    If Khan wins he'll fight the rematch then retire.

    He fought Canelo out of desperation. It's his last shot for a huge megafight which he has longed for his whole career. He thinks he has D.Garcia & Brook to fall back onto incase he loses...but I think he'll find that's not the case....

    Arum might be interested in getting him for Bradley though....but Khan will need to survive 8 rounds and not get blasted out by Canelo.

    Respect to Kahn for taking on the challenge. I don't think anyone expected him to campaign at 160 after this

    I never expected him to stay at MW. It doesn't make sense. However I hope he don't park his ass at 154 because he would be in bigger trouble .

    I would very much like to see him fight Brook or Bradley. It's a shame he's fighting Canelo. Nobody wants to see that.

    Khan looks top heavy to me, when he started working with Roach and Ariza he looked top heavy then so they stripped him down and rebuilt him more evenly.

    It looks like he has taken every short cut to stick on the weight, he hasn't done it the right way and he will pay a heavy price.

    I'm not having the weight used as an excuse if and when Canelo knocks Khan out. I have a memory and didnt Khan say he sparred with Ward and took his best?

    Exactly, gotta respect Khan for taking this fight, its almost certain he is going to get knocked out.

    Khan was looking for a big money fight with Floyd and Pac, and when those didnt materialize he had to go to the next biggest name - Canelo.
