Id like to see Sauls previous fight. I heard he fought a slick boxer and Saul pretty much dominated but he didnt finish him off. Ofcourse he wasnt of Khans caliber but I wonder if they he had good speed? At this point I dont think Sauls ready hes still 19.
Ive heard great things about the kid, but I have yet to see one of his fights. What can you all tell me about him?
in 1 year or 2 Canelo Woul Ko that glass chin EASILY ... listen to me .. Easily ... better for Khan to stay ay LWW ... Canelo has the power to hurt very bad .... he need to mature a little more
Saul is a legit future star at 147-154. Although we still haven't seen all of what Roach can do to tighten Khan's game, I feel Alvarez is more suited to do big things in the pros.
I think Alvarez would knock out Khan as Canelo is a world class counter puncher. Canelo likes to counter lefts hand with either a short right, a long right, or a right upper cut. He likes to counter the left with a body head hook combo. I don't see how this fight would interest Amir Khan as he refused to fight Victor Ortiz.
I was about (and probably still going to) open a thead named "Amir Khan vs. Saul Alvarez in 2013 - who wins the 154lbs World Championship?" Yeah, I know, but why not play Nostradamus? At the moment neither Khan and especially Alvarez proved they are ready for the elite level where their fight(s) would be, but both showing signs of a great fighter at a truly young age. Khan is already very impressive and going to improve his chin and power dramatically. Alvarez for me is about 18 month away from beating a legit top welter, needs a lot of seasoning especially speed, movement & defense wise, but I just have the feeling he's something special in the making. Once Khan starts building muscles on the legs and have proper nutrition (he moved DOWN at the age of 19 from 140 to 135, it's about time to let his body grow), he'll easily grow out 140 and most likely 147 in a few years. Alvarez will grow into 154. I'd say Khan wins a trilogy 2-1 (KO6, SD12, UD12).
i'd say Canelos powers always be a big trouble for Khan's Glass Chin ... the first fight would be so one sided that rematch would be out of business
Aslong as alvarez is at 147 he wont do ****. Rodrigo Garcia is 5-0 and would shut that guy out right now.
