should the unlikely happen and Khan win, where will it rank in terms of upsets

Would be huge. Hope Khan wins but reckon Canelo stops him mid way through. Not stopped me putting a tenner on the draw though

Joe beating Lacy wasn't a shock, just the one sided beat down nature of it.

 

Canelo has been beaten before by a runner (Floyd). Then very nearly beaten a second time by an even more egregious runner (Lara). If Khan runs all night he could beat him, as Canelo has shown to have a very big weakness against movers. So in that respect it wouldnt be such a great upset.

 

Khan's winning this over the distance.

 

It would be an upset, but not of epic proportions simply because Canelo isn't that good.

 

Floyd and lara are good counterpunchers and khan isnt. Also i wouldnt call khan a great mover as in lateral movement, hes decent in straight lines and canelo isnt good at cutting the ring so i do think he can move out of the way but no where near as good as he could if he had good lateral movement or good movement whilst low.

 

Floyd never ran vs Canelo. He nailed him with the lead right whenever he wanted and took centre ring.

 

Agreed. I'm not necessarily talking about Khan's skill here I'm talking about Canelo's weaknesses. Naturally it will be an upset but given that Canelo has had trouble before, I wouldn't see it as the biggest upset ever. If Khan is unwilling to engage throughout, he might make Canelo look bad. Still don't see Khan winning but I wouldn't bet the house on Canelo either.
