    Khan was never A-Side.

    Why did Hunter and Ward want Chad Dawson to weight drain by moving down to 168?

    Why did they not agree to fight him at 175?

    Joe Calzaghe went up to 175 for Hopkins and won the linear title.

    Khan is really only moving up one weight, which isn't that big a deal.

    But only because he can't make 168 now.

    Virgil Hunter has made some nice paydays over the past few years. He will have the trainer to the B side opponents against Canelo twice and Floyd once.:hey

    Virgil needs the money because Ward doesn't pay him much. Virgil lives in Ward's basement so he can keep and eye on his beloved God son.:rofl

    I'm thinking trainers get at least 10% right? So he got Angulo vs Canelo , Berto vs PBF and now Khan vs Canelo. Those 3 purses have to be close to $ 10 million maybe?

    Exactly!

    I keep hearing it all over the internet that Khan is moving up two weight divisions, but since the fight is at the limit of 155 lbs, that's just one pound off the juniormiddleweight limit.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo officially weighs in at 154 lbs.

    that guy is his A side, he wins cause he's feeding him bums and no hopers. should he match his fighter with a guy like Kovalev or GGG they will both be exposed as bums. Ward needs 5 tune-ups to be ready for Kovalev, then will sudently realise he haven't fought anybody for 5 years hence he'll need another aditional 5 tune-ups. Meanwhile Virgil has no problem sendig his other star in to the lions den. All that talk about how Khan will have his biggest pay day is just bs, Khan makes more money and has more drawing power than Ward
