    These are the claims being made my Khan and his camp after packing on the muscle mass for 155.

    Assume these statements are facts.

    Does he beat Canelo?

    How does he fare against GGG?

    No about power, but I think he will be a tad bit faster... Won't matter doe, Canelo will time that speed and ko him.:deal

    Khan can't even beat James Kirkland..has no shot at Canelo...he's banking out money wise because he can't get Mayweather, so he doesn't care about getting his assss kicked by Alvarez.

    So THREE times the punching power won't help Khan beat Canelo?

    IF

    His punches are now three times stronger, with more sting and KO potential - he STILL can't beat Canelo?

    The Canelo who we now all agree has no Mexican Pride or Mexican fighting heart?

    He might be a bit stronger although looking at recent pictures he has just put fat on, Im not sure if he has even done any weights to put some muscle on judging by his training videos. He could be faster but most likely won't be and it will be interesting to see how his stamina holds up if it lasts a few rounds.

    To answer your questions, the claims are way out there but if they were true he would he would still get KOed by GGG and nearly all MWs. Do you realise though how hard he would actually be punching if he was 3x as powerful lol, that may be GGG kind of power.

    He'll gas out considerably by the 9th or 10th I believe.

    This
    The real question will be does Canelo hit hard enough to put kahn out.

    I don't see how he can be faster.

    He might stronger though definitely not 3 times as strong and whatever strength gains he's made will likely not be a factor he doesn't have a physical style and is up against the biggest man he's fought to date.

    As for speed, no chance, he looked slower than I've seen him before against Algieri and he'll be even slower with the extra weight.

    I think he might give Canelo a few problems but it's only a matter of time before Canelo times a good counter against one of Khan's many mistakes and knocks him out.
