LondonRingRules Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 --- Highly disappointed if this is true, but the video looks straight out of GB. Assuming this another 155lb catchweight as Khan has never been over 147 that I recall. Easy money for Canelo though and the speed work will be good for him. Should make decent money to further delay the GGG fight which I assume will be a Sept Mex holiday. It is what it is, GB currently caught between Haymon and TR.

repsac Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 There's so many good opponents at Welterweight, yet Khan decides to move up in weight? I hope Canelo hulk smashes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavpowell Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 I'd love to see Khan win...Imagine Golovkin Vs Khan ... It's only the size difference makes me think he can't - Canelo is not exactly an intelligent fighter, he's just solid offence and not much else. If Khan could keep his distance and just zip in and out landing combinations, he could win. Trouble is, Khan rarely shows the discipline to fight like that.

selij Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 Oh, thank you God. Khan gets retired and proper filled in.............:wave: 155 catchweight? "Welterweight" Khan will need some of my Olympic squatting weight plates strapped to his arse to make that....and come fight day Canelo will hit the ring about 170. Have that Khan!

I can't fault Khan for his ambition but what the hell are Canelo and his team thinking of. Fighting a guy who's never fought above 147lbs and with a rep for a weak chin:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cableaddict Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 Just imagine the worst-case outcome: Amir Kahn, lineal MW champ of the world. It staggers the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_budweiser Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 An exciting fight but one I can't see Khan winning no matter what weight it was made at. I really do think Canelo will walk through Khans shots on the night and grind Khan down. Canelo will bully Khan all over the ring - Canelo by stoppage.

WelshDevilRob Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 Smacks of Khan's desperation to get a big money fight. Does he realistically think he can win or just grabbing the payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he realistically think he can win or just grabbing the payday. I would be worried if he went into a ring thinking I am going to lose this. Every fighter should go in with a positive frame of mind. I'm sure he won't be complaining about his payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selij Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 There are easier places for a WW (just about) to go running other than a boxing ring with a proper MW hunting you down.

reznick Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 Khan has no chance in hell. His punches are too weak as is his chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeli3000 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 wont be suprised if Khan retires after this after getting stopped simliar to kirkland but faster and quicker and more brutal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not matter what the result is he will set him self with a fight against Brook and he has been rumored to be getting 3m for that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 He could get so badly traumatised by a Canelo bodyshot KO or stoppage he might have to retire or worse. I cant see a future for Khan after this inside a boxing ring. Why retire after this?

battlingsiki Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Re: Canelo alvarez to face amir khan on may 7 I see Khan doing very well. His speed and movement will make it a closer fight than the communal tide suggests. Oh yes, it is on. Raised eyebrows and no Marv Albert scandal!
