I like how they took the picture in a way that makes Khan look bigger. lol. I don't know who will fall for it, though.

Canelo in a skin tight sweater and Khan in a Gangster overcoat with a scarf over that pencil neck. It's about the density. Khan's legs next to Canelos look like the K in OK.

Walk around size looks about the same to me - unless Khan's coat is padded

- >>> that was probably done on purpose - makes the match-up seem like less of a mismatch.

Interested to see what moving up does for Khan. He was always a big lightweight and a bigger WW. I think this fight is all wrong for him and Canelo gets an easy KO, but there are a lot of guys at 154 he would beat with his speed.

Canelo hired a year round chef or nutritionist? His gut looks smaller than it normally does between fights.

He looks in great 'between fights' shape - speaks well of his team and his professionalism

A nothing fight at a nothing weight 155lbs , Canelo 'middleweight' champion is a coward for taking Khan who is not a champion at his own weight and is barely proven at welterweight.
Can't stand Khan but I hope this backfires for Canelo there are many more worthy opponents out there.

Khan has more guts than Floyd, Triple G, Ward or Canelo himself...

That being said... Canelo is going to walk through anything Khan throws at him...

I don't see anyway that Khan has any power to keep Canelo from walking him down...

But I think Khan will just go the Miguel Cotto against Margarito route and just back peddle all night..it'll be like the Maidana fight the last few rounds..and Khan will hope the extra weight will help his chin...

Khan's only advantage is hand speed... he doesn't have the foot speed of Floyd Mayweather to make Canelo have to keep resetting his feet before he can throw power punches...

I think Khan last a bit longer than people expect because of the extra weight..but eventually Canelo will blow him out of the water when he lands clean enough times and he will...

Canelo by Mid-round KO..

He's trying to look the 155 part so people don't keep calling him out on weighing more than Triple G on fight nights...while crying he's still too small...

-HUGE MEGA EVENT FOR BOXING-
-A MUST ORDER PPV-

Seeing CANELO and Khan in London is pretty damn cool, the UK deserves to see these guys on their home soil making a press conference, it's great for both fighters and fans around the globe.
Would of been epic & awesome to see all hell break loose , a scuffle between both crews , where CANELO punches a guy off the boat and Chepo Reynoso getting punched in the gut!

Canelo will be shuffling around in cement boots struggling to lay a paw on Khan in the first couple rounds. But once he tags that chin it's all over.
