Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Canelo Was Around 180-Pounds, I Didn't Expect That

[ruedboy]

"khan did very well in the fight..." What does that even mean?
Basically he avoided getting knocked cold until the 6th round. Khan boxed well enough to win most of the early rounds but Alvarez walked through everything Khan was throwing.
Khan talked himself into a big payday, more power to him but he's yet to prove he's even a top WW. It's funny, Khan gets ko'd like everyone expected and he comes out better for it. What a Khan-job.SMH

All I will ever remember from May 7th is that Canelo looked ordinary until he summoned his 180 pound punch. Dudes clearly not skilled like these Olympians, just ate a lot of tortas over night. Smh , great job by Amir, Canelo looked beyond ordinary it reminded me of glimpses when Floyd had him missing all night. Getting beat to the punch, GGG kills Redhead

How did it remind you of Floyd? Or you mean Canelo making him miss while standing in front of him? Or it must have been how Canelo out punched and out landed him by a nice amount. :/... It's tough to be delusional and salty these days when there's proof. Khan did well in 2 rounds..and by well I mean he won the feel out rounds lol. Other than that Canelo completely outlanded, out punched, out skilled, out manned...and just generally showed himself to be infinitely better.


Don't cry anymore, Virgil. We told you Khan didn't have a functional speed advantage... Speed only works when the other guy doesn't have the better reaction/skills/reflexes/timing. Canelo is made for this...Khan is not. I'm sorry about what you had to see Saturday but if it's too much for you, you may leave the room and let the men watch their boxing in peace.

The biggest 155 lb'er ever! He is not ready to move up to the 156 lb division yet though.

people need to realize that there is a reason why canelo refused to let HBO weigh him on fight night. it's because he was easily above 175 and most likely in the low 180s. this is beyond digusting. a guy who says he is small for middleweight???? hahahahahahahahahahhaha. canelo has to be the first in boxing history to act the way he does. disgusting.no defense for this cowardice. NONE.

being low 180s on fight night and cherry picking on smaller men with glass chins is worse than being on steroids. this is cheating at its worst. canelo could have seriously hurt khan badly or maybe even killed him.

You're 100% correct. And any time canelo fights someone his own size he doesn't look that good

[BattlingNelson]

He weighed 174 vs Angulo...

Wow. Thats more than Golovkin. He was 173 for Rubio.

You're not a man. Youre a groupie. Hop off canelita's clit

I don't know why this stuff surprises anyone. After Canelo out grew welterweight, where he only fought bums in Mexico, he began fighting Jr welterweights and welterweights at a catchweight of 150 lbs. Jose Cotto, Carlos Baldomir, Lovemore Ndou, Mathew Hatton, Josesito Lopez. Through out that time he fought one Light Middleweight Luciano Cuello for the WBC silver title, and defended it at catch weights until he won the full title at a catch weight against a Welterweight, Mathew Hatton, and defended it against a light middleweight who had out grew the weight and had already moved up to Middleweight, Ryan Rhodes, who after loosing to Canelo immediately moved back to Middleweight.

So for his entire reign at light Middleweight Canelo fought two light Welterweights, Jose Cotto, Josesito Lopez, 5 Welterweights Baldomir, Ndou, Matthew Hatton, Gomez, Mayweather, 1 Middleweight Ryan Rhodes, and 4 Light Middleweights Cuello, Cintron, Mosley, Trout.

Now at Middleweight Canelo has fought 3 light Middleweights Angulo, Lara, Cotto all at a catch weight of 155 lbs, and 1 Welterweight Khan.

History shows that most of Canelo's fights are taken when he has a size and weight advantage. Which doesn't bode well for GGG because I can't see Canelo budge on 155 lbs. Based on his history, Canelo will start fighting full sized Middleweight threats when he moves up to super Middleweight.

For the millionth time I have to say Khans speed is overrated. He's been faster than everyone he's been in the ring with yet he's always the one stretched out. But hey at least he won the first two rounds doe.

Yeah, he doesn't know how to actually use his speed. Fast hands are nice but ultimately you need to be able to land with them.

[Yaleiza07]

That's what happens when a bloated Jr Welterwieght faces a Real middleweight. boxing has different weight classes, he really didn't knew what he was getting into before that punch landed. Time to step up Canelo and face someone your own size. Good K.O, no excuses Khan.

So are most fighters fishy to you? Because there's only a handful of boxers who step on the scale fight night so you fickle internet dweebs could sit here and nitpick at it lol its pathetic.

Fighters who are complaining about being too small for something and failing to take the opportunities to replace fact with opinion raise my eyebrow. Same goes for someone avoiding a PED test over 50k when they are making millions. Oh and on that dweeb shhh do us both a favor and save that shh for people who feed off that shhh cuz. We've agreed on a ton of shhh don't turn into a troll because you don't agree with something.
