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

[LADIV]

Can someone please point to me where in this article does it states that canelo weighed 180 lbs on fight night...aside from khan saying that he was probably 180 lbs
Its states that he refused to be weighed on fight night...so cut the crap that he weighed 180 lbs...

I love how convenient it is to call some of them welters when they had previously fought and in some cases won titles at 54...for example... Carlos baldomir is being brought up as a WW despite not making weight by a couple POUNDS. Are some of the people here actually watching and remembering fights and fighters or just on wiki? I saw that Baldomir fight and clearly remember him being bigger than Canelo lol. People are mad that a 19-20 year old was doing well? Who hates on a kid? The only matchups that were ever "bad" were Hatton and Josesito but Josesito was not supposed to be in there. Cotto was the MW champ but it suits people better to call him a 54 guy despite him having fought at higher weights than canelo (..the reaching is that hard). Mosley and Floyd had already success at 54 and he fought floyd at 52. Lara is ok for GGG but hes 54 for Canelo (ok?) and also somehow still considered the best at 54 bu guys here before their fight. Trout is big and was considered the best at 54.. Gomez was a guy being sacrificed to a young guy. Cintron is a 54 pounder. Angulo is huge and people said he'd never fight him. Kirkland also huge was supposed to be this animal who'd also slaughter Canelo (yeah...people actually believed that..look up youtube comments or old comments from here).

How many people were outraged at crawford weighing over 150 for Gamboa? Donaire outsizing significantly anyone he fought for most of his career. Ward getting Golovkin to move up 8 pounds (the same amount Amir moved up)? Pac bringing Cotto down despite obviously being pretty much the same size? Ward bringing Dawson down the full 8 pounds? Nicholas Walters missing weight? Floyd fighting Guerrero.. GGG with Rosado..GGG with frickin Ishida...And it goes on and on. No one is defending Canelo but take a look at the reaching. You have guys in their 30s doing things guys in their early 20s tend to do as they are being brought up as prospects/contenders. Who was Floyd fighting 19 years ago? Most of them over matched opponents. Stop acting like new boxing fans..like you've never seen a younger fighter be huge..people forget the weights guys like Oscar used to fight at and enjoyed huge size advantages..Pac was huge, etc.

Don't get your panties up in a bunch cuz some weird ginger mexican kid is doing what he's supposed to be doing. Put it into context, follow the sport, watch the actual fights...you'll be happier than you will be hating on a dude younger than most of us.

A 25 year old crushed some veterans on his way up and guys who people thought were better than they were? Sounds like the whole history of boxing.

The only 'source' is Amir Khan.

Tells you all you need to know.

Bs...

Even after brutally being KO'ed, Khan STILL cannot pipe down. Smh...Canelo didn't step on any unofficial scale on purpose. So, nobody knows how much he weighed on fight night. Khan looked as big as Canelo did. I say he weighed about 165lbs. He trained to move and pursue Khan. He trained for hand speed and I think he came in light. He did not look as big as he normally does. FACT. Go sit down somewhere Khan and the rest of you Canelo HATERS!

Well one would wonder why you would refuse to be weighed on fight night... Probably because he's got something to hide... like possibly weighing 180?

It was 170 or 175 pre fight. Now Khan says 180 and it's 180?

If I'm Canelo I don't step on the scales on purpose. Keep the other guys guessing about how heavy you might come in...We've seen other guys not get weighed and no one adds 25 pounds lol. Even Chavez Jr didn't hit 180 (Or was he? I might have his numbers confused) from what I recall..or Pavlik. Stop, guys. :/

I could've written the script for this soap opera. This has played out predictably.

There never was a fight here. This was 100% hype charade BS. Tomato Khan had zero chance of victory. Canelo was told to carry the little arab and NOT KO him early. Fighters like Canelo and GGG could KO these guys in round 1 if they wanted to and this Canelo/Khan fight was ridiculed for good reason as soon as it was announced. A early blow out would have been embarrassing and proved Khan never had a chance and that every dumb peasant that paid money for the fight got SCAMMED. How much post fight hype about the tomato Khan giving a "good fight"? 100% BS. Apparently fight fans have learned nothing from the **** Mayweather era. Shame on the De La Hoya and BHop old f a g sell outs.

Canelo comes in 170+ every fight. He's a middleweight sucking down fighting smaller guys. He weighed 165 against Floyd but look at him at the weigh in, he's a fkin corpse...
