Official Canelo vs. Khan Master Discussion Thread

Disagree completely.

You're not factoring in the speed difference between Golovkin and Khan.

I aint forgot nothing. Golovkin will be the first fighter Canelo has ever faced thats as big as him and he will be facing a guy who is supremely schooled in the art of boxing. Golovkin just happens to punch like a young mule. Dude has skills and canelo will get beat up. Im not saying Golovkin will stop him but who knows, Canelo has been fighting little guys his entire career.

That was some punk ass **** that Virgil Hunter was doing. Your dude just got one punched KO'd and Canelo has made your fighter richer in one fight then like almost his whole career combined. Call out Brook or something, don't try to throw shade like Khan has never ducked anyone before.

Love or hate Kahn he earned his respect,the haters really need to eat $h!t and give him his props

Respect to Khan for those first 3 or 4 rounds. I thought he was doing really well & better than I expected. Kinda figured it was only a matter of time & had somewhat become reserved that Canelo was likely going to need a couple more rounds to get Khan outta there before that impressive KO.

And man Khan falls scary every time he falls. He ragdolls. His family gotsa be tensed up & his girl crying when that **** goes down.

Beyond that I just hope GGG vs Canelo happens, via any means necessary to make that fight, in September.

Khan fought his ass off tonight. Hopefully he's okay and get go back to 147 where a fight with Brook can happen.

Overall the fight was good, but it was predictable. We all knew this would happen. This is why we have weight classes

I'm talking about the shots Canelo was getting hit with tonight.

It was solely down to Khans speed and nothing else. That's why when Canelo began going to the body in the third, Khan became reserved, Canelo had figured him out and began timing him.

GGG doesn't solely rely on speed to land his punches, so I don't think Canelo would have basically follow him around and time his punches.

You ****ting me? They can throw all the shade they want for the punk ass move canelo and Golden Boy made for making this fight. Cinnamon is gonna run like a little ***** from the only fight that matters. He dont fight Golovkin next at the mw limit he is a ***** made mother ****er. He just called up a blown up jr welter for a pay day. Its time to pay the piper.

Khan was doing pretty well the first few rounds attacking Canelo with good 3-4 shot combinations.. Perhaps he should have moved to a more defensive stance to avoid a KO. Unfortunately for him he got caught with a good right hand from Canelo and that was the end. Canelo looked like the was trying to adjust to Khans incredible hand speed every round which ultimately helped him out.

What if Khan switched it up and started to pot shot Canelo and backing out quicklymuch like Mayweather. Avoiding any serious exchange from Canelo of course. Do you think maybe he would have lasted the 12 rounds and possible scored a favorable decision?

I wanted it to go a little longer, Canelo was starting to school him

He really was starting to bust him up. He invested in the body early, which was going unnoticed vs some flash arm punches that may or may not have landed.

[b00g13man]

why are virgil and khan so upset saying fight ggg

I have to see it slow motion but can someone confirm, or was it just me, I thought I saw salt coming out Khan and Hunter's mouths.

I know, right **** was hilarious.
