If he doesn't get chinned he could win a wide UD.

What gives you that idea? I think the chances are he does get badly chinned, much harder than he got chinned vs Danny a couple of division below. But even if it were to go to points, Canelo is an elite boxer who has decision wins over other elite fighters in Cotto, Trout and Lara. I thought Khan lost to Algieri in last effort and i can't remember my Diaz card but with Khan being on the floor i had it very close.

I would. At least Rosado could fight back. Canelo can just walk through Khan. Amir should try to do what Lara did -- move and not engage.

He couldn't hit Mayweather with a hand full of rice, not saying Khan is Floyd but he is very illusive when he fights smart, that is until he gets hit hard. Canelo will be the favourite for sure though.

I've never seen Khan be elusive tbh, it seems to me if the other guy can hang with his power off the back of the speed they start finding a very easy target. Bookmakers putting up some odds, now, got Canelo 1/3. Expected him to be shorter tbh, be interesting to see what the offer on Canelo by KO/TKO/DQ.

If it means Hearn doesnt get the money he was hoping for in making Brook-Khan then it's all by me.

Yeah to be honest i've never seen Khan as a particularly cerebral fighter. More volume and having tremendous athleticism/speed. He struggled with Algieri, struggled with Julio Diaz. I think bizarrely that's actually a right handed fighter who does better against southpaws than he does orthodox boxers.

Didn't Khan at one point in his career fight at like 135 lol
He got TKO'd by Garcia at 140.

Considering that Khan has no size advantage here, I would imagine that he will probably get stopped here because Canelo is too good to lose on a decision, especially after the experience against Floyd.

My oh my oh my.
Never would have predicted such a huge mismatch. Are we even sure that he knows what he is doing, or is this a match up made by his father? Surely his family need to get involved and pull the plug on this sooner rather than later. I fear that this will sign khan out of boxing forever more. He has done the funky gibbon dance against boxers who have little or no power, and so I genuinely fear for the health of khan after this fight as it is likely to only end one way. While khan may have speed and power of his own, he does not likely have the power at 155, and certainly won't be able to deal with a Canelo who is likely to be around the 165 mark on the night.
Some call khan ballsy for taking this fight, I call him suicidal. I hope that it ends quickly and that the nevada commission have oxygen on standby as they are going to need it early.

What a joke, didn't he want a voluntary so he could fight a genuine MW before he fought GGG, then he pulls this crap, if he is the new cash cow in boxing then boxing hasn't stooped this low EVER

4/6 sounds like pension fund material.

5 Rounds! "Certainly will GET MOPPED UP!" This is truly dumb fight to make IF IT'S TRUE! Khan vs Broner OK! Khan vs Crawford is "daring"! Khan vs Canelo is "apparent suicide".
Amir Khan has improved but IF he does anything good in fight such as this one......I will be "whopper surprised"!

Or stupid, depending on the way you look at it. I'm hoping Canelo blasts his chin off.

Of course he gets credit. Floyd didn't want to fight Canelo at 155.

If Khan doesn't get caught, I think he's fast enough that Canelo would have trouble with his handspeed.

yes he gets credit but it was Canelo who said he wanted Floyd at 150 or 152. Moral of the story: Be careful of what you ask for.

Floyd ran away from a drained child, with no energy or stamina, and subsequently his win has little or no value, deal with it.

Yes and if Khan beats Canelo, he can say "I beat a healthy Canelo....with my glass chin" Ether.

Yeah just look at all the running he did from the 167lb Canelo:

Still got them sour grapes from the Pacquiao loss, you're a pathetic soul. It's a damn shame that you will go through the rest of your life having to live with the sting of that loss and your hateful bitterness.

Sad and pathetic, truly.
