jesus, fair play to Khan.
Strung Hearn, Brook and the WBC Title along for negotiating leverage...

If true this is a ballsy move and I'm a big critic of Khan's recent opponents

This is crazy, easy Canelo stoppage similar to the Kirkland one.

Fair play, if khan can run for 12 n land the odd combo he will get the most unlikely of wins, reality tho ko'd before 6

it won't be that quick, Alvarez will look very slow-footed next to Khan and he'll take time to catch up to him.

Brook left in the lurch, Witter style. Eddie will be heartbroken.

Credit to Khan
He has his huge payday but no one can say he's avoiding risk. Canelo will hurt him!

Was anyone reporting this, or where there any whispers about it? This has come out of the blue. Could be an unreal fight if Khan can handle the extra weight.

It wont last more then 6 rounds, imagine if Canelo got injured Zepeda style vs Flanagan though and Khan become the lineal MW champion! He would probably retire claiming to be GOAT.

Shocked.

Fair play to Khan though, very gutsy move. If he loses (as is expected) he can still move back down to welter for some big pay days after a rebuilding fight.

Where does Brook go now?

Maybe he can fight Algeiri or Bundu once he's done with Jo Jo Dan's leftovers.

Or he could follow Khan up and fight Khomitsky.
