Like throw a bra into the ring kind of flabby? I hope not but they have sure been tight on the pictures from camp. Khans got a pretty big frame. Its hard to believe he'd have issues putting on a few pounds.
There were some picture in the Daily Mail a month or so ago and he did not look good at all with the weight on. What weight he does put on is bound to slow him down and it's not going to lead to him sparking the ginger, is it?
Khan gets knocked out at some point. It's probably going to be pretty brutal as well, it's a Mexican holiday crowd and a PPV audience and a Vegas ref who is going to give people as much of their money's worth as possible. Khan is not going to get a British stoppage.

I just cannot get beyond a guy harping on speed speed speed while at the same time he's packing on quick fix bulk and what will undoubtedly be some water weight. Khans best bet and thinking only chance is to cut Canelo up early and hope panic sets in. Its a fight where one guy can make ten times the mistakes of the other, Khan will be tip toing through a mind field every minute of every round and he's already shown that once he gets buzzed his feet tend to stop. Canelo won't have to play some search and destroy and may surprise Khan by himself boxing Khan into the tko midway. Also anything other than a devastating ko will knock Canelo down a notch in the public eye. He's also put himself into a corner with this manufactured match.
re: So Khan off to sleep, or dancing the night away to a with a frustrated Canelo?
Khan needs to punch and move 3 minutes a round and he just cannot fight like Floyd Mayweather without getting tagged along the way and then fighting all mental. It's an odd matchup. I am still not convinced that Canelo isn't Prince Harry.

He didn't outbox Cotto. I thought that Cotto boxed better for sure. The difference was that Cotto couldn't hurt Canelo whatsoever and every punch Canelo landed really affected Cotto. Cotto controlled the fight well but just couldn't handle the size of canelo. Khan will be even worse. He won't be able to dictate the pace at all.
I can not remember Cotto being badly hurt in that fight.
I don't think he was ever badly hurt but he definitely got hurt by some of them. And they definitely moved him backwards sometimes.
Canelo was dodging most of what Cotto was throwing and then counter him and pressuring. To me that out boxing someone if you dodge most of they punches counter them and go in. I watch the fight a few times damn near most of cottos punches were dodged by Canelo.

Khan gets through early danger and outboxes Canelo (who suffers a cut mid-fight) for 12 rounds. Scores are about 9-3 but declared a draw, Khan gets robbed. Khan claims a moral victory.....
re: So Khan off to sleep, or dancing the night away to a with a frustrated Canelo?
Khan is gonna have to "Cory Spinks" his way to victory: Tap and run, tap and run. The end result is him having more punches landed, and Canelo with the more effective but FEWER shots landed.....and hope the judges value volume over substance.
re: So Khan off to sleep, or dancing the night away to a with a frustrated Canelo?
Canelo's resume literally outweighs kahns' resume (In weight divisions) Khan has been KO'd by smaller men. Khan seems to be a good fighter that was passed by others but there was also some annoying ranting and raving. Canelo leaves me scratching my head and I wonder why he has this title and allowed to dictate weight. I know Khan will give a good account of himself if he sticks and moves avoiding trading hooks with a hooker. As they say in American football, Khan is the quarterback and has to hit the target before being mowed down like grass by a lawn mower. Still the bigger man with some moves of his own Canelo may have underestimated a man who still has a great deal to prove and has an ego that could fill Wembley Stadium. I am leaning on Canelo for the win because the odds have been in his favor since the negotiations were in session and hoping at least that Khan doesn't wind up career wise as they say in the US Marines, writing a check with his mouth that his ass can't cash." If he loses, let's hope he proves that the middleweight champion was lucky he wasn't fighting Golovkin. He has to stick and move (Khan) and fight like he has a ten foot pole keeping away a bimbo that no one wants to be near in a raunchy bar located in a place just a few miles from hell.

If Khan gets a $13 million dollar payday, that's his biggest victory. He'll laugh his way out of the emergency room straight to the bank.

Not to mention if you look at the stats for the fight Canelo landed 155 at 32 percent to Cottos 129 21 percent that pretty clear out landing. Like said earlier Canelo was dodging almost all of Cottos shots while contering with harder shots i would say that out boxing someone.
