Amir Khan to fight Saul Alvarez for WBC world title in Las Vegas

#PrayForKhan

Someone needs to phone social services. This is no way for a father to treat his son. Big money beat down on the cards for Khan.

This will be a complete and utter wipe-out. If Khan makes it past round 1, it will be seen as an achievement. It's a freak match-up.

I almost think it's political. With Muslim Khan being set up to be hurt badly by Oscar and Golden Boy. Seeing Khan KO'd fully stretched out mid ring leaving a full body oily stain on the canvas would be great. What Khan represents is America's enemies who they are at war with.

I honestly don't like this fight at all. Really something weird is going on.

I have a feeling Donald Trump will be the ring announcer ...

I try not to argue here... but a muslin may be wiped out of existence on 7 of May, may because he still has time to invite Jesus in his life

@denilson200, that's a bit bizarre but you are entitled to your opinion.

@denilson200

I wish you weren't entitled to breathe. Agree this is a shit fight though.

My friend is a big fan of both fighters, and I can't wait to hear his feeble attempts to justify this fight and how this shows Canelo beats GGG.

Hang in there GGG, you'll get your chance to claim your rightful spot as the Middleweight King ;D

Even though they did make a ton of money, and got exposure, they took the fight because they are tough, respectable fighters.

So don't go thinking khan is just about the money and exposure. He is for sure doing it because he is tough and wants to fight the best. I know this because he fought all of the top welters and cleaned them out and now fighting a middle is his only option left.

Co-signed. Khan gets shitted on by a lot people. Now he decides stop calling out Mayweather and accepts a challenge in which the odds and physical advantages are stacked against him, he still gets heat for it.

Why take the Kell Brook fight if it's still going to be there anyway regardless of the outcome of this fight? You can't accuse him of ducking Brook either because he's fighting Canelo Fucking Alvarez instead.

I 100% understand why khan signed. He did it for the money. The exact reason he wanted the mayweather and pac fights. If he wanted to prove he was the best, he would fight a top welter

Yep, I agree. He wanted mayweather got strung along. He wanted Pacquiao, got strung along by arum. Canelo is 3rd biggest name out there as far as money for a single show goes.

Khan thinks he can replicate Laras performance with more flash and flurries. Without the lateral movement hes a sitting duck. Canelo wings and telegraphs his punch so the should be easy to spot mostly. But canelo caught trout and lara onec or twice. Personally I think khan will hang in the pocket too long and get clipped. At that point canelo either chases him around on jelly legs or he tries to fight canelo off and gets rag dolled like kirkland.

At least somebody in the Khan camp has a clear head. Here's Hunter the trainer:

"Amir is bigger than Floyd, longer and at this time, I know when he's in good shape, his tank is much fuller because of his age," Khan told Sky Sports News HQ. "But definitely that's the fight you want to look at and see where you can capitalise on, but also add a few edges to it that maybe Floyd didn't do that night because he had control of that fight from very early. Amir also possesses enough pop to keep him honest."

So all Khan has to do to win is box like Floyd Mayweather and maybe even add a few things that Floyd didn't need. I don't know why Khan never thought of it before. He could have boxed like Floyd against Garcia and won easily. Peterson as well. He definitely would have got a fight against Floyd or Manny if he'd just boxed like Floyd and won all the fights he's lost.

Cinco De Mayo, the T-Mobile arena, Las Vegas, just before the first bell. "You can win this fight easily Amir. Just go out there and box like Floyd. He won't be able to get near you."

Fucks sake, thats really really pissed me off, why didn't some fucker tell me a few years ago that I could have made fame and fortune if just boxed like mayweather, fuck me, I'm stuck in a dead end 9 till 5 job now, its too late for me kids but just go out and be as good as floyd and you'll be fine

Actually I've just had a think about it, I'm 30 years old and never boxed in my life, someone get me Frank Bruno on the phone, I'll Mayweather that old fucker all night long, that'd be a good start to my profesional career

If only it was that simple I would love to batter Floyd himself but would have to come in with a baseball bat.

I'm pulling out of the fight with Bruno, it just aint worth the training, I'd only spend the purse on beer hookers and cocaine and 3 days later I'd be back in my 9/5 job and no one would be none the wiser of my short lived boxing career

My god Frank you have escaped a serious ass whupping there

What's bizarre to the sheep, is not going to bizarre to the wolf.

Great point and well worded as usual, @denilson200 .

Canelo has improved considerably since Mayweather, i reckon Khan is out of his mind taking this fight. Canelo by KO 2
