Why is anybody giving khan credit for taking this fight? His stock is at an all time low and this is easily the biggest money fight that can be made. Khan fears the other Welters and knows that fighting someone like Garcia or Thurman won't get him anywhere near the payday and he will probably still lose.

If he is going to lose anyways, at least he can make the excuse that he was the smaller man against Canelo. And Canelo just shows that he's a slightly better version of Chavez jr by fighting people half his size almost every fight.
