Canelo was coming off a fight where he looked shit against Trout. Giving Canelos struggles with Trout it was clear his style would suit Floyd. The only thing that could have caused Floyd trouble in that fight was a big strength difference but given the extra weight he had to cut Floyd was taken a pretty low risk. Khans hand speed is like nothing Floyd has ever faced and is something he would find very hard to prepare for.
