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

[J_Undisputed]

You know who I really respect? Algeri because he fought pac for a career high payday. You know who else? Berto fighting mayweather for a career high payday. Those two went against the best and the odds were stacked against them but they took the fight anyways. 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.
