Amir Khan v Saul Alvarez

[Master]

Alvarez was awarded the "diamond belt" which means even if he did lose he would somehow be world champion. Should he win which most suspect he will then vacate or drop the "regular" one that he coveted fraudulently and take this fraud no doubt to an all new level.

Damn! If they are being that corrupt about it then maybe Khan will not even get the decision.

See again why fights like Ortiz-Berto II are good for the sport when nothing of note is on the line.

Khan gets props from me win or lose. Canelo shouldn't be respected if he has to squeeze out a win.

Canelo should not be respected for this fight period. Anything other than a quick KO is an embarrassment for him.

Agreed. Even before this fight I wasn't the biggest fan of Canelo. When I read the announcement I was in disbelief. The fact that he's fighting a WW instead of a middleweight is just sad in my opinion. People give GGG shit because of his resume, but at least he's fighting people in his weight class. If Canelo doesn't knock out Khan in under 6 rounds (and if it takes that long that's bad news for when he fights GGG) then my respect for him will plummet.

I'm looking forward more to the post fight interview, when Max asks him about GGG and to see what he says.

Question to ALL:


Is Canelo good at cutting the ring off?

He is no Julio Ceaser Chavez but with a good ref, commission behind him and push from the media ppv company, it is effective.

Nothing new for Canelo, remember the Josesito Lopez fight? (SMH)

That's why I don't want a great fighter like GGG waiting around for Canelo fighting weak opponents. Canelo, even with his orange head, is no carrot to chase. He's a fraud. GGG should not waste these years looking at the Chavez/Canelo types. GGG should be going for other real elite fighters.
