    2002 Oscar @ 154 was miles ahead of Canelo at this point.

    Replace Cotto with 2002 Oscar vs Canelo, Oscar wins convincingly.

    I probably agree with that, but what can you base it on? Vargas was the only impressive win Oscar had at 154... Not saying he wasn't a better boxer than CAnelo(though even then you have to give it time), but he started his careeer at 130. I highly doubt alvarez could have made anything under welter since he was a teenager. He is naturally a bigger man.

    I like it.

    But I'd separate GGG from both Canelo and Ward. GGG has stayed at 160 unwaveringly. I'm sure he'd be willing to take on all comers at 160, regardless of pedigree. If Canelo wants to fight GGG, let him go up to 160, which is after more his natural weight. Canelo, by fighting Khan, confirms what we've always known (ie: Josesito Lopez, et al). That he thrives on beating up on much smaller men. Ward's not nearby busy enough to pin down. He needs to up his activity to at least once a year before we can get a good fix on him.

    Khan's speed is his only shot. He will need to run and box all night. He is just as small as josesito Lopez but doesn't possess the same beard. Canelo tore Lopez apart.

    Red headed fuck is being a bully yet again and picking on a little guy. A greedy mouthy lil guy who will do anything for a big money fight lol

    Khan also has really good foot work the only problem Khan has is he has no head movement and he likes to stay in the pocket too long and likes to trade. If he can stick to boxing it's a very easy nights work for Khan am surprised how every one thinks Canelo is going to kill him. Canelo has very slow foot speed and his hand speed is average at best I think Canelo is going to struggle to land clean and might have to count on the judges giving him yet another gift decision

    I think this speaks volumes more than biased ol' TitoFan could say:

    Junior is saying what we all think.

    GGG has to sound diplomatic and happy even if it is killing him inside.

    I read "Julio Cesar Chavez Jr believes he's embarrassing the middleweight division"....and decided to agree with the entire write up.

    Khan is dillusional but he may need that arrogance and single bloody mindiness to pull this off.

    Amir Khan sees himself as being on the verge of replacing Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao as the top fighter in the sport of boxing. Khan says that someone has to replace Mayweather and Pacquiao as the top, and he believes it’ll be him that takes over once he beats WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in their fight on May 7 on HBO PPV.

    Khan isn’t worried about all about fighting at the 155lb catch-weight for the fight, because he plans on bulking up by training hard rather than eating his way to 155. Khan says he’s going to bulk up and then hand Canelo another loss on his resume.

    I hate to break this to Khan, but someone already has taken over for Mayweather and Pacquiao as the sport’s biggest star. That person is the 25-year-old Canelo. I don’t think Khan is going to be able to nudge Canelo aside to take over the stop spot.

    Even if Khan beats Canelo, I still see him as the number box office and PPV attraction in the United States. Canelo is backed by a huge and growing fan base in the U.S. Those fans will continue to follow Canelo’s fights no matter what. Canelo is more of a celebrity with his fans than an athlete. He doesn’t need to win on order to keep his fans and continue to pick up new fans. Canelo isn’t like Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., who won his fans by fighting frequently and winning. Canelo is more of a movie star type of celebrity, and he can afford to absorb losses without losing fans.

    “Someone has to take that spot and once I beat Canelo Alvarez I will be the top guy in the world boxing,” Khan said to Ringtv.com. “This is my time and this my year. I’m in my prime in my career, I’m at my peak, at my best, mentally and physically. This is my time to shock the world.”

    Khan will need to prove that he can beat Canelo a second time if he defeats him. There’s a rematch clause in the contract, so Khan won’t be able to just move on and do what he pleases if he wins. He’ll need to prove that he can beat Canelo again. That might prove to be impossible because Canelo will make adjustments in the rematch and will be highly motivated.

    If Khan beats Canelo on May 7, he’ll pick up a lot of new fans in America and will be on his way to becoming a Gennady Golovkin type of attraction. However, Khan will still have a long, long ways to go before he can become the No.1 star in the sport. That would take years, and it would require that Khan fight on a more frequent basis than he’s been doing in the last couple of years.

    Khan would also need to face better opposition than he’s been fighting in the last four years. Khan can’t become the No.1 star if he’s going to be wasting his career fighting guys like Luis Collazo, Chris Algieri, Julio Diaz, Carlos Molina and Devon Alexander. Khan will need to start fighting guys like Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman and Tim Bradley.

    Stop posting shit articles that say absolutely nothing from that rubbish site. Do you guys even read them? They are so agenda driven it's ridiculous.

    There's one quote from Khan - "I'll be the top guy in boxing when I beat Canelo." The rest of the article is arguing "no you won't, you're a shit cunt." It's like the thickest worst of the worst posters on here write them.

    Chavez Jr. thinks fighting lighter fighters is an embarrassment.... but using diuretics to get down and the bloating 25 lbs overnight is ok as long as they're in your division. Hello pot, meet kettle....

    Sounds like geographical rivalry. Maybe Jr's mad that Khan wont be able to box circles around Canelo and blank him on the scoreboard before slugging it out with him on a torn acl for half a round like Martinez did to Jr.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
