    Bruh there is no ? way Khan thinks he can win this fight. It's just a money fight, period. Like ? said, Khan about to die then come back and try to fight Brook lol If Khan had anything of a chin, I'd give him a chance but Canelo is going to put paws on this ? man. Smh

    I think Khan might be this delusional.

    I'm not even sure if its about the money anymore he just wants to be so ? famous for whatever reason.

    Oscar faxed over that contract quick as ? .lmao

    Hate to bring up Mayweather .... yall do it all the time but..He thinks he can outbox Canelo because Mayweather did i mean there is no logical reason to even have ever thought this fight would b a possibility.. But wtf is his reasoning.

    maybe hes counting on the fact that he has similar height and reach and like his more recent fights he can jab and move enough on the flat footed alvarez to a points victory.
    his margin of error is small but lets not pretend that weak chin ? followed him up to 147. his chin isnt great but hes not weight draining anymore like 140.
    alvarez isn't exactly blowing people away with his moving forward offense. hes a counter puncher who is flat footed and slower (but pretty damn powerful)
    props to khan for challenging himself and making anyone who said he was scared of brook look like an idiot. this fight is bigger and tougher than a brook fight

    He will have to hold and use his bike.

    Canelo isn't the type to walk you down and punish you. He will still box and time Amir

    Tougher, yeah. Bigger? No. Khan vs Brook in the UK makes way more money than Khan vs Canelo in the US.

    And just because Khan fights Canelo doesn't mean he isn't scared of Brook. Your logic is all wrong bruh. You just listed perceived weaknessess Khan feels he can exploit in Canelo. Khan can't exploit ? with Brook which is why he been ducking for years.

    Khan chose the next biggest payday since he couldn't get Floyd or Manny. He feels since Canelo is bigger if he loses no one will care (hell his 3 other losses get swept under the rug) and he can run and fight brook later. Smh

    Even Paulie knows khan ? up

    So I definitely got some thoughts on this ‪#‎CaneloKhan‬ fight. I'll get more into it on the ‪#‎FromBrooklynToTheWorld‬ podcast today with Pete ... But off the top of my head 1) Gotta make Canelo a big favorite here. Khan is gonna need that jab and hand speed to be as in point as ever, but I can't get over the size difference here. 2) khan's gotta get a ton of credit for taking this fight. He's got ? , gotta say that. 3) I just am very curious about the choice by Khan given the frame of his career. Personally, I'd rather watch him fight Kell Brook or rematch Danny Garcia at 157 next, but it is what it is, and I'll definitely watch it. Boxing lives for events like this.

    Let's not get carried away. Algieri gave him a good fight but khan was never in any real danger

    I really think this means maybe he's not scared of Brook. Canelo is better than Brook and he's bigger. Not gonna be much of a fight I don't think but I'm excited to see it

    You really looking at Brook vs Khan all wrong. As a man Khan probably isn't afraid of Brook. Khan avoiding Brook is a ? up business decision. Khan knows Brook is a tough fight. If Khan lost to Brook he loses his British fan base to Brook and nobody in America really thinks all that highly of Khan. So what would Khan have if he lost to Brook before getting a big money fight? If Khan fought Brook and lost this fight right here vs Canelo would never even be an option. Nobody will care about Khan losing to Canelo. Even with the loss to Canelo people will still want to see him fight Brook.

    Fact is Khan still ducked Brook and his fear was based on the possibility of losing money not 100% fear of Brook as a man.

    I know it was risk vs reward and brook really was a threat to beating him. but the ? was people in here all of the sudden started changing their perspectives on khan because he was making a business decision.
    what was good for the goose wasn't good for the gander if you will.
    khan was always holding off fighting brook for better fighters than brook
    he wanted floyd, manny cotto and got alvarez.
    brook is better than none of those guys.
    it can't be truly ducking when you are avoiding a fighter for tougher competition.

    that doesn't make any sense.
    every fighter has a plan and believes they can exploit a weakness in their opponent.
    your logic is flawed for saying he fears brook by going to fight a better bigger and tougher fighter.
    those two narratives contradict each other.
    khan and brook in the UK is unknown. fighting alvarez the top mexican draw on the mexican holiday weekend is known to be a big ppv day.
