Super excited about this fight. Might have to head to a casino in London for this.

Big, big risk for Khan. Can he do it?

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I wanted Khan vs Mayweather or Brook for obvious reasons but yes he will win. Big fan of Khan and just want him to crush it all. Buzzing for this!

Going to be tough, Canelo is young and he's also fought Mayweather at 23 years old.

Tough make for Khan but I hope he wins it. I know a lot of people don't like him because he's brash, but I'm rooting for him. First time I've been excited for a boxing match in a long time.

I think Khan is headed for a tough night. Suspect chin and up against a naturally much bigger guy. Khan a worrior though. Canelo by knockout.

Khan is my hero so always championing him and just want to see him crush.

Also want him to fight mayweather one day

If he finds a way to win then Mayweather will come out of retirement for that fight.

This is a crazy fight for Khan. Canelo is one of my favourite fighters (I love Mexican boxers). Khan can definitely win this if he uses his speed to get in and out. It will only take one of Alvarez punches for lights out tho!

Reigniting this thread since it's only a few weeks away. So excited. Khan has so many haters, mostly in the UK for some reason. British people complain when our boxers take cherry picked fights and fight for the smaller titles. Here's one of Britain's best taking a huge risk to fight one of the best in the world. Why can't everyone get behind him. Come on Khan!

I remember him being a little bit cocky and thinking he was the best, but to be a boxer and win belts you have to think like that. There's a lot of love/hate around the UK, I remember people saying he was done after his first KO loss, but it looked like he didn't train correctly and anyone can get rocked without adequate training.

This fight is the most pumped I've been for a boxing match since Pac vs Floyd.

It's odd because Khan's big domestic rival is Kell Brook who has always been far more cocky and used a lot of smack talk to try and get the Khan fight going, and yet he gets nothing near the abuse Khan does.

"This fight is the most pumped I've been for a boxing match since Pac vs Floyd." Couldn't agree more!

Gorilla Productions on YouTube make the best promo videos for big fights! They can make a shit fight look good. Its got me excited for this one anyway

Still Khan all the way for me! Anyone put any bets on for this?

I'm thinking of putting Khan on points and picking a couple of rounds for a Canelo KO

You don't think Khan has a KO in him?

Not agains't Canelo. The man is a beast and been in the ring with the best and never been close to being KO'd. I can't see Khan going for a KO either. I'd imagine he will try and pick him apart. Saying that, Khan looks pretty big in his recent pics, I just hope it doesn't slow him down as speed is his best chance.

I put on Khan points and Canelo round 7 (I always ask my gf to pick a number between 0 and 13 and thats the round I put on).

I will go absolutely mental with excitement if at any point it looks like Khan might stop Canelo. But I agree with Barra his best shot is to pick him apart. Stay on the outside, let Canelo try to walk him down, keep the combos short and sharp and don't get into a brawl. But, remember when he dropped Maidana with a body shot? Would be great to see that again!

Khan has got little chance of stopping him. He hasn't got the power at that weight division. He is older, smaller, weaker, less fights behind him, with worse chin, more knockdowns, more losses up against a man who has only ever lost to the best (and most douchebaggery) pound for pound boxer I've ever seen.

But I still will be cheering for him. Boxing is amazing, he might still win! Speed will be his friend. If it goes to a war he's toast.

So hyped for this. I'll be watching from either Empire or Hippodrome casino London.

My mate has invited me round to his. I've not broke this to the misses yet, I think the fact that it starts at 4am is going to be hard to explain

Don't care enough to stay up for Khan, but get in there Crolla that was a masterclass in soaking up pressure and then smashing the punched out opponent.
