Come fight night I think it will be 6 years and only 1 KO for Khan in that time

Khan has the speed but not the power to bother Canelo. Canelo will walk right through Khan punches and punish his body before finishing him off between rounds 7-12.

Source on that?

Alexander fight was impressive, but Algieri fight was equally unimpressive and more recent. Algieri landed ~150 power shots on Khan and ~200 total shots.

Algieri actually pursued Khan as the aggressor though, unlike Alexander.

I think Lara is a good strategy for Khan to emulate. Lara basically fought Canelo to a draw. But Khan is usually easier to hit, whereas Lara fights a true Rigo type style of constantly moving and avoiding good opponents.

Feel like Khan is just going to stay too weak and get run down, or engage too much and get caught. Hard to strike a balance against someone as talented as Canelo, even if Canelo is worse at cutting the ring off compared to trading shots or counter punching.

Yeh for sure, khans movement isnt like Lara at all.

Khan is literally going to run throughout the whole fight and STILL get knocked out.

Thanks lovehate. Wow @ Khan, he's been gaining a lot of weight these last few years (10-15lbs it seems).

He needs to go back to his, er, special training with Alex Ariza to regain some power.

Joshua in talks with Martin for April HW title in London.... OK, now that would work for us fans.

Will Frampton v Quigg get much attention in America?

not really but it is on one of the showtime channels live and then being replayed at prime time which doesn't happen that much. i am excited for it anyway. frampton is way way way bigger over there tho

but honestly there are only <10 fighters that get much attention in america anyway and that might be a stretch

How good do we think Martin is? I've not seen enough of him to comment but I guess Joshua's alternatives for April could in theory be tougher fights?

Just looking at Martin's record I see that last year it took him 10 rounds to get rid of Raphael Zumbano Love. I was at the Joshua v Zumbano Love fight in Birmingham last year and it was over in 2. Amazed it's took Martin that long to stop him, he was terrible.

Don't think Martin stands much of a chance against Joshua.

However, I think Joshua came out of his last fight a smarter fighter than he used to be. Scary that we're gonna see a better AJ in 2016 than we did in 2015.

GGG vs Dominic "Lights Out" Wade

Wade is unbeaten but has only fought one viable contender (Sam Soliman) and just barely beat him. As a matter of fact, 4 of his last 5 opponents (including Soliman) have more than 10 losses to their name.

GGG carries him for 6 rounds before KOing him.

Kevin Mitchell has retired. Good game sir, probably a wise decision after his last fight.

Mitchell had a bout scheduled for March as well in Finland.

Sounds like David Haye's next opponent is Shannon Briggs.

Let's go Champ..!!

I think Martin is a good fighter and better than anyone Joshua was considering fighting in April. The belt obviously is the real draw here, but if Martin figured to be as good as the other beltholders in the division, I don't think you'd see this fight going into negotiations for April.

I think they have hesitated so far not because they dont think they can beat Martin but more about the level of competition he would have to defend against if he did win.

rafael said mattyhse is likely to fight on the khan/canelo undercard

i have always been a bit of a doubter with him but he is still a great fighter to watch. if he can get a good opponent (and he said he is moving up to 147 so there should be tons) i might actually buy the card instead of using nefarious means

Regarding the supposed Mattyhse opponent on the Khanelo undercard I think I read somewhere it will be Herrerra. Solid fight if so

They said when Martin took the title that he had a year before he had to fulfill a mandatory, so Joshua would have some real time to take 1-2 voluntaries before he had to defend.

Teper and Takam are ahead of Parker right now on IBF's rankings, but the top three slots are vacant, so a lot can happen there.

Otherwise, not a ton of huge risk. Fury and Wilder hold other belts, so can never be mandatories for the IBF. Oritz is the other dangerous fighter (along with Wlad), and neither is ranked top 15 by IBF.

Pablo Cesar Cano last I read - http://www.boxingscene.com/lucas-mat...-talks--101242

I can't recall Cano, but unless he's a nice boxer/mover, this looks like a tuneup showcase fight for Lucas to get back into a big match while moving up to 147.

Since GB is doing business with Top Rank again, he'd be a good opponent for a number of Top Rank fighters.

Herrera is back to Provodnikov discussions I believe, which is a cool rematch.

I'm right there with you, he's fun to watch, but he was really exposed against Postol. Leading up to the Garcia fight, he looked almost unstoppable, but DG boxed a good match. I think the eye is what absolutely cost him that match.

man herrera would be great but pablo cesar cano i give zero ****s about i have seen him 3 too many times already. he is just some guy. give me JSK or some type of fun gatekeeper type if anything
