    Canelo has decided to vacate the WBC Middleweight Belt due to their insistence that he fight GGG before a certain deadline. Most read this as him (De La Hoya) wanting to have all the leverage in negotiations when they do meet, forcing GGG down to 155 and making the purse split more one sided. This is a historic moment in regards to ducking an opponent. We haven't seen a duck of this magnitude side Riddick Bowe held a press conference to throw his belt in the trash instead of fighting Lennox Lewis.

    Canelo never fought at 160lbs during his reign as middleweight champion. Nobody has since Kelly Pavlick in 2009. He also ended one of the strongest lineal titles in the sport that goes back over a decade: Hopkins-Taylor-Pavlik-Martinez-Cotto-Canelo.

    As interim champion, GGG will be the new WBC Middleweight Champion. He will probably fight Danny Jacobs next as per statements he made after the Khan fight. The last belt he needs to unify the division is held by Billy Joe Saunders. These will be the best fights on his resume as of yet.

    Doubtful anybody cares, but the 2012 Light Heavyweight Gold Medalist is taking on the WBC Cruiserweight Champion in the next hour. Glowacki recently dethroned longstanding champ Marco Huck in a FOTY candidate from 2015. Usyk is one of the brightest prospects in the sport and could surpass Holyfield as having the fewest fights (9) to the WBC Cruiserweight title. He also has a 100% KO rating going for him (not rare early in your career).

    You can get a free trial on www.klowdtv.com and catch it. Should be way more interesting than watching Canelo crush a can.

    I think you are absolutely right.

    BUT that comes from this generation. This idea that you can only be a great fighter or the best fighter if you are seen as untouchable.

    I would rather see someone like Duran or Chavez, De La Hoya... Gotti, Ward.... those fighters that were just down to fight and mix it up...

    I don't care if you are undefeated or whatever... who did you fight!!!

    I think something people lose sight of in boxing is that it's okay to lose. Taking a loss against a very tough opponent (Amir vs Canelo) is better than winning against a very easy one (Floyd vs Berto).

    Canelo is a p----.

    embarrasing for De La Hoya & Canelo. Canelo cannot be considered P4P #1.

    Canelo gonna use this as a warm up before he gets the balls to deal with GGG.

    I'm a hugh boxing fan, and I think that it will be a one sided fight. If Khan can avoid losing some of the early rounds and does not have to play catch up... he might have a bit of a chance.

    But let's say that Canelo is up 4-2 or 5-1 in the first half of the fight... Khan is gonna have to take more risks and Canelo is gonna catch him. He is a great counter puncher and can end it all with one punch.

    Khan has been good as of late, but I don't see it continuing after this fight.

    Khan got no chance Mike. Canelo will rehydrate to 171 pounds be way too big & strong. KO inside 6 rounds for Canelo. Khan has one the worst chins in boxing too lol.
