Did I hear that right? They'll strip Canelo of his belt if he doesn't fight GGG?

I mean that is kind of what "mandatory" is supposed to mean

God I love that loving pro wrestling call out at the end of the fight. That was some actually good promotion for boxing.

Yeah, Khan is an arrogant dickhead a lot of the time but you absolutely cannot fault his willingness to fight tough opponents

This. I don't like him, especially after the first fight I saw he got a huge hometown hand against Diaz but he was willing to fight anyone and I respect that.

Yeah, would be nice to see boxing move away from MayPac type of bullshit. I do credit Khan for taking a real challenge, and it's nice to see that people are taking that away from this fight, lookin at comments.

I'm glad that Virgil Hunter put a punctuation mark on calling out Canelo. Basically said look at this guy Amir Khan who stepped up and fought the best, if you don't do it you're a little bitch. That's some realtalk, and it says a lot coming from Hunter who also trains Andre Ward, a boxer that a lot of people feel GGG is ducking. Canelo-Golovkin is the fight that everyone wants to see, it's not going to do Mayweather-Pacquiao numbers but I think it's the kind of match that could break 2 million buys if promoted right.

As for Khan I think he accomplished his mission of introducing himself to the public at large. It was a great performance even in a loss. There are big fights waiting for him at welterweight, and I think there are matches which could be promoted as PPV events (Khan vs Bradley, Khan vs Brook).

That was a murderous punch.

It's probably time for Khan to get that Kell Brook fight on while it still has luster.

How has he been arrogant so publicly, I don't like him from how he treats people on a night out in town. Apparently he has grown out of it now but he used to be a right dick head.

I would still love to see Khan/Bradley if they could put it together.
