Khan has been holding out for big money fights for the better part of two years now. He missed out on Mayweather fights three times and Pacquiao fights twice. This time he moves up in weight to challenge Canelo Alvare. For the title at a 155lb catch weight.
Amir Khan was once KO’d by Danny Garcia at 140lbs, it’s scary to think of what Canelo can do to him at 155lbs.
