By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin thinks that people are underestimating the speed that Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) has going for him in his fight against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on May 7. Khan, 29, has been pretty much written off by a lot of boxing fans.
”People underestimate Khan’s speed #Canelo vs Khan #Canelo,” Golovkin said on his Twitter.
Golovkin is wise to see Khan as being overlooked in this fight because he’s got much better hand speed and mobility than Canelo can ever hope to have. Khan is so much faster than Canelo, and that’s going to help him a lot in this fight.
