By Dan Ambrose: Underdog Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) says he’s been watching Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s past fights against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Erislandy Lara in order to get a blueprint to use to beat the 25-year-old Mexican fighter on May 7.
Khan says he’s spotted in those fights that Canelo struggled against the speed of Mayweather and Lara. Khan plans on using speed to get the better of Canelo, who he notes is a slower fighter with not too good foot speed. Still, the 29-year-old Khan will be a decided underdog in this fight on HBO PPV, and he’s going to need to use constant movement to keep from getting hammered into the canvas.
Canelo has shown remarkable punching power in his last couple of fights, and he seems to be gaining more punching power as he trains and gets older. Khan cannot afford to be hit by one of Canelo’s best power shots in this fight if he wants to have a chance of winning.
By Dan Ambrose: Juan Manuel Marquez is giving Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) no chance of beating the heavier and stronger Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in their fight on May 7 on HBO pay-per-view. 
By Scott Gilfoid: WBA “regular” welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) thinks that Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) took the easier option in facing WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) for his next fight on May 7 rather than agreeing to fight IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook 35-0, 24 KOs) for his title in the summer. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former world title challenger Lucas Matthysse (37-4, 34 Kos) will be moving up to the welterweight division for his next fight, and he’s being talked about fighting in the co-feature bout on the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez v. Amir Khan fight card on May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) thinks that he took the harder road by signing on to challenge WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) than if he were to have faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao for his next fight. 
By Chris Williams: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says HBO didn’t reject Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) as an opponent for Manny Pacquiao’s next and perhaps final fight of his career on April 9 on HBO PPV. Arum says he was told by them that WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley was a more difficult opponent for Pacquiao, and a fighter that would bring in more sales than Khan or Terence Crawford. 
By Francisco Gurrola: Recently in my last article titled “Canelo with edge over Cotto,” I clearly described the way the fight would play out; to my surprise, it was quite accurate. It is no science to have the ability to read a fighter for his accomplishments. Looking at what WBC Middleweight Champ Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has accomplished recently it is evident that the young Mexican fighter has earned a spot at the top of boxing today.
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) isn’t too sure whether he should keep going at middleweight if he defeats WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on May 7 in their catch-weight fight at 155lbs. If Khan defeats Canelo, he would be forced to defend his WBC middleweight title in his next fight against WBC mandatory challenger Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs). 
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.
