By Dan Ambrose: Last Saturday night, WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Amir Khan met with HBO’s Max Kellerman in his Face Off special to hype their May 7 fight on HBO pay-per-view from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Canelo brought his manager Eddy Reynoso, and Khan had his trainer Virgil Hunter with him.
What was interesting about the special was how Canelo denied rehydrating to 180lbs for any of his fights in the past. Canelo also said that he’s come in at 170 at times in the past for some of his fights, but that’s it.
By Dan Ambrose: Boxing fans can get a preview of the May 7 clash between WBC middleweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan tonight on HBO starting at 11:15 p.m. ET/PT.

By Dan Ambrose: Amir Khan is expecting to beat the 25-year-old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on May 7, take his WBC middleweight title, and then move forward with the win to much bigger fights in the near future. 
By Yannis Mihanos: As the fight is getting closer it appears that Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) is trying hard to close the gap in size and weight for his May 7 fight against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: Despite WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and his trainer insisting that Canelo still needs to fight at 155lbs for his fights at middleweight, IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin thinks it makes no sense for the 25-year-old Canelo needing catch-weights for his fights in the middleweight division. 
By Maxwell Baer: When boxing fans talk about what they want to see, I believe it’s safe to say the most common phrase uttered is “I just want to see the best fight the best”. Around the world, boxing matches occur every day. However, all but the most dedicated of fans can only follow a few dozen fighters at most. Many fans only start following a fighter once he nears or even enters the “contender” phase of his career. As fans, we are eager to see if this promising young fighter will become one of the best and eventually get to prove that he is, in fact, “The Best”.
By Brandon Bernica: In boxing, we laud fighters who dare to be great. We relish moments such as when Manny Pacquiao – a former flyweight champion – traded shot-for-shot with the gargantuan and formidable 154-pounder Antonio Margarito. Or who could forget when Oscar De La Hoya leapt to middleweight to challenge titleholder Bernard Hopkins. Though De La Hoya fell victim to a whipping body shot that left him writhing on the ground, the mere idea of confronting a man with such a physical advantage gave fans a newfound respect for the Mexican-American. Even the legendary Roberto Duran lost to Marvin Hagler for the middleweight title, and yet we still hold his career in the figurative rafters of boxing history.
By Matt Plumridge: Amir “King” Khan 31-3-0 (19 early) has spoken of his strong belief that he will shock the world against Saul Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 early) in their eagerly anticipated Cinco De Mayo clash on May 7th.
By Dan Ambrose: Chepo Reynoso, the trainer for WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, isn’t too worried about the muscles Amir “King” Khan is putting on in training camp as he gets ready for their May 7 fight next month on HBO pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) and Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) recently weighed in for their 30-day weights, and surprisingly there was only a two-pound difference between the two fighters for their fight next month on HBO pay-per-view on May 7.
