By Dan Ambrose: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) is totally confident that he’ll send the younger 25-year-old Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) down to his second career defeat on May 7 in their fight on HBO PPV. Khan says he’s not going to let a younger, smaller fighter like Canelo beat him. What Khan isn’t sure about is whether he should keep the WBC middleweight title he wins off Golden Boy Promotion’s flagship fighter Canelo or not.
If Khan chooses to keep the WBC strap, it’s going to come with a great responsibility because he’ll need to defend the belt against the WBC #1 mandatory challenger Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) in his very next fight. Khan says he’s not sure whether he’ll do that or not. He wants to beat Canelo, and then make a decision with his team based on how he performed in the fight against Canelo.
By Dan Ambrose: Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport thinks Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) is going to taste defeat against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in their fight on May 7. 
By Jeff Aranow: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) has big plans for the next 12 months of his boxing career. He wants to try and lure Floyd Mayweather Jr. out of retirement if he beats the highly popular WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on May 7 in their fight on HBO PPV. 
By Chris Williams: It looks like IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is going to need to swallow his pride and agree to some kind of catch-weight if he wants to fight WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in September for the WBC title. 
By Scott Gilfoid: For all the back and forth talk that has gone on between Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) and IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (35-0, 24 KOs) over the years, you would think that Brook would want Khan to lose his fight against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) on May 7. 
By Dan Ambrose: Bernard Hopkins believes that WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. three years ago left a bad taste in his mouth from that experience. Canelo doesn’t want to go through that feeling again in his next fight against Amir Khan, and he’s going to be wanting to get him out of there fast so that he doesn’t have that same experience for a second time. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions is stacking the undercard for the May 7 Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Amir Khan card on HBO pay-per-view. They were unable to get the heavyweight match-up between interim WBA champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov. The undercard is a mixed bag with the wrong guys fighting each other, and in the case of David Lemieux, he’s fight a junior middleweight rather than a middleweight in Glen Tapia. How do you have a PPV card on HBO where the first two fights involve fighters facing smaller guys in what appear to be mismatches? That just strikes me as wrong. Lemieux should have been put in with Curtis Stevens, and Canelo should be fighting at least a middleweight.
By Dan Ambrose: Super featherweight Rod Salka (21-3, 4 KOs), who is known for being the opponent for Danny Garcia in 2014 in a catch-weight, says that he sees WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs0 defeating Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) in their fight on May 7. 
By Dan Ambrose: Colombian knockout artist Breidis Prescott is predicting a sixth stoppage victory for WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (46-1-1, 32 KOs) in his fight against Amir “King” Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) on May 7. Prescott expects the 25-year-old Canelo to be too big and too strong for Khan to handle his power.
