Crawford: For Floyd, Khan is Tougher Fight Than Pacquiao
By Edward Chaykovsky
Styles makes fights. WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford, who is currently in camp for his November 29th defense against Raymundo Beltran, believes Amir Khan will present a tougher challenge than Manny Pacquiao for Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Most fans would like to see Mayweather and Pacquiao face each other in a welterweight unification in 2015. Pacquiao will defend his WBO title against Chris Algieri on November 22 in Macau, China.
Mayweather wants to return in May of next year. If Amir Khan defeats Devon Alexander next month in Las Vegas, he will become the most likely candidate for Mayweather's next fight.
Crawford has no problem with Mayweather facing Khan in May, because he feels the British star will present more problems in the contest than Pacquiao.
"I would really like to see Floyd fight Amir Khan or Pacquiao, just so he could solidify his greatness and shut a lot of people up that doubt him. I think the Amir Khan fight would be a tougher fight for him than Pacquiao being that the size that Amir Khan brings to the table and the height and the speed. I think Floyd can manage to outthink both of them," Crawford told On The Ropes Boxing Radio .
