Better boxer Terence Crawford or Amir Khan?

LOL. Bullying khan seems to be this site's prime hobby. I, like many others, loved Crawford's performance against Preiscot, and I for one value potential very highly. So yes, he might have a chance against Khan, but why are we even speaking about this? Surely when one fighter is still is so green in facing A level competition, it is wise to keep him out of the conversation till he notches up a few more victories, no? I voted "too close to call" as I'm not sure who the victor would be. I like Khan, thought he won against Peterson, was beaten by Danny, then wanted one easy fight with Molina, and I understand that, and he went on to demolish him. But with his second picking of an easy fight with Diaz( let alone the performance), he let me down. So I have to keep my mouth shut till I see him in there with an A level fighter again. Now had he fought someone more well known in his last fight, and pulled out the W, I would back him up fully against Crawford.

Khan until proven otherwise

With that being said, I actually think if Crawford gained a little more experience at the higher level and passed tests against the elite at either '35 or '40--as long as pitches a no-hitter, he could probably score a UD/SD against Matthysse.

Man looking at you're sig Matthysse is a little lucky Zab didn't sit down more on that uppercut that was perfectly timed punch. Makes me shake my head on what a waste of talent Zab has been. He could have been one of the greatest of all time with some more discipline and focus. Thing about it is that that uppercut would drop, let alone rock any other '40-pounder. If anything, Judah gave everybody the gameplan on how to fight Matthysse if you can't hurt him; keep it in the center and do your best not to get touched.

Crawford fights with PRO style Amir fights with AMATEUR style Very simple for people who actually know what they are watching Just because a guy flings his arms as fast as he can does not make him technical or a good boxer. Crawford showed he is more versatile than Khan in just this one match alone. Showing genuine fighting skills and not simple repetitive combos on rinse and repeat, plus, taking punches without crumbling helps in the Pros This is what I thought when I saw Crawford fighting, he seems like the better boxer to me.

obviously because of his less then stellar chin khan def seems to push the envelope between boxing and running hes always seemed very frantic in there to me which i think contributes to his chinneynessismshm lol they always say the more relaxed the better your body absorbs punishment then crawford is very infront of ya more on movements then just skiddish feet peddlen away and hopen to me crawfords very sweet pea-esk

Maybe you're right but that was still the perfect shot. Zab... one of those could've guys. Its a shame really. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Boxing No Bodies is Easy... Khan by a good country Mile... Simply because of better opposition. Meanwhile, Crawford schools the guy that starched Khan in under a minute.

Better boxer and not who would win? T-Crawford and I don't think it's close.

Crawford and I like his style of boxing over Khan's

I disagree with everything you said except Khan being faster. It's easy to look good against the bums Crawford has been fighting. As I said, we'll only know how good Crawford is when he steps in the ring with somebody worth a damn. It's easy to look good against a shot, unmotivated Prescott. Dude Prescott has been the same fighter since laying Khan out..He has not change a lick..

It's Crawford and it's not close..

Crawford is the better boxer. Khan is a good boxer but gets hit clean to much with shots. He needs to learn how to take the left hook from his opponents away from them.

I say Crawford because Khan cant stand in front of a guy and slip punches like Crawford.

Crawford, Steve wonder can even tell you that.

The question was "Better boxer Terence Crawford or Amir Khan?" not who has a better resume. Crawford has better footwork,upper body and head movement, better technique higher ring IQ . He also sees his opponents punches better and has a far better defense. Khan has much faster hand speed .Crawford has a more professional style. Technique wise Crawford is better,Khan's talent is his speed and in this area his is way ahead of Crawford. I disagree with everything you said except Khan being faster.
