If Khan beats Crawford....

If Khan beats Crawford then rightfully Crawford will plummet in the p4p rankings. I'll be impressed with Khan if it happens.

so answer my question then. who has crawford beat that you guys rank him 1 or 2 p4p? and what he does or how he goes about doing it means nothing if the opponents he does it on are bums. can he do that against thurman? garcia? porter? I'll say it again, to judge a boxer solely on who he beaten is at best inadequate and in some cases useless. There is a lot more to it than that which is just as well because otherwise boxing would not be the sweet science that it is.

that will just prove how overrated Crawford is.

The problem will occur when Crawford hits Khan. If Khan had the punch resistance he did vs. Maidana he could possibly get the victory. But I really don't see it happening. I give Khan 0 percent chance of winning and I love the guy.

Do any of you guys think Khan could be an ATG if he actually had a chin? Nah not ATG, HOF yeah. Khan's defence lets him down, he'd still lose rounds to elite fighters. They wouldn't have matched Canelo against him if they didn't know he'd get knocked out. So that's one loss gone. He may have still got stopped early be Prescott, but wouldn't have lost to Danny Garcia for most of the belts at 140, undefeated at the weight. Khan beat PEDerson before that. He could even still be undefeated, avoided by most of the big names. oh wait... Bradley couldn't have ducked Khan any harder, anyway. Mayweather couldn't read the "poll" results, nor Pac. With a good chin it would have been even harder for him to get a title shot at 147. Edit - he has ATG hand-speed, though.

Khan was out on his feet a few times with Maidana, I will be rooting for Khan too but he doesn’t stick to the plan! His head and heart confuse him. He thinks he has a chin of iron! I don't think he has any delusions about his chin when he's been stopped 3 times - must be very humbling for a 'King'. Khan undeniably has a lot of heart and he thinks that can get him through those moments when he gets hurt.

Granted he got KOd early in his career, but he wouldn't have got past Maidana late in that fight if his whiskers were really bad. I doubt he can stick to his gameplan all night against Crawford, but if he gets through that fight with a points decision - wow! Legacy fight, for sure. Correct decision to take this fight over Brook, I would have lost respect for him if he didn't take this fight - talking about coming back after Canelo loss to look for big legacy fights, well he got his chance and looks like he's accepted it. Would love to see Khan pull off the upset, but the reality is Crawford is too nice for Khan. Might put £10 on a draw.

His punch resistance has always been really bad. Depends if he can stick to a game plan for the entire fight, or if his ego takes over as usual!

I think Khan will outbox for a couple of rounds, before Crawford eventually times for a KO. It's just a matter of when he gets that KO. Since it took Canelo 6 rounds before KO, it should take Crawford about 7-8 rounds before KO. Canelo was rather passive early on though, probably cause he knew he had the power. I expect Crawford to be more aggressive in the earlier rounds

What makes you think crawford has any power at all lol. Khan's punches are all straight, all fast, coming off movement. Khan is a stylistic nightmare for crawford. If khan has anything left, crawford doesn't have the tools to beat him. Khan outboxed canelo freaking alvarez, and you think he has a low i.q lol? Khan's only weakness is his chin, and if maidana couldn't put him away, crawford sure as hell can't do it. I think the only reason Khan did decent against Canelo for a little while is because Canelo did not give a flying fu#k. Canelo knew the fight was a joke the second it was signed and knew he would get a KO. Canelo wasn’t even thinking about boxing. He only thought about the KO. That’s why he was swinging wild the entire fight because he knew Khan was absolutely no threat at all. It’s not so much Khan outboxing Canelo as it is Canelo letting Khan outbox Canelo.

Since it took Canelo 6 rounds before KO, it should take Crawford about 7-8 rounds before KO. Someone tell Khan he has a glass chin and to stay out of range for the majority of the fight!!!!!

I think timing will be key. Khan has more hand speed but I fully expect Crawford to adjust and start timing him, which will lead to a stoppage victory I think Khan will outbox for a couple of rounds, before Crawford eventually times for a KO.

If Khan beats Crawford, ESPN would have a grudge against Bob Arum as they would lose subscribers. An animal Crawford can’t lost to a Pakistani... given how nationalist American supporters been for Trump, Crawford can’t lose to a fighter who’s associated to the Islamic narratives I don't think that matters much in combat sports, in this day and age. Muslim fighters like Ali and Tyson are respected legends. And in MMA, Khabib is one of its biggest stars. If anything, Khabib kind of stole Khan's thunder, since he's no longer the biggest contemporary Muslim star in combat sports... which might be why Khan was rooting for McGregor.

Seems like this fight will happen. Huge IF, but let’s say he avoids any shot to his chin, keeps the range, peppers Crawford all night.... gets a UD.... Would Khan be back in the top 10 P4P list? I think timing will be key. Khan has more hand speed but I fully expect Crawford to adjust and start timing him, which will lead to a stoppage victory

No chance. Let's be honest, his best days and wins were around 2010-2011. That's a LONG time ago in boxing. All he has is speed and if guys like Garcia, Peterson etc. can pretty much find a way to cope with the speed, Crawford surely will. Even guys like Algieri and Diaz weren't that troubled by it. That's why i used to laugh when people thought he might have a chance against Floyd due to his fast hands, when far lesser fighters dealt with him

It's interesting even after Stevenson he is risking this. But maybe he thinks that he survived a hard shot from Canelo, so Crawford can't hit that hard?

I think a prime Khan beats Bud unless he gets clipped obviously this version of Khan is past it but I still give him a small chance it's not as one sided as people want to make it seem

If Khan had a solid chin, he'd still have the same record because he truly is a dumb fighter It must link to his general IQ. Guy is scary dumb.
