Khan: "Crawford is better than Canelo."

[asgarth]

It's not complicated.
Khan is relatively a lot faster since he is a welterweight with top hand and footspeed (terrible footwork though). Canelo didnt do size boxing at that time, wasnt super aggressive on the frontfoot. Of course Khan would be able to outspeed him early on if he keeps moving and fires combos from range (Khan has slightly longer reach according to boxrec).

Crawford is used to quicker hands than Canelo, a timing specialist and has longer reach than Khan. Of course, he was able to run Khan into counters quicker than Canelo could.

If you ever fought against someone with quicker feet and in this case quicker hands, who stays on the outside, its pretty difficult to win the early rounds. You have to rely on your skills to cut off the ring (to make him move and work and tire him out) and find body punches to slow him down enough to finally be able to trap him.

I can't believe someone was DUMB enough to say that... Didn't Crawford go 12 rounds with a 1 legged gimp???

Nelo vs Bud is fantasy fight fodder.
It involves too much fantasy for my tastes.

I was pissed off Nelo fought Con. WTF was in it for him ?

[MeanestNiceGuy]

Welp....he fought both of them...can anybody really dispute this?

Hell, even Kell can come out now and say who was the better fighter between Crawford and GGG. This may bother Khan because Canelo's more skilled than GGG but GGG has more power....I don't think Khan can handle the fact that Kell got stopped by a bigger punch than the guy that stopped Khan.

This may lead to Khan wanting to face Brook again on the strength of that alone. Such a bitter rivalry between two petty, British fighters, I tell ya. Two bitter rivals....til the end. Lol
