    Crawford hasn't proved anything yet. Beating Prescott is a decent win but nothing spectacular. Especially as Kevin Mitchell achieved the same feat.

    If Crawford goes on to beat fighters on the same level as Kotelnik, Maidana, Judah, and Peterson, then we'll have something to speak about.
    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. 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.

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

            Boxing No Bodies is Easy...
            Khan by a good country Mile... Simply because of better opposition.

              Amir is way faster, his hands and feet. Crawford has skills no doubt, but the speed and dexterity makes Amir a better boxer. Could Crawford outbox skilled boxers such as Kotelnik or Malignaggi as easily as Amir did? Nope.

              Crawford has not been tested at all. But, Amir has never ever been outboxed, his whole professional career, and he has faced the best. Not even a close if you ask me.

                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.

                      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
