Crawford has earned it, IMO. Khan is a ****ing truck.
Crawford or Khan? Who deserves the Pacquiao fight?

Khan has better overall wins...Top 5 JWW Maidana, #9 WW Alexander, Top 5 JWW Judah, Top 10 JWW Kotelnyk, Top 10 JWW Malignaggi. Non top 10 fighters Collazo and Algieri.
Crawford has Gamboa, Beltran, Burns, Dulorme, Prescott(lol who KO'ed Khan), and Klimov who is really no joke, not a great fighter but he is pretty good, stylistically difficult. Crawford's best wins are at 135. He just has Dulorme and Jean at 140.
On the other hand Khan has been knocked down like 9 or 10 times in his career. So there is definitely more vulnerablitiy in Khan than in Crawford.Comment

Anyone who thinks Khan was actually in the running for a Pacquaio fight is a fool! Bob Arum had Crawford penciled in as Pacquaio's next opponent even before the Mayweather fight. The only way Crawford would not become Pacquaio's next opponent is if Crawford had been knocked out earlier tonight. Even if Crawford had lost to Dierry Jean (with the exception of a knockout), he would have fought Pacquaio next.
How do I know this? Simple!. Eric Morales lost to Zahir Raheem and still became Pacquaio's next opponent. Brandon Rios lost to Mike Alvarado and still became Pacquaio's next opponent. Arum told Antonio Margarito that Margarito would be Pacquaio's next opponent at the same time Arum was in the midst of the fake second negotiation with the fake countdown clock with Floyd Mayweather for a Pacquaio fight. Who was Pacquaio's next opponent after the fake negotiation was exposed? Antonio Margarito! All these guys were penciled in as Pacquaio's next opponent before their losses and Arum stuck to his script. The only reason he didn't do that in the case of Provodnikov after Provodnikov lost to Chris Algieri is because Provodnikov was not one of Arum's fighters.
The fight between Crawford and Pacquaio was planned by Arum more than a year ago and the Mayweather fight simply delayed Arum's plan. Now, the fight will take place as scheduled.Last edited by big_james10; 10-25-2015, 12:09 AM.Comment
