    how many of those khan won?
    What on ESPN & BWAA? lol

    Who cares about a network's subjective fighter of the year award. It's a joke just like their rigged polls.

    BWAA is another joke, they gave Mayweather fighter of the year in 2013 for beating C-level Guerrero and a weight-drained, green Canelo. There goes their credibility.

      gotcha.

      awards don't mean anything.

      how about rankings?

      crawford top 10 p4p. khan unranked.

        Well put! Stay down.
        I hope Crawford. As much as I would love to see Manny destroy Khan, I prefer to see Crawford.

            I for one have been "meh" about Khan vs Pac, although it'd be nice if Khan does get it, I've always preferred DSG rematch over Pac. So, based on that I'd say Crawford, not cuz I believe he deserves it more, but cuz I prefer other fights for King Khan.

            Also it always made sense to sacrifice Pacquiao to Crawford and use it as a springboard in order for them to launch their next superstar. Just keep that boy away from Postol.
            Crawford is an undefeated P4P ranked, 2 weight world champion.

            Khan was world champion like 3,5 years ago and was knocked out.

            The two are not the same. Khan deserved it more in 2012 than he does now.

              Rankings are subjective too, even the computer system is completely fallible.

              But Khan unranked? lol

              Khan WBC #1.

              Crawford isn't even at 147, do you seriously think it's fair on the guy to jump up a weight division to face Pacquiao in his first fight at a new weight?

              If he wants the Pacquiao fight, any serious trainer will make him take a tune up at 147 first otherwise you're doing your fighter no favors. Look what happened to Marquez when Floyd made him jump up from 135 to fight him at 147, he was like a zombie in there.

              Crawford would get completely annihilated by Pacquiao whereas Khan actually has a very good chance of beating him, and fairly easily at this point too.

                BWAA votes, Ring and ESPN rankings are SUBJECTIVE.

                WBC rankings are BOUGHT.

                khan has no chance with pacquiao. NONE.

                pacquiao toyed with algieri, while khan went life and death with algieri.

                algieri a light punching boxer, slugged and pressured khan and hurt him.

                  pacquiao would be ****** to not fight khan first. that is an easy win. a money fight. an actual all action fight that could make manny look good again. "look" prime again. its better for his bottom dollar.

                  taking on crawford means pain and punishment followed by a loss decision.

                  dont be ****** and do the pac v khan fight at wembley and it will be massive. have ricky bring the powder.

                      Now there's a more even match up and a good welcome to the division for Crawford - fight Algieri and if he can beat him then it's time to think about stepping it up to the next level to Pac and Floyd and then start reaching for the top of the division towards Khan.

                      Problem is, would Algieri actually beat Crawford and most probably KO him?

                      Let's find out, make it happen.
