        I think it will be Crawford. Arum promotes him so he will be trying to talk Pacquiao into choosing him over Khan. Khan has an extremely high opinion of himself and his worth. Khan might price himself out. Crawford won't price himself out. I think Pacquiao will leave boxing with a KO win over Crawford, Khan or Danny Garcia. Garcia might go the distance because of his great chin but he will lose.

            Let's hope so.

            Khan hasn't done anything in years to deserve a fight with Pacquiao.

              Rios/Clottey coming off a loss, Mosley loss and draw, Margarito loss and a 10 rounder & Bradley coming off Casamayor certainly did.

                That's a way to simplify things out of proportion.

                Rios was coming off a FOTY candidate and Manny was coming off a devastating KO loss. Clottey was coming off what should have been a win against Cotto, a previous Pacquiao victim and top fighter.

                Mosley had just fought Mayweather and that was when the fight needed to be compared.

                Bradley was unified LWW champion and undefeated.

                Khan has done... what lately? Hasn't fought or beaten anyone of note and hasn't looked spectacular or exciting recently.

                So yeah, Terence Crawford, undefeated and headlining on HBO, two weight world champion and considered a top P4P fighter in the world.

                Clearly he's the better choice.

                Maybe if Khan had fought a champion like Kell Brook he would have deserved it. But right now, he just doesn't.

                  I doubt I'd watch Pacquiao Vs Crawford, Pacquiao Vs Kahn IS the right final fight to end your career on If you're wanting it to be a hard fight, plus its a big FU to Floyd because If Pacman fights Kahn and beats him it just makes Floyd look even more pathetic.

                    Bradley hadn't done anything in over a year, Mosley was coming off a draw against Sergio Mora for goodness sake. Clottey and Rios were still coming off a loss, close or not. With that in mind, Alexander and Algieri are more than enough. You didn't mention Margarito?

                    Also where is the crowd that demanded Khan fight and prove himself at Welter first?

                    Anyways, Crawford can get it, which its dead obvious he will, I prefer DSG rematch with the WBC belt on the line anyways.

                      And Khan hasn't done anything in 3,5 years? Mora was a decent fighter once, much better than Algieri who could have been, and many feel it should, a draw too. It's pointless comparing Bradley to Khan right now as Bradley is on another level entirely.

                      Alexander and Algieri wasn't enough. Sure Khan looked good against Alexander, but Alexander isn't a world class fighter and neither is Algieri for that matter, especially not at welterweight. Mosley was an established fighter on the world scene who through his career had dominated several divisions and beat Oscar dela Hoya, fought Mayweather, Cotto, Vargas, Margarito etc. Going through a resume like that you deserve big fights. Despite drawing with Mora his stock would always be higher than Khan's ever was or will be. Simple as that.

                      I think DSG vs Khan is a good fight also. But I can't see Khan taking it. Why take that fight for half the money of a Brook fight? Doesn't make sense to me.

                      But it would be a good fight, and Khan could win it.
