Arum:Khan or Crawford for Pacquiao in April

[IronDanHamza]

Yeah just checked, 2 years and 4 months. Big deal.

He clearly doesn't, but I don't see a lot of difference between him and margarito other than Margarito's career resume crapping all over Khan's and him being a way more dangerous fighter.

But as I said, never even said Margarito deserved the fight. Just I think he deserved it more than Amir "I'll wait until my hero calls" Khan.

I think Crawford deserves the fight most, and he's also a better fighter than Khan.

Still over 2 years prior.

The fact is Khan is ranked, he's beaten good-decent fighters in the last year-two years and hasn't recently been destroyed.

Margarito is the opposite.

These are facts.

Like I said multiple times Khan doesn't deserve it but it won't be an absolute joke of a fight like that was.

[IronDanHamza]

Yes, but he said "a lot can happen in two years".

But he's still pulling up these names from more than half a decade ago, who even then weren't anything special aside from Maidana. Khan himself has taken minimum risk ever since fighting Garcia. At least Margarito fought Mosley.

So i'm just wondering where the logic is in that.

You say "atleast he fought Mosley" like it was considered a risk. It wasn't.

That was supposed to be an easy fight for Margarito against an ageing Mosley who almost lost to Mayorga in his fight prior.

Alexander was a solid win. Algieri actually made Khan less deserving because of that performance.

Margarito, despite losing the Mosley fight badly, had done well in the last couple of years. Obviously that fight would have made more sense before the Mosley fight.

But I can't say Khan deserves it more. He just hasn't done anything at WW that makes me want to see him on a big platform.

At least fight a Garcia or someone like that. Just that, and I would say, OK fair enough.

But honestly, I even have a hard time ranking Khan in the top 7-8 at WW.

[SplitSecond]

I'd be happy with either fight honestly. Although not sure how well Pacquiao will perform at his age coming off a layoff, wouldn't be surprised if he looked old, especially vs Crawford.

No I clearly remember Margarito being viewed as indestructable and was expected to win against Mosley.

But Mosley is still Mosley. He's no devon alexander or Chris Algieri.

Ok and I have a hard time rankings Margarito in the top 50 in 2010.

Atleast Khan is ranked.

lol come on.

1 loss?

[IronDanHamza]

lol come on.

1 loss?

One one sided beat down and 1 ten rounder over a nobody that wasn't ranked in the top 100. Zero legit wins in over 2 years.

Where would you rank him? How can he be in the top 50 at 154 when he no legit wins there in how many years? 5?

No wins at all at welterweight in over 2 years. His one fight there a beatdown. Where would you rank him there?

Fact; Khan is ranked.

Fact; Margarito wasn't.

Longer than five years. Has Margarito beaten anyone legit at 154...ever?

My desire to see Khan beaten by Manny is kinda high now!
