Comments Thread For: Arum: Broner, Crawford More Credible Than Khan For Pacquiao

[champion4ever]

It's very questionable whether or not Broner and Crawford are more credible than Khan. Just speaking in terms of chins, I tend to agree. It's a known fact that Amir is indeed, the more chinny of the other two as he has been dropped, stopped or knocked out on several occasions.

However, he does has more physical ability than the other two such as size, height, reach and power. Likewise, not only is he the only natural Welterweight of the other two but perhaps might be even the better and more pure boxer of the other two as well.

Khan has a big fan base in the Middle East. Not sure what you are talking about...Broner turned down a fight with Pac, and the Khan deal fell through, possibly pushed to November. Crawford is not a sure win, he hasn't been put to the test by an elite caliber fighter just yet.

except that he doesnt, where are you getting this from? He's Asian (family from Pakistan) not Middle Eastern

Asia not the Middle East. Crawford at this stage beats Pacquaio so that fight wont be happening. Not sure why they wouldn't take the Broner or Khan fight though

Middle East is primarily part of Asia.

where do you think the middle east is located at?

If he fights Crawford while Crawford's a P4Per, my respect for him will grow tremendously.

Frankly, at this point in his career, you can't blame him for wanting to fight people like Khan and Broner. His legacy's already set, why not make loot.

Exactly if Floyd fought Khan after getting KOed like he did people would call it a cherry pick and be laying sht all over Floyd , Manny fights guys off really bad loses and is given a pass, the double standards are just amazing.

You nailed it.

He's a ******. That's where he gets his Middle Eastern fan base from. Hence his desire to fight in UAE.

You're making a lot of assumptions here with very little evidence to back it up.

Yeah sorry was trying to differentiate the two but didnt do a very good job of explaining myself. The Middle East is a transcontinental region that's part of both Asia and North Africa. My point is that there is a clear distinction between middle eastern nations and other nations in Asia. Khan and his family is not part of that region, culturally that region is very different to Asian countries like Pakistan, India, Afganistan etc. Those are countries that Khan would most likely have a big following, countries like UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Iran...Not so much.

Not just Asia, in modern time the term is used to encompass parts of North Africa and even Europe (Turkey). There is a clear distinction between the Middle East and just the Asian continent.
