    Some good fighter will probably KO Khan when he steps up from his current cherry pick to fight a top 10 welterweight. It might as well be Crawford that gives him his 4th KO loss. Khan has a chance to win but I pick Crawford by KO.

      That's not a terrible fight.

      Some people will say everyone Crawford fights is a bum unless he's literally fighting Errol Spence.

      Just like British people will say every single person Wilder fights is a bum unless he's literally fighting Joshua.

        I think he is going to bolt soon. Haymon has all the welterweights and belts. Khan is a placeholder for brook. So what opponents can arum offer? He's been complaining about how top rank treats lomachenko who just got a big fight on ESPN while crawford big fight was just moved to ESPN+ app and they forced him to fake a injury to boot. And if Manny wins against lucas lomachenko is getting that fight not crawford which will create a bigger rift.

          Tbf I think Crawford can feel aggrieved all he wants, but he needs to accept his last PPV event which he was headlining was a total boring flop of an event, becoming a huge face star of boxing it requires more than just getting the win.

            Did he really say something about that? I know his sister complains about the special treatment Loma gets over Crawford but I've never seen Crawford say anything about it.

              Approached him & next are two entirely different things.

              But yea Khan should be on Bud's shortlist. I'd rather Bud fight the tip top guys, but I know it might not be easy just with all these Haymon guys, save for Spence, being ultra picky right now & with the potential for issues in putting top TR guys in with TR PBC guys which hasn't happened all that much. Kinda think it sholdn't be a problem now, but I still gotta lean towards I'll believe it when I see it.

                Good luck to Bud if he tries that. I don't see it.

                The way Arum works will give lil wiggly room to do so. Anytime Bud signs a fight vs a big name guy it'll include an extension. So he'll show his hand right there by taking the fight or not & Arum will probably put him in with lesser guys with bad style matchups for him that'll get him beat or looking bad lowering his value if he passes on those fights.

                Probably the only way out for Bud is a contract buyout like Floyd did back in the day, but I feel like its a solid bet Arum has taken measures to make that less of an issue these days too.

                And I don't think Bud is even the money generator he could be yet so he might as well left 5 years ago vs now. So he gained lil with TR except a slowed progress to the top. I think people forget Bud has 10 years in the pro game now.
