        He can cruise to so many wins but goes chin up arms down to try and prove his chin isn’t glass

          Khan in his twenties would've been Crawford toughest fight but now, he looks close to be a shot fighter.

          Crawford will stop him at some stage BUT this could be an exceptional fight and once again khan is taking on a top opponent.

            It must link to his general IQ.

            Guy is scary dumb.

              I think a prime Khan beats Bud unless he gets clipped obviously this version of Khan is past it but I still give him a small chance it's not as one sided as people want to make it seem

                It's interesting even after Stevenson he is risking this.
                But maybe he thinks that he survived a hard shot from Canelo, so Crawford can't hit that hard?

                  No chance.

                  Let's be honest, his best days and wins were around 2010-2011. That's a LONG time ago in boxing.

                  All he has is speed and if guys like Garcia, Peterson etc. can pretty much find a way to cope with the speed, Crawford surely will. Even guys like Algieri and Diaz weren't that troubled by it. That's why i used to laugh when people thought he might have a chance against Floyd due to his fast hands, when far lesser fighters dealt with him

                    Huge IF, but let’s say he avoids any shot to his chin, keeps the range, peppers Crawford all night.... gets a UD....

                    Would Khan be back in the top 10 P4P list?
                    I think timing will be key.
                    Khan has more hand speed but I fully expect Crawford to adjust and start timing him, which will lead to a stoppage victory

                      I don't think that matters much in combat sports, in this day and age. ****** fighters like Ali and Tyson are respected legends. And in MMA, Khabib is one of its biggest stars. If anything, Khabib kind of stole Khan's thunder, since he's no longer the biggest contemporary ****** star in combat sports... which might be why Khan was rooting for McGregor.
