    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
    That’s the likely outcome

      I think Khan will outbox for a couple of rounds, before Crawford eventually times for a KO. It's just a matter of when he gets that KO. Since it took Canelo 6 rounds before KO, it should take Crawford about 7-8 rounds before KO.

        Someone tell Khan he has a glass chin and to stay out of range for the majority of the fight!!!!!

          Khan's punches are all straight, all fast, coming off movement. Khan is a stylistic nightmare for crawford.

          If khan has anything left, crawford doesn't have the tools to beat him.

          Khan outboxed canelo freaking alvarez, and you think he has a low i.q lol? Khan's only weakness is his chin, and if maidana couldn't put him away, crawford sure as hell can't do it.
          I think the only reason Khan did decent against Canelo for a little while is because Canelo did not give a flying fu#k. Canelo knew the fight was a joke the second it was signed and knew he would get a KO.

          Canelo wasn’t even thinking about boxing. He only thought about the KO. That’s why he was swinging wild the entire fight because he knew Khan was absolutely no threat at all.

          It’s not so much Khan outboxing Canelo as it is Canelo letting Khan outbox Canelo.

            Canelo was rather passive early on though, probably cause he knew he had the power. I expect Crawford to be more aggressive in the earlier rounds

              Depends if he can stick to a game plan for the entire fight, or if his ego takes over as usual!
              Granted he got KOd early in his career, but he wouldn't have got past Maidana late in that fight if his whiskers were really bad.

              I doubt he can stick to his gameplan all night against Crawford, but if he gets through that fight with a points decision - wow! Legacy fight, for sure. Correct decision to take this fight over Brook, I would have lost respect for him if he didn't take this fight - talking about coming back after Canelo loss to look for big legacy fights, well he got his chance and looks like he's accepted it. Would love to see Khan pull off the upset, but the reality is Crawford is too nice for Khan. Might put £10 on a draw.

                Khan was out on his feet a few times with Maidana, I will be rooting for Khan too but he doesn’t stick to the plan! His head and heart confuse him. He thinks he has a chin of iron!

                  I don't think he has any delusions about his chin when he's been stopped 3 times - must be very humbling for a 'King'. Khan undeniably has a lot of heart and he thinks that can get him through those moments when he gets hurt.

                    Do any of you guys think Khan could be an ATG if he actually had a chin?

                      so answer my question then. who has crawford beat that you guys rank him 1 or 2 p4p?

                      and what he does or how he goes about doing it means nothing if the opponents he does it on are bums. can he do that against thurman? garcia? porter?
