Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Has Decided To Fight Crawford, Likely April 20 At MSG

[Motofan]

As many have said Khan is cool getting slept by anyone besides Brook. Easy, easy fight for Crawford. Highlight KO incoming though because Khan comes to fight.

yeah, they made the exact same excuse in the Canelo fight.

It’s not exactly an excuse. I think everyone was expecting Khan to just be KTFO and not even compete (a la Rocky Fielding). It’s another case of when and not if but the excitement comes from not knowing when he’ll be sparked. I genuinely believe he has a chance to stay in there long enough to convince us he’ll survive and then BOOM.

Absolutely. He could compete with guys like Charlo/Harrison/etc. Munguia and Hurd may be too big for him, but skills wise he is there with those guys....Which is why it ticks me off how he wasted his career after the Spence fight chasing Khan. About to be two years since that fight and he's trying to go down to WW to appease Khan SMH.

Also, so glad people can STFU with their false agendas of saying ESPN+ and DAZN are going to put a stop to PPVs. Not sure why ESPN+ kept getting mentioned of stopping PPVs when all Arum has said has been the opposite. Dude mentioned Lomachenko vs Berchelt as PPV FFS. Only reason TR fights lately is because Pacquiao is no longer with them and before that he was fighting overseas. PPVs aren't going anywhere, especially if these promoters negotiate deals similar to the UFC where they get a bigger split than the usual PPV 50/50 split.

Wasted his career after the Spence fights? He wasted way before that fighting Euro bums when he could have fought Bradley,Alexander, Rios, Vargas and Chavez.

This fight should be on April 1st if at all !

Biggest name on Crawford’s resume and arguably the best which is sad!

Bud will regret resigning with Top Rank and we’ll hear his grievances this year!

Oh dear....

Did anyone see Amir’s handspeed on that dodgy online wankfest video?

Khan hasn’t fought anyone of world class 147lb calibre since Garcia and that was in some other lifetime in a distant galaxy far far away.

He wants to take on a pound for pound elite having barely fought anyone of relevance (baring the Canelo debacle) in god knows how many years!! WTF!

This guy is too deluded for the sake of his own health.

It’s amazing how he can still get offered such high purses, I guess fans are happy to pay to see him get KTFO. It will be an entertaining fight while it lasts.

Crawford is class. His ring IQ alone will have khan drowning. Khan will be dropped into fetal position, as and when Crawford decides.

That's also true. But after Spence he has just been chasing the Khan fight. First return fight was at 154 which was cool, but then all on his mind was Khan. Dude even came in at 150 last fight for a 154 limit bout to show he is serious about getting down to 147. Smh, move on already and finish your career at 154.

Tough decision but one that I can’t criticise, it’s a title fight....

[hitmanjosh]

He can give Crawford some problems with his speed for a while until Crawford imposes his will and start to land from countering the weak defense of Khan.

[thack]

It's an absolutely unwinnable fight so he's getting sparked for less money....title or not!
