typical crawfish and arum move fight a nobody.

wow crawford willing to take on khan who floyd ducked. no one wants to fight this man!

[Boxing Scene]

Why would cherry Garcia fight Crawford and get dominated when he can fight bums on PBC for nothing and continue to be ****ty.

That being said this is a winnable fight for Khan since Crawford doesn't have huge power.

[daggum]

people forget khan is undefeated at welterweight. khan will start as the clear favorite but it will be close

[chaosisme]

Hope Khan wins by knockout. Why the hell would this be on PPV? Lol!

Maybe not a popular opinion but I think maybe this is the right decision at this point. He gets to fight for a title again against one of the top fighters today. If he fought Brook & lost that likely would be it for another title shot. I highly doubt he beats Crawford but Khan has nothing to lose fighting against one of the best compared to if he loses to an out of his prime Brook. That fight should have honestly happened like 3 years ago anyway.

People forget that Crawford is NOT and has never been a one-punch KO fighter. I don't care what you think about a chin.

Gamboa got put down because he was clumsy and "LACK OF FUNDAMENTALS!!!" (Teddy Atlas)

Horn got stopped, on his feet, questionable, walked out of there perfectly healthy. Mind you, he does have a rock chin, but still.

I see one of three outcomes.

1. Crawford's accumulation and accuracy earns him a late ref stoppage.
2. Khan lands plenty, like he did against Algieri, but none of them do anything and Crawford walks him down to a decision.
3. Khan overcomes the odds and lands the shot Gamboa did, but is fast enough to capitalize on it.

Smart money to me is on #2. Maybe Crawford pulls off #1, but if prime Maidana couldn't do it, I question whether Crawford can, frankly.

I'll go with #1. I think Crawford stops him but late. Kinda like the Benavidez fight. Khan might have some success but he'll make a monumental mistake and get stunned. Terence will pounce on him and stop him.

One other scenario is Khan clinching every 5 seconds like has a tendency to do with "slick" boxers. He still gets stopped but the fight will be uglier.

does Eddie have anyone at 154 for Brook?

He maybe able to feed Brook to Munguia and GB
