I actually quite like the Crawford-Khan matchup

    Doesn't matter who you match Khan up to it's going to be fun watch. I can see a bit of a chess match for the first few rounds before Bud starts timing him, respecting Khan's power less and starts taking more risks to get the stoppage. That could leave him exposed but Khan always leaves a few openings of his own. It'll probably be an overhand right that scores the first KD.

      F uckin A Kahn has a weird way of doing anything and everything to not fight brook.

      Kahn believes brutal ko losses to canelo and Crawford are far better then getting pounded by brook I guess.

      That said Crawford will bite down at some point and stop one of the worst chins in boxing.

        if khan doesn't get KDs or KO, he wins this by UD.
        this will be crawford's first big quicker opponent with a punch.

          Who’s a Khan fan??? I said it’s an interesting matchup. Which it is.

            Khan may roll back years. When pressure is off and he's not favourite he does well.

              You won't hear me complaining about it...

              Who else can he fight?

              -Spence is fighting a Lightweight
              -Thurman is fighting a tune up after a long lay off
              -Porter is fighting Ugas
              -Pacquiao is fighting Broner
              -Danny Garcia is fighting Granados

              Khan is really the best they could get for Crawford name wise and resume wise.

                I love boxing but at this level if you are giving 1 guy no chance you’re actually doing the sport a disservice by supporting the fight.

                It’s such a weird thing to target Khan at this point.
                It’s not Mayweather-McGregor bro. Both are skilled fighters, Crawford is a superior fighter obviously but it’s not a dangerous mismatch by any means.

                    It is a mismatch though which I suppose is inherently dangerous.

                    A $5 million purse and what Crawford gets is an opponent that nobody really thinks can win.

                    That blows my mind tbh.

                      What’s so interesting about it? Khan has been fighting for a decade and his best win is still Zab Judah. He’s not a big fight fighter.
