I actually quite like the Crawford-Khan matchup

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

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.

Maidana is his best win.

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.

Every fight has an element of danger. It’s not like Khan is unqualified to be fighting an opponent of Crawford’s calibre.

Crawford gets an opponent with some name value, to the casual fan it’s probably quite a saleable fight. I think it’ll be pretty exciting stylistically, it’s a better matchup than Benavidez was IMO.

Maidana is his best win.

A shut out win over Alexander was a good win too. Alexander shut Maidana out.

I think this matchup woulda been more appealing had Khan not looked like Shet his last fight .
I'ma watch it if it's Free .

It will be interesting in the early rounds, Khan is quick and aggressive when he wants to be.

But I eventually see Crawford breaking down Khan and stopping him in the mid/late rounds. Crawford is a much more complete fighter and he's a class above Khan.

Me too, we all know how it’s going to go doe. Khan looking like a billion dollars after the first few rounds, by the fourth round he already got figured out and by the mid round he is done or already to go.

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 don’t blame Crawford one bit. He seems to be frozen out a bit. Unless he fights some from 140 or rematch Horn I don’t know who else he can fight. He can always dig up Bradley or JMM if these lot prefer those names to Khan, how about Zab Judah?

I like it more than Spence vs Garcia

[boliodogs]

Khan is a very inconsistent He can look like garbage as he did in his last fight. He can also look great like he did against against Judah, Paulie and Alexander. If the best Khan shows up he could win some rounds . But I think sooner or later the skillful accurate fast punching Crawford will crack Khan's weak chin and finish him off.

Bud is too fresh while Khan has tasted defeat too many times.

Bud ends him in 3.
