Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Facing Crawford: To Be Applauded or Condemned?

[Fuzzy-101]

Who did Khan beat that was so great, recently?

Hell, at least Brook definitively beat prime Porter who's a few rounds from being considered a P4P top 10 fighter. He beat Porter more definitively than Keith Thurman who's considered a top 10 P4P fighter by many.

Khan hasn't beaten anybody decent in almost a decade.

If you say recent you should be talking about a year or possibly two ago but you keep ****ing on about his win over porter which was back in 2014 which inst recent so stop saying recently. Recently he lost to errol and ggg, recently he beat no no dan and that aussie guy

7 fighters who deserve a title shot against Bud? Really? Name them. Nobody on the WBO's top 10 list is a legit contender other than Khan, and maybe Kavaliauskas and Vargas. Vargas has lost whenever he stepped up and Kavaliauskas looks promising but hasn't fought 1 legit contender.
Stop acting like there's anyone available to fight that Bud wouldn't get stick from.

did i give crawford stick? of course he wants to fight khan he has a known name and he will get some nice footage for his highlights video

my whole post was aimed at khan who is totally underserving of having a title shot i don't care how you spin it claiming the WBO is full of no name fighters the fact is khan hasnt had a legit fight in near 5 goddam years and been ktfo and put on his ass in recent ones dont tell me he deserves this fight cos thats BS

I'm not "spinning" anything. I am stating facts. There's no one else in the top 10 for him to fight that's more deserving who's actually available. I'm not even a fan of Khan but all these whining babies complaining about the match up offer no reasonable alternative and just spout nonsense with their ignorance towards availability of high level opponents. You tell me, who should Crawford be fighting?

Take your pick from any of them in the top 10 they might have no name and are more deserving than Khan whose last 2 opponents were ranked 42nd and 128th and he went life and death with 1 of them

So you think guys like kavaliauskas,lejarraja, j.vargas, would get blown out ok sure but no more than khan is going to be its a mismatch

Hell Andre Berto is available is that fight any worse than khan on paper? At least 3 of his last opponents were legit and he has actually held a belt at 147

I get why they have picked khan but you can argue all you want its a fact he does not deserve to fight Crawford

Notice how you said "recently." If we're gonna go off "recently," neither one has done anything to brag about! If were look past "recently," Khan has a better resume! it's not even close! Barerra, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, Diaz, Alexander, Collazo, Algieri, and I should throw in Peterson (since he tested positive for PEDs)! I'm not a Khan fan, but he's done way more than Brook! Brook got the win over Porter BY MD, and then what?

Dude, Khan fought all those guys at 140 a decade ago.

He's only fought Canelo in the past 5 years.

IN the past 5 years, Kell beat a guy who'd be a P4Per in Porter save a few rds here & there, and lost to Spence & Golovkin who are on everybody's top 10 and GGG was a lot of people's P4P #1 when he fought them.

[Ajvar]

How could any boxing fan condemn Amir Khan for taking on risks inside of the ring against some the better fighters in the world pound 4 pound? Overall, it's good for boxing. Even though his best years are now behind him.

Oi, that's established category of idiotic response already: "he moves up in challenge, doe!"
He DUCKS, that's what matters. He chose to gain an L from Not-A-Beast (who doesn't give a crap abot how to win demolishingly but cares just to win) instead of loosing to domestic rival who he called a gay which would haunt him for ever.

khan is a gay. He went personal and then hid.

Fam, Brook's resume before Porter, was very weak, compared to Khan! And Brook's resume after Porter: Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin, and Kevin Bizier, was atrocious for a WW Champion! Collazo, Alexander, and Algieri were better than those 3! Neither one of them have done a damn thing since then, but one of them is fighting the #1 P4P Boxer next! And guess what, it ain't Brook! Please stop saying Porter was P4P. He was never a P4P fighter, and he still isn't! Brook did not even look all that vs. Porter:

Kell Brook upsets Shawn Porter to win IBF welterweight title

Auguat 17, 2014:

It was a tough night for Porter, 26, whose aggression wasn't effective, as he lunged constantly, missed a ton of shots, and got picked off with jabs and counter shots from Brook. That's not to say it was a truly sterling performance for Brook, either, as the fight certainly lacked grace. Aside from counter shots, and maybe even more than those, Brook's strongest asset in this fight was his ability to smother Porter, often clinching him when he'd get in close. To Brook's credit, it worked and was smart. And Porter, it seemed, let himself simply get too far inside -- a half-step back, and his work might have wound up tidier, even if Brook did intend to hold.

Brook got a Majority Decision, and then went and fought Dan, Gavin, and Bizier...pathetic!

Apparently, can't read. I never said Porter was a P4P fighter.

What I said is that he is a FEW ROUNDS from being a P4P fighter. He barely lost to Brook & he barely lost to Thurman.

If he wins 1 or 2 rounds more in each of those fights, he's definitely on most P4P lists.

And like I said, Khan hasn't fought ANYBODY at 147.

All of his best wins are at 140 and even those are almost a decade ago.

You said Brook didn't fight anybody, when Brook has fought 2 dudes on the P4P list in the past few years.

Khan hasn't fought anybody but Canelo in the past 5 years and disappeared for 2 years after that.

He's lost to Breidis Prescott & Lamont Peterson.

At least the guys that cracked Kell are certified killers on the P4P list.

Khan fought Canelo in May 2016, then Brook, playing follow the leader, fought GGG September 2016! Peterson beat Khan, but he was dirty with the elevated testosterone! Khan is fighting Crawford! Who is Brook fighting?

He already fought Spence & Porter as well, who are both a hell of a lot better than Bredis Prescott & Lamont Peterson, who both beat Khan.
