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

[Eff Pandas]

I can't do either I don't think.

Bud & Spence & Porter & Keith & hell even Manny should all be fighting each other thats what we all wanna see. So Bud vs Khan isn't amping me up much. Then again its Khan, a name guy who'll get some extra eyes on Bud, instead of those no name TR guys we all largely thought was Bud's next fight & his destiny being with Arum so its not exactly bad either.

So since I'm not clapping or codemning I guess I'm rolling my eyes while giving it a thumbs up.

What are he odds of Khan icing Crawford like he’s Phil lo Greco?

[JayCho]

I think Khan should be applauded as a UK boxing great, two weight world champion, olympic silver medalist, shown heart time and time again.
He has a great resume of opponents win or lose.

Unfortunately he won’t be as he is a *****ing moron which is why me and many others cant stand the guy!

what khan's doing should be condemned. he's cynically banking on fact that the brook fight will always be big business like it's mayweather/pacquaio. like the fight can be shoved to the end of his career and brits will watch no matter how faded him and brook are. i don't think it will play out the way he thinks. tbh, khan's playing himself and being too clever for his own good.

Well blame the ****** brits because
This fight shouldn't even be getting discussed anymore it's boring never mind talk of Wembley etc. That ship has sailed yet******ed casual brits still clamber to see this rubbish.

Khan getting beat by Crawford isn't to be applauded.

Khan isn't even a contender any more.

We don't applaud the likes of Chilemba, Pascal, or even Collazo for getting routinely beat by up coming stars.

[MeiXiang]

He's taking the easy way out. A win against Crawford is everything and will push him back to pound for pound status. A loss is expected so he's got nothing left to lose and he's trying to brainwash the public into thinking he's brave for taking the fight on

What he's really doing is avoiding Brook because he knows he will lose and he can't stand to lose to Brook.

Pathetic.

[doom_specialist]

I vote condemn. Khan's "speed" has been timed and used against him enough times for us to know what's going to happen, given Crawford's pedigree. Beyond that, how did Khan even get this fight?

[R_Walken]

It’s a decent fight for me and I’ll be some what interested in the fight

It’s a way better name for Bud then I’d thought he’d fight even though Khan hasn’t looked impressive in years probably the Alexander fight ( who may have been battling drug addiction at the time ) was his last solid performance

I’m not a Khan fan but dude has massive nuts and I find it funny how he treats Brook like Mayweather treated him for years . Just dangling a fight for years but never having a intention of fighting. Just wasting years of their career giving them the run around

[Fuzzy-101]

It's funny seeing you lot get you panties in a twist when it comes to khan. If you see it from his point of view he is actually making a smart business decision in getting 5 million to fight bud and regardless of winning or losing the brook fight will alway be there no matter what hearns says.
