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

[Fabes88]

Condemned. He knows what he’s doing the same way Mikey Garcia does, pulling the wool over “oh at least he’s daring to be great” brigade. Avoiding real challenges people expect them to win in favour of a fight they have no chance in knowing they will get credit just for showing up and winning a few rounds.

Khan could have finally brought a big fight to the UK. His biggest moments came in America.

A domestic fight for the biggest purse against a guy who has been disrespecting you for damn near a decade and you still don't fight?

khan is who I thought he was.

And Eddie Hearn is the worst for even signing khan to a 3 fight deal without a guarantee for the 3rd fight to be brook. As long as nobody lost before the 3rd fight.

Eddie ended up with 2 tune ups on matchroom and a b side on a top rank ppv.

He wasted 3 fights on Amir

Yeah Amir took him for a ride. I bet Hearn gave him everything he wanted for the brook fight. Even probably offered him Wembley and he didn’t take it lol

Porter, Spence, Golovkin = Nobody?

Out of his whole 30 plus fights you can only name me 3 fighters and two he lost too

And after you claimed that he fought nobody and I disproved that, you switched your argument to something else to keep disparaging him, which is the case way too often on these boards. Those 3 names are 3 of the absolute best in the game right now. Not many guys at welterweight can say they've faced better competition.

Fck Khan.....He ducked the entire 147 sat on hid ass n called out guys n fought nobody....But now just cuz he cash out vs Canelo then FINALLY fight a decent opponent n his weight class he gets the purple heart award?

Brook is the only fighter Khan has even remotely ducked imo.

After Canelo fight he's been out with injury. By your logic Thurman must have been ducking all at 147 too, despite him holding half the belts at the time.

I'd be confident in saying more fighters have ducked Khan than the other way round.

[Ajvar]

And no, that is not to make it out that he’s ducking the Sheffield star. You cannot be avoiding a lesser fighter to take on a more dangerous one, that argument is futile.

Dumb@ss of a writer just wrote how exactly Brook poses bigger danger to khan (loose against rival at the end of career is more devastating) and then this idiot calls it not a ducking move because Crawford is 'a more dangerous route'! HOW SO?! What a dumb@ss~!!

[KillaMane26]

You pretty much described kell Brooks career

Yeahh but atleast fought Porter and Spence...but i feel u

[FLY TY]

Applauded.

Whatever his reason is for avoiding Brook for so damn long, I can't fault the guy for fighting the #1 p4p fighter, for a belt, for less money.

Applauded! Time and again we as boxing fans criticize fighters for not taking on the best at their best or ducking and cherry-picking. Along comes Khan, a guy who isn't afraid of tough challenges and epitomizes everything we want in a fighter's heart, and he still gets shyt on. Ok, so he has a glass jaw and he talks a lot of rubbish. But, he is still a good boxer with speed, reflexes and some pop on his punches. I still consider this Crawford's biggest test if Khan enters the ring at his best.

Facts! Would give you green K if I didn't have to wait before giving you again.

I never claimed that he hasn't fought anyone, my problem with kell is that he hasn't done anything worthy of mentioning apart from bearing porter. Hearn ruined the guys career, he backed out of fighting Bradley and he backed out of fighting cotto only to fight the likes of Carson Jones and no no Dan. Whether you like it or not khan is the more established fighter, the guy even managed to bring in a record viewership against Samuel frigging vargas. Like I said Brook will still be begging khan after the Crawford fight because he hasn't got anywhere else to go
