Comments Thread For: Crawford vs. Khan - Press Conference Set, London on January 15

Horn was blown away by Crawford's speed, though Khan lacks the power of Crawford, I'll go with Khan on this one. 12 round decision.

It wasn't just his speed. It was his ring IQ, which Khan lacks. Speed can be timed. Khan has never shown smart use of his speed. It's all the same speed, no variance.

Is there any one out there actually willing to put their hard earned money into Khan's back pocket by paying for this fight?

I end up making excuses to myself , under card fights etc. and end up watching them all.......This one... NO CHANCE at all!

I would not give this undeserving little weasel a freight if I were a ghost!

I think Goosen and Roach were working more to his strengths (His speed), Hunter was working more on his weakness (Chin), I thought he was better off with Hunter (The fight whisperer). It’s too late for Khan, if he has any sort of ring generalship/IQ then he would have been better than he is right now.

Totally agree I thought his overall game was better under hunter, he was more cautious at punches coming back and just seemed to lose the recklessness and navigate his way through fights much better. I’ve seen the old traits creeping back in under Goosen, planting feet too long whilst getting his combos off and staying in range for counters etc

Looking forward to the fight anyway, you’ve got to love a Khan fight doesn’t matter who’s in the other corner, his explosiveness and vulnerability makes for exciting viewing!

It matters little who is in his corner really. Freddie might have him in there for a little less time than Hunter but all the same this will end in even more embarrassment for Khan.This is a total mismatch and hopefully the penny will drop with Khan and his hangers on before he gets really hurt!

Intrigues me purely because khan was outboxing canelo before getting caught but Crawford's gonna surely work Khan out similarly? With a less devastating ko but same ending... Khan looking like an epileptic breakdancer.

True, but Horn is not that far above Khan in ring IQ. What do you think?

Was he really outboxing him or was Canelo giving up rounds because he knew Khan couldn't hurt him and he was timing Khan and figuring him out? When Canelo decided to apply a little pressure there was nothing Khan could do

Not really in Ring I.Q. but he has the power to stop Khan and the chin to withstand anything Khan has for him. What's your opinion on the Khan/Algieri fight?
