Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm Better Than Anyone Amir Khan Has Ever Faced

The best fighter Crawford ever faced was Gamboa. On fight night Crawford was easily two divisions bigger than Gamboa. Gamboa was connecting Crawford time and time again, it was ridiculous how easily he was punching Crawford time after time, but being so damn small he did no damage, yet he showed he was by far the better and way, way faster boxer of the two.
Had they been the same size, it would have been an easy win for Gamboa. I don't understand why some fighters accept fights where they are gonna lose for sure just because of size, to an A-class opponent who may lose to them for sure if they were the same weight on fight night. Same thing that happened in Mayweather Jr.-JMM, Canelo-Cotto, GGG-Brook. The HUGE size difference overcame the boxing skills in all cases.
But it's always about money, ALWAYS.
The toughest challenge of Khan has been Canelo, period, since the size difference was huge vs. an A-class fighter. Khan was committing suicide, everybody knew it, whereas vs. Crawford almost everybody is sure Khan will lose, but nobody thinks he's on a suicide mission like they did vs. Canelo. BIG difference.
Let's see Crawford almost kill him with a single punch in the early rounds, and then many of us will stand corrected, but that's highly unlikely to happen.Last edited by sterilizer; 01-16-2019, 05:45 AM.

I don't have a problem with what Crawford said. Yes Khan faced Canelo but the size advantage alone favored Canelo. Who is to say if they were the same size Khan wouldn't perform better? Especially, if he faced Canelo at 147. I think Canelo's talent is overrated on this site. He's faced a lot of good competition, however, he has at least 3 controversial decisions in his career. AND he got schooled by an older, smaller Mayweather. I haven't seen Canelo fight any better than I've seen Crawford fight. Golovkin is the best win on his resume by far but both wins were close and one (I thought) was the wrong decision. I believe Crawford could beat a talent "like" Golovkin in the WW division. I'm not saying Crawford could go up MW and beat Canelo but it's not impossible to imagine. Especially, since we've seen what Mayweather did even though it was a CW.
