If he wins that one maybe against Danny Garcia or even Robert Guerrero seeing his come out of retirement, these could be good entertaining fights.

I can't actually see him beating Spence, Thurman or Crawford.

Crawfish next 3 opponents after he KO's Khan:

Solid guy with good boxing fundamentals. Not intimidated by anyone.
He makes for good fights.
