    Hank Lundy: Crawford's power isn't anything special, John Molina hits harder

    Also had Khan winning the Garcia fight until he got clipped after getting ****y and making a mistake.

    Molina has legitimate heavy hands and could crack, not a surprising statement. But Crawford looks to hit hard enough so not sure what you are trying to get at here. That Khan will be able to take his power? I mean possibly, but the question is for how long? If Khan gets teed off constantly, he will eventually get stopped. Crawford won't stop him with one shot like Canelo. Khan needs to worry about his defense and make sure it is on point more than anything. He was getting hit with some shots he shouldn't have been hit with against Vargas.

      Broner took shots from Molina and didn't go down or ever get hurt, despite being dropped and wobbled by Maidana.

      Maidana wobbled Khan but couldn't put him down because Khan fought smart for 11 out of 12 rounds.

      My point, sir, is that when Khan SHOWS THE HELL UP...he's a nightmare for anyone. This fight will come down to that - does Khan show up, and if he does, we'll truly know how good Crawford is or isn't.

        Molina hardly touched Broner with anything significant that fight.

        LIS, Khan needs to shore up his defense first and make sure he's not getting hit with the crap Vargas was hitting him with. If he fights a disciplined fight? Sure he can make it tough on Crawford for spots of the fight. But that's a huge IF at this point. After all, Khan is the man that went life and death with Algieri and even got rocked in the first round of that fight.

          This whole statement is crap. Coz if Khan "shows up" and gets immediately KO'd anyway you'll just say "oh Khan didn't show up".

              If Khan gets "immediately" knocked out, it'll be credit for Crawford. Just like I gave him credit for dominating and stopping Horn despite never actually hurting him.

              If Khan takes Crawford the distance, I'll question people's claim about Crawford being P4P or even top 10.

              What we're not doing is giving Crawford credit for getting outboxed for 11 rounds if all he does is get a KO in the 12th or some crap. You all think Khan's a bum, then Crawford has a high bar to reach.

                I just saw on BoxRec Lundy recently lost to a fighter with a 10-1 record. I'm not sure his opinion means much at this point.

                I'm sure Jeff Horn thinks Pacquiao hits harder than Crawford also.

                  Yet Bud took Lundy out in 5 rds? Well, there must have been some type of power on his shots if he couldn't even last half a fight against weak ole lil Bud.

                    I think if you ask Horn, he'd say Crawford's punches had more snap to them than Manny. That's because Manny barely threw anything but that one round where Crawford was there all night long.
