Crawford CANNOT be considered P4P anything if Khan takes him the distance.

    No he isn't. Crawford was damn near as big as Jeff Horn and Horn is a middleweight. Khan's not fighting 154 this time - it's about to be equal height.

    Everyone here says Khan's a bum, so if Crawford can't handle a bum as quickly as Danny did, he's not P4P.

      I don't think Khan is a bum. He is fun to make fun of, or at least his 'glass jaw', but he is a very competent boxer

          That's what's interesting about this fight, really. I said it before - you got a guy in Khan who's laser fast with the shots, great timing, etc. but falls victim to his own mistakes. Then you got a guy in Crawford who's only real trouble spot was against a guy who could throw nearly as fast as Khan in Gamboa.

          Crawford sets you up for mistakes and takes advantage. Khan has a boxing pedigree and blistering speed. It's actually a very good fight.

          But...more importantly, it's a great test for Crawford.

          For you see, Crawford only really has one success vector: a knockout before Round 10, or a clearly acceptable stoppage (not that BS that happened to Horn). As in, Khan is just getting overwhelmed and dominated before the fight is stopped. Danny Garcia got him out of there in 4 rounds? Crawford should do AT LEAST as good if he's a top welter.

          If Khan lasts until the championship rounds and has won at least half of them, there's just no way Crawford can be anyone's P4P. It's your opinion but come on. That'd be like Spence dropping rounds to Mikey - just shouldn't happen (and didn't).
          If it goes the distance Crawford deserves to lose a highly disputed decision if you cannot knock out Khan you are not a great fighter.

            Crawford is supposed to be pfp. So if Khan wins I dont want writers to put Khan as now top 15. Khan should become what Crawford was. To p 5 pfp

              It all depends on how the fight plays out. If Khans in there trying to survive, and not fighting back, it’s difficult to stop a fighter like that.

                Khan was the laughing stock of the forum and crawford p4p 1 with many people before the fight was made so really it should be a slaughter. Ive gradually seen people start to hype up khan a bit though since then, now hes a legit opponent and a threat

                  Crawford just needs to win and keep winning, simple as that

                    It won't happen cause khan is from the uk. If a uk fighter wins its apparantly because the opponent was overrated or had an off day. If spence beat crawford he'd become p4p number 1 and a legend

                      No, that's an excuse.

                      Crawford has been hyped as having an answer for everything. If he's that good he should be able to easily cut off the ring and get Khan out of there.
