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

    It's called selling a fight bro.

    I don't remember if you were here, but I called Horn taking Manny the distance when NOBODY else saw it. All they saw was an easy KO. We saw what happened.

    Now, there's levels obviously but remember, it took Crawford nine rounds and a trigger happy ref to get Horn out of there. Horn has only been a pro for like seven years. Khan is a MF'n Olympian with a solid boxing background.

      I disagree. A.K. Is a cagey veteran with an ocean of wealth in championship experience. It wouldn't be in the least bit surprising to me if he did indeed last the distance against Crawford; Given the stronger opposition of opponents on his resume. In addition, to his amateur pedigree; The man knows how to fight despite his handicapped chin.

        Crawford just needs to keep on winning. Every fight is different, you can have an off night or be up against someone with a style that troubles you and it takes more time to adjust and adapt. A great fighter knows how to find a way to win even when everything isn't going your way and you have to dig deep.

        Regarding this fight. I don't expect Crawford to blast Khan out in 3-4 rounds. Khan will most certainly come out fast like a 100m sprinter and probably win a couple of the early rounds. I expect Crawford to start taking control of the fight after maybe round four and start to dominate more and more and stop Khan in the 10th round.....but even if the fight goes the distance and Khan is more competitive than some people thought would be the case. It doesn't really matter because it's all about getting that W.

        Khan is not a pushover. He's coming to fight and he will most likely have his moments with his fast hands and high output.

          It matters. You can't be called a pound for pound getting outboxed over 12. Just like Wilder can't be considered the greatest heavyweight when an obese former drug addict outboxed him.

            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.
            Khans an experienced fighter. It’s not hard to go in there and try to survive. If Khan comes to fight he will go out on his back.

              Postol went out there and "tried to survive" he left on two feet.

              Khan went out there and didn't "try to survive" against Maidana, he left on two feet.


              My point is, survival isn't the problem. The guy across from you needs to control the fight. That simple.

                Crawford would cruise through Khan. I have Crawford as the best boxer in the world right now. Khan will be trounced and KOed within the distance. Bud will need just a couple of rounds to collect data, after that it'd be downhill for Khan, no struggle whatsoever.

                Can't wait!

                  Bud takes him out by the seventh or eighth round
                  Bud is a slow starter , but will eventually break him down and take him out

                    I dont know how quite this forum will be when khan pull the upset and KO bud.
                    What will be the excuses? Bud had a bad day? Bud is overrated? Bud had over trained himself? Bud underrated khan?

                    Let's see how it goes.

                      I see no scenario in which Crawford gets knocked out unless the ref does a bad stoppage scenario. Khan has speed and timing but not power.
