If you are under 60 and you have weird shaped muscles like this its a signal of poor genetics.

I heard Amir Khan is inbred his father married his first cousin this could be why he has a glass chin and weird muscles

That picture of khan was on ESPN a while back so that’s not fight-week shape. But who cares he’s getting drilled

ESPN just reported Miller failed his drug test ahead of his fight with AJ..smh

How disappointing if this is true? 6 million up in smoke. What a complete waste!

I'm not a huge Khan fan because of his mouth but I will admit against Canelo he looked huge and did pretty well until he almost took a dirt nap. He most likely needed the time off after getting put out like that but I think a combination of his age and taking a terrible KO like that has taken its toll. Vargas was IMO a good couple of punches away from putting him out. Collazo was his last good win to me and that was years ago. Just my prediction but this will be the fight that puts Khan into retirement.

Khan is taking those belts I don't see Crawford winning a decision unless he knocks out khan

By any chance this goes thru distance, Khan's not getting the decision. Khan by KO is the least possibility.

It's gonna be Crawford by KO as almost everybody would expect

Is it just me or does Arum look YOUNGER?

Dude reached maximum age and is coming back around again. Well done Bop

Bop to Amir: "Lay flat on the canvass in spectacular fashion and you'll get a million bonus from me... "

If Khan don't get dropped he will win. I don't like Khan at all but it would be foolish to ignore the fact that he has never been outboxed and has the fastest hands in the sport. If Khan had a chin he would be the best fighter in the world.. I know its a hard pill to swallow but it is true

His hands are blazing fast, but he doesn't necessarily throw good combinations. I don't think his feet are that fast nor is his footwork great so he's often in striking range. He's not really got much in the way of infighting skills either and there's always been that weak spot (chin) so that's why you may say he's not been outboxed. Fighters have known they don't have to do that. Garcia picked his shots after Khan was on top of him, Peterson roughed him up and Canelo knew he had size.

Khan isn't great at sticking and moving either because he doesn't possess great ring IQ or defense. I think a disciplined boxer like Crawford can quite comfortably box his ears off from the outside once he's timed the speed. Crawford has great IQ, can fight well outside and inside and has the type of power and accuracy to keep Khan honest too.

I see Crawford figuring out his speed and style around the 3rd or 4th and then breaking him down before taking him out. I don't expect a quick one punch style KO more an accumulation before the stoppage. Khan's lack of IQ (compared to Crawford), defensive deficiencies will be shown up as much as his chin. Virgil improved him in one area which was teaching him to clinch and fight ugly. I don't see that working with Bud.
