How did Khan look?

[hayZ]

I rewatched snippets of his fights vs Alexander, Judah, Collazo and he was far quicker and had much better endurance. His last couple of fights, it looks like his legs aren't what they were. He seems to be off balance a lot and can't get in and out as fast. His style is basically feint, get in, land a flurry, get out, feint, jab here and there and then flurry and get out. He looked good in spots vs Crawford and I think he landed some good shots but his legs were all over the place.

I think Crawford is definitely better than any version of Khan, just has too much versatility but I would have loved to see a 2014 Khan vs present Crawford. Would have been a brilliant one.

A past his prime Brook would still beat Khan. Just all wrong for him. Too big and strong. He may not have the feet/speed/reflexes that he once had (Brook) but he is still is a terrible match-up for Khan. Brook would STILL take that fight but I think Khan will continue to duck that match.

He is over the hill, and he doesn't look like he makes 47 well any more. He looked horrible, skinny and frail in the ring. We've seen fighters in the past who put muscle on and have a fight or two at a higher weight and then try to move back down...it doesn't go well.

Either way he should retire. His best quality at elite level has always been his speed of foot and hand, it was hard to track for anyone. It's not anymore and he's not nearly good enough in other areas to compensate.

he looked like dog****. you have to give crawford some credit for that but then again khan was having serious problems with samuel vargas the fight before.

[Redd Foxx]

He never got a chance to show what he had really because after he was dropped in the first, he was mentally ***ed and his legs never looked solid again throughout the rest of the fight.

Based on the first 2 minutes, he looked about the same as he has in the last 4 years. It's not like he suddenly aged or that the Khan from 2015 would have done anything differently.

Hunter actually did a lot to get Khan to pull himself together and not get finished in the next few rounds. But, Khan just didn't have the talent or the will to make it far.

Khan never truly evolved his style. He’s the same since his roach days, only age caught up with him bit by bit. His arrogance didn’t help either, if only he had fully accepted that his chin is his major flaw he would’ve adopted to it a long time ago. He would’ve learned to tie up and fight more diciplinely behind the jab. It would’ve turned him into a boring but more efficient fighter.

2014 version would still lose the same way, he was already KOed by prescott and garcia at that time. All lesser fighters compare to crawford. But yup maybe much better fight.

He’s just too delusional it’s very easy to hate him.

he looked like **** but at least he tried, unlike some

[R-Hand Southpaw]

I think the first KD was less about getting hit with a good shot and more the fear of getting hit with a good shot. That's why before the punch that knocked him down his legs got all twisted from lunging in.

The shot that knocked him down just tapped him. If he would have stood up the next should would have probably floored him.

Imo. I've seen a couple Khan fights and he looked like complete **** in this fight. He was super impatient and only came forward in a straight line. It looked like he was trying to beat Crawford to the punch but he didnt look near as fast as he used to.

Some people speculated that Khan would outspeed Crawford but I didnt see this. Crawford imo didnt look too great either but he did enough. I can't really say he was "breaking him down" because the match ended prematurely imo but Crawford is still untested

Considerably slower hand and foot. His balance was terrible.
Everytime he put a combination together he left his feet behind.
Fell short or overreached he never found his range credit to Crawford there. Khan made no adjustments at all, Crawford looked bored almost that's all he had to offer. I don't think he got out of second gear.

Khan should either retire or cash out and take his whooping from Brook.

His speeds not the same but he was more effective under Roach when he'd put combinations together he's looked awful under Virgil with this more measured approach.

To me he looked like when a really old fighter attempts a comeback after being out for years. Rusty. Legs gone, timing off.

[moochi]

Khan looked like Khan looks, he's been finished for years and credit to him for earning some cash and putting in some decent battles.

What surprised me more though was Crawford got hit a fair bit from many different types of punches. In this current era of promoters hyping their fighters whilst protecting them and cherry picking opponents, I just don't know how to rate these so called stars. They do look tremendously talented, but against selective opponents.

So after tonight I'm even more curious to see how TC (and teofimo lopez as well) would fare against another legitimate top 5 WW.

The thing with Khan is if you take away his speed, what's left?

He has a low ring IQ, unintelligent footwork, average power, bad chin, leaky defence, no inside game.

His speed carried him through to a certain level but now even that has gone and you're left with a very flawed & average fighter.

Crawford did what he had to. Apart from being stopped in 50 seconds v Prescott, this is also the first time Khan has had no success in a fight, which down to him now being slower and Crawford being too good. It's not something he was used to and looked for a way out.
