Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Has Decided To Fight Crawford, Likely April 20 At MSG

[thack]

"Top Rank had tried to secure Danny Garcia as Crawford’s opponent prior to reaching out to Collazo.

Philadelphia’s Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) was offered a $3 million guarantee to challenge Crawford. Angel Garcia, Danny’s father/trainer, never responded to Top Rank’s offer, however, which made Arum’s team explore other opponents.

They later offered Khan a $5 million guarantee to face one of the best boxers in the sport."

That does not make any sense at all! Why would TR offer Khan more money than DSG? Danny went 12 with Thurman and Porter! Khan barely beat Samuel Vargas! WTF?

Absolutely, Khan would fight his own mother rather than take the inevitable beating from Brook BUT what is Arum thinking about here ...Khan is completely shot and Garcia is live and heavy handed.

Bob needs to put that blow away it doesn't suit him!

No question, hands down... this will be Khan's worst beating he's ever taken and he'll ever endure

Khan can make this one interesting. Don't forget he was outboxing Canelo before his decapitation.

Crawford is much better than Canelo though.

Nah, nothing will top the Canelo KO.

Actually, it`s amazing. People act like Crawford is some superstar, but Khan would be the biggest name on his resume, by far. On the other hand, Khan fought Barrera, Canelo, Maidana, Judah. Khan is more experienced fighter than Crawford, for sure.

PPV? No thanks

This is where you'll see just how shyte Amir Khan really is and how slow and Amateurish this buffoon is when he is being timed and mauled by a guy that is smaller but is fresh and ready and can fight.

I really wanted Brook to be the one to spark this idiot again but I suppose the hammering he will take will suffice it's just the idiot in the spot light talking bollocks again that will be difficult !

Con will never get a bean out of me ....... that's one I absolutely refuse!

Most folks in this thread are bashing Amir but if a much smaller Gamboa was able to give Crawford fits for at least 5 rounds and was able to buzz him, Khan should be able to at least make the fight interesting in the first half due to his speed. More importantly, he hits harder than Yuri thats a fact but then it all depends how much Khan has left to offer as a fighter. Bottom line, either Khan loses by close UD or Bud by late stoppage.

Great fight. Might fly out for this one
