A friend of mine runs a local boxing gym which has strong links with Khan and he’s just told me Khan told him about an hour ago that he’s signed a deal to fight Crawford next. I don’t have anymore info other than that but very strange move on Khans part unless he really believes he has a chance at beating bud or just hates Kell so much that he just won’t give him a payday! Kell would have been the easier fight with a better payday yet he’s picked a fight he’s 95% likely to lose and get paid for less.
Khan would rather get sparked again than risk losing to Brook. It's beyond pathetic. Brook needs to tell Hearn to forget about Khan and make him some elite level fights whilst he's still capable of competing at that level.
The Brook fight will always be there for Khan. He might not get another shot at a p4p fighter if he doesn't take it now. Win or lose against Brook, Khan won't get Crawford shot. Win or lose against Crawford, Khan can still fight Brook.
Khan's chin getting splattered again I'm not sure he ever recovered from the Canelo KO Vargas put him on his ass pretty hard in his last fight Crawford stops him real bad
I wanted to believe Khan with his surgically repaired right hand could and would go onto to prove he was worthy of becoming a 2.0 Brit fighter, but sadly I'm just going to have to accept the fact that savage right hand Clenbuterol bomb from 190lb Clenelo has ruined his chin and he's no longer the best 147 pounder on the planet or even close. In fact, he's clearly shot to bits now.
Khan has picked a fight he will lose but maintain his pride (in his eyes). He can't face losing to Brook, that's the bottom line....
Guy I love vs. guy I love to see get knocked out. Please tell me this will cancel Crawford's current plans and happen this Spring.
Crawford TKO. With that said I preferred the Collazo fight because atleast he was signed with Haymon and it would open up a fight between Crawford and another big name Haymon fighter like Thurman Porter Garcia or Spence. I don;t think Khan is with Haymon.
In all seriousness I think I must be missing something regarding Bud Crawford After seeing people call him a "Cold Eyed Assassin 'I expected him to easily destroy his last opponent who fought with a crippled leg I was not that impressed with Bud Khan could surprise us all & box his ears off
