Got to imagine yourself in Khan's shoes. These guys are where they are for a number of reasons, one of them is a huge amount of self belief. The boxing public may feel he has no chance, but Khan won't. I'll never criticise someone for aiming big
Crawfords resume is terrible, yet another bum lol. Whereas Spence and Di Bella laughed off the prospect of fighting the joke Khan This content is protected
He`s got to cut out his defensive mistakes before he takes on a puncher like Crawford, each time you get knocked out it leaves a scar on the brain, Khan is pushing it.
I'm not arguing that he'll win, just saying his reasons for taking the fight over Brook would be totally justified and I'd credit him for it
You know what though, dude? He's gonna' take a bad whoopin' either way. I think Brook is less cruel by nature when he is dominant (this is by eyeball so take it for what it's worth). This is one of the things that make me compare Bud to Marvelous; once they have control they toy with their food. It's almost feline.
Either way he gets beaten. Should have taken the Brooks fight in Britain. AT least that would have been a big payday.
Khan wants brook like the grooming gangs like their girls weak and vulnerable Khan is scared of a fit and healthy brook Khans body language screams he knows brook does him irrelevant of any claims khan made in the past present or future Kell needs to move on even the blind can see who as ducked who the public know who as wanted it and who as not History will continue to repeat its self in Britain
I would go for the Crawford fight. Note I think he most likely loses to either fighter. The potential upside should he beat crawford would be far higher. He would be right up there and the rematch could be massive. If he loses the downside is less than a defeat by Brook. He was never favoured, was brave to take it on etc. Despite what Eddie Hearn says the Brook fight would still like be an option even after losing to TC.
I’d pick Crawford if I were Khan. If he fights brook and loses, his career is over. If he beats brook people will just say brook was damaged goods anyway (which he is really) and Khan won’t get a whole lot of credit for it. If he beats Crawford he has completely resurrected his career and will be at the top of the sport again. If he loses (which he will) he will have lost to a top p4p fighter and will still be able to get some good paydays. In fact, the brook fight will probably happen after the Crawford fight. Especially if Khan makes it remotely competetitve while he’s still on his feet in the ring against Crawford.
Do you think delusional Khan would have even moved up to challenge Hagler in his era?! Wouldn`t put it past him he thinks he`s today`s Ray Leonard!
Top of the sport again? Pac and Mayweather were the top guys while Khan picked up his losses, Bud is rated by the ring magazine as the No.1 P4P fighter in the world, Khan has never even been rated in the top 10 P4P.
