    What do you guys think the chances of this happening? A complete switch of hands on the WW top 3.

    I feel like Khan could very well outbox Crawford to a 12 round decision if he survives.
    If Mikey carries his chin and power, he could beat Spence in a tough fight.
    Pac will most likely beat Thurman.

    In order of what is most likely to happen, I rank it:
    Pac > Thurman
    Khan > Crawford
    Garcia > Spence

    Garcia > Spence is hard because Spence would outbox Garcia with his height, so Garcia needs to have more power and chin to beat Spence in a fight, which is doubtful given that Garcia couldn't even dent Broner when he was able to unload on him. Porter, Maidana and Pac hurt Broner much more.

    Khan is a supreme boxer, he can outbox Crawford, its just a case of if he can survive.

    I dunno about that. The shorter Gamboa was boxing Crawfords ears off till he gassed, so the shorter man can outbox the longer man. They both (Garcia/Spence) will be roided to the gills so who knows how things will play out.

    As for Khan, I dont think he's a supreme boxer as he really only has a 1-2 combo that gets old after a few rounds. The better boxers will figure this out and ignore his arsenal. That's when he gets ktfo. Thurman I think is ripe for Pac. Thurman doesn't have the best defense on the back foot and he blocks with his head way too much. Doing that vs Pac is not a great idea.

    Kahn is getting stretched and he won’t be winning.
    Case closed

    Gamboa is a gold medalist with serious speed. Garcia is average speed with the fundamentals down, but so does Spence, except he’s much taller.

    The way Khan outboxed alexander, malignaggi, Judah, collazo, nobody every outboxed them that badly before or after.

    FACT: Gamboa was competitive with Crawford for THREE rounds. He lost the 4th and 5th and was down four times 6-9. He was completely knocked off the ground to end the fight. It was Crawford's first defense and Gamboa was undefeated. You have a right to your opinion but NOT to alter the facts.
