    I hope he can make it interesting before he gets knocked out. Like Gamboa did.

    He gets credit for taking the fight but has the slimmest of chances actually winning.

    Khan in his own admission says he didn't do much strength and conditioning work for his last fight
    So he is likely to come in top form for this 1

    Not me, i expect it to go the way it usually goes when Khan fights elite level fighters. He will start fast, Crawford will stay cautious and look at the speed and the layout, Khan will win those early rounds, people will start getting a bit excited about the fact Khan won the 1st 3 rounds and then Crawford will of sussed Khan out, win the next couple of rounds, get close with a couple of big shots then BANG. 5th or 6th round game over.

    The result of this fight is pretty predictable.

    Crawford as always will start slow and take about 3 rounds to have a look at Khan and get his timing and distance down, while Khan will as always start fast and win the early rounds.

    But Khan only has one trick, speed and once his opponent can time his attacks they will counter him and KO him. Crawford by mid round KO.

    Answering "yes" to this question always requires "but..." and "if only...". :smile:

    Khan usually performs well when the deck is totally stacked against him and he is motivated.

    Against C-grade fighters is when he has looked at his worst. Against A-grade opposition he usually does very well until he gets brain fade.

    So you are saying there is a 0% chance of Khan winning the fight? Not even 5%, 10% 15%? You are saying there is no conceivable way of Khan getting a win?

    Exactly! Khan ain't what he used to be, but he can have a good night, chances are he won't against Crawford. Just answering the OP.

    I've been a HUGE Khan fan since the first time I ever saw him throw hands, back when he was an amateur. I've been there and had his back through all his successes and failures. Ive always been such a big fan of his that I actually give a **** about him outside of boxing. I hope he lives a healthy and fulfilling life after he retires. But he needs to retire like yesterday, or for God's sake I hope he comes to his senses and retires before Crawford puts his mitts on him.

    As a huge fan of both, I'm taking my fan bias out of this equation and saying this as an objective Observer: Crawdad is gonna beat the brakes off this dude, gruesomely.

    Khan beats Crawford if it goes the distance. No one will out box Khan.

    He will do OK till round 4 and his speed starts to drop. Then his mistakes will kreep in and he will get sparked.
    Khan's brilliant against lefties but he's washed up. Vargas land big shots but he's a non puncher, Crawford does that its lights out sooner or later

    If Crawford had caught Khan like that before the Canelo bout Khan would have been knocked out also, Khan was knocked ouby a lightweight and Garcia.

    The blueprint on how to catch and KO Khan was shown by Canelo.
