    If Garcia and Canelo could time Khan, Crawford definitely can.

    D.Garcia throws with his opponents and holds his feet which Crawford isn't inclined to do. Crawford hasn't got the toughness in him Garcia has shown or raw brutal strength.

    Canelo? Dude was just playing with Khan like a deer against a wolf. Not a good comparison.

    Think Garcia worked out to throw when khan does
    Worth rembering his offence Is a bit different now to it was then
    With roach he would unload a 5 combination
    With hunter it's a bit more selective and less

    You are likely right. My 20% chance comes from the fantasy land of fair and objective judging.

    Garcia Khan was the perfect storm for Khan to lose.

    This is the problem.

    Khan pulls off the upset after finding old form on a close decision say 114-112

    Arum judges are not giving it to him.

    I doubt he will win, but it will be a first for Bud as well to fight someone naturally a bit bigger than him with speed to match.

    The Alexander fight was almost 5 years ago. Since then, Khan's been brutally knocked out, had a 2 year break, and looked less than impressive against Algieri and Vargas. I also thought he looked noticeably slower in the Vargas fight.

    I don't know if the Khan of the Alexander fight still exists.

    There's also the simple fact that Khan's style tends to not age well, and without his speed, he's just a fighter with a weak chin and poor ring IQ.

    Yep.. Weigh in about to happen... If Khan in tip top shape . Crawford in trouble.. What will happen on here when Khan just takes Crawford best shots and nothing happens?

    So many Khan haters, a game fit Khan beats this over hyped American fighter.. If Khan beats this P4P no. 1 fighter in the world . What does that make Khan? Lol

    I predict Khan will be winning on our scorecards and then middle of the 7th or early 8th round Bud will time him perfectly and end the night.
    Scorecards from ESB at the time will be like:
    Khan 68/65 Bud
    TKO or KO from Bud

    Ringside scorecards will be very close maybe 67/66 Bud.

    If Broner let his hands go he'd beat both

    Crawford isn't Devon Alexander.

    Khan will always look very good against a certain type of fighter, defensive minded technical sorts, who won't come to him, don't have the power to hurt him. and who he can beat using speed. Read Alexander, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, Collazo. Unfortunately, Crawford is a smart, multidimensional fighter who has KO'd most of his world title opponents and can match him for speed (maybe not the Khan of a few years ago, but I think he's lost a few steps).

    I think Khan will probably make it interesting for a while as he did against Canelo, but ultimately can't see him winning.
