    As everyone has said, Crolla is clearly the bigger underdog, Khan has mixed it at a similar level to Crawford whereas Crolla is nowhere near Lomachenko's level.

    Crolla.
    There's no path to victory for him besides a freak accident. Khan will very probably be sparked, but he at least has fought at that level and surprise a bit due to his speed.
    If everything comes together for him and Crawford has an off night, he might shock the world... not much chance of it happening, but at least there is one.

    I can't see Khan lasting the distance, but if he does he could well win. Crolla hasn't got it in him to KO Loma so I don't give him a chance as he'd never be able to outbox him for more rounds than he doesn't.

    Crolla - not even a debate.

    But good on him taking on the biggest challenge out there, he's headlining at the very elite level - fair ****s to him.

    If crolla wins it will be the biggest upset in the history of life. I give Khan about 5% chance.

    For Crolla, the chances are about the same as Billy Nelson winning slimmer of the year 2020 and successfully defending his title in 2021.

    Crolla is easily the bigger underdog. Why is this even a question?

    I don't give either a chance to win.
    I expect Khan to be more comparative and he will probably win some of the early rounds but out of the two I expect Khan to get stopped first.
    Crolla might pick up a round in the first half of the fight as there will be a time he comes out firing to give it a go but I just don't see either Brits seeing the last rd.

    Who is the nicest guy though? That is the question you all should be asking. Who is such a great great guy, really humble and down to earth?

    Would Crolla beating Lomachenko be more shocking and/or better than Leicester winning the Premiership in 2016?
