    Crawford isn't a one punch KO artist, but since when have you needed to be one to beat Khan? He still has more than enough power to stop Khan.

    Let's not forget Crawford has a mean streak, and WILL finish Khan if he has him hurt.

    I feel like Ive heard this before. How many times does Khan need to be knocked out for his delusional fans to drop this act.

    Thing is, that's not the same Khan anymore.

    That was kind of what I meant. That Crawford isn't just a boxer, he is happy to go after an opponent if need be.

    People with the surname Khan pushed the Russians out of Afghanistan and even the mighty American military/democracy machine couldn't defeat them despite trying since 2001. Infact, the Trump administration is now courting the Taliban in negotiations to broker peace :lol:

    Bud is going to give him a methodical beat down , it been said on this site many times great fighters break there opponents down systematically and Bud is one of the best right now. So looking forward to this fight I think he wants to one up Spence this weekend.

    Every version of Khan gets stopped tonight. His pre fight talk has pissed off Bud who has an aura of menace around him.

    Not really. He’s still chinny, too sloppy and flawed, and against a guy who hits harder than Alexander. Crawford is just better than Khan ever was, and the fact that it’s this version of Khan makes it a giant mismatch.

    Alexander only had 20% of the talent Bud has.

    Crawford would have destroyed Paulie earlier than Khan did.

    Malignaggi was a light hitter and the perfect type of opponent for Khan. Even in his prime, Khan had a ton of technical flaws and got by on his speed and range. Very fast hands, solid jab, decent power, but guys would time him and he would often lose composure and get flustered. Purposeful, economic movement would turn to wasted movement. Educated combos would turn to arm flurries. And other weaknesses such as his defense and lack of infighting would really show.
