    Khan outboxes him easy. Mikeys power is not that great.

    Khan has the height, reach, speed and skills advantage.

    Mikey has to KO him and that would be hard to do, he’s not as sharp or as long as Crawford.

    Mikey would KO him in 8.

    Khan by UD.
    There might be a wobble or dance though.

    Don't start comparing Mikey to Crawford please.

    Khan by wide UD.

    Trying to picture the fight, I don’t see how Mikey can get to khan with khans reach and height advantage. It’s the perfect stylistic matchup for khan. If he can’t even beat Mikey, he seriously needs to quit.

    Mikey hits hard for a LW and he might wobble khan, but it’s not Crawford like power that will put fear in him and make him very hesitant. You could tell khan was afraid of crawfords power, he was afraid to throw and get countered hard.

    Khans another one who wasted his prime years chasing the big fights; Floyd, Pac and fighting guys who he had no business with; Canelo, Crawford.

    He would have done much better in his career if he just kept stacking B-C level names. And even some A’s he may have had a chance against.

    Mikey, Broner, Vargas, Linares, Bradley, JMM etc. So many “winnable” fights for him which could have added to his legacy.

    Now we’ll never know if he could have taken a Bradley, or a mikey, or even a JMM. There were fights where he looked stupidly impressive.

    The fascination with hackmeer continues.

    Khan wilts before the 10th and is ktfo. It only takes a strong breeze let alone a solid right cross.

    Mikey delivers here.

    So why didn’t Maidana or Judah stop him?

    Mikey doesn't have the power at WW to catch Khan. It'll look a lot like Spence vs Mikey. Khan just too busy and quick for Mikey. UD for Khan.
