    Na. No chance, anything can happen between two human beings in a one off fight. That was 11v11 38 times across 9 months whoever wins the league is the best team. End of. More likely that the best fighter, no matter by what margin, loses the fight.

    I agree actually. But just putting the question out there since I've seen "biggest upset of all time" been said loads on Twitter. As you say anything can happen in a one off match but to do it over a whole season, is a different kettle of fish. Leicester doing that will be hard to beat in all sports.

    Absolutely mate.

    Iceland beating England was even more shocking at the time for a single game but Leicester's achievement was amazing.

    $2 Crolla winning would be a huge upset but not if for example Loma's shoulder pops out in round 1

    Crolla all day long. At least Khan will have some small advantages in pedigree, hand speed and size.

    They both have 0% chance. A better question would be who has more chance of surviving to the final bell? but that would almost certainly be Crolla because Khans punch resistance is abysmal.

    But at least Crolla is a current top 10 in his division and mandatory and has been a world champion in recent years, Khan doesn't even deserve a shot at Crawford, he hasn't even won a world title fight since July 2011!!!

    Crolla has mixed it at world level too, he was impressive in his world title victories against Perez and Barroso.
    And him mixing it at world level was far more recent than Khan, Britain must have had about 30 world champions since Khan last had a belt LOL.

    Khan was never ever a 'top top fighter' LOL, and Khan is nowhere near Crawfords level

    I do agree though mate. Crolla winning this would be crazy! I just don’t know how he can try and go about getting the win.

    A freak injury to Lomachenko is probably the only way he could realistically win.

    Crolla is annoying me because he isnt even talking like he can win the fight. He keeps saying "it's great to be out here, I'm going to give it a shot, it's an honour to share the ring with him" etc. Same **** Rocky Fielding was saying before the Canelo fight. These fighters are HAPPY to lose.

    At least Khan believes he can win.

    Of course he was a top fighter, hes an Olympic medalist and mixed it with the very best. I’m not saying he’s on Crawford’s level, but he has a lot better chance than Crolla, who has had a career of overachieving

    Olympic Medalists from GB in recent times= Anthony Joshua ( Gold), Luke Campbell (Gold), Audley Harrison (Gold), James Degale (Gold), Fred Evans (Silver), Tony Jeffries (Bronze), Anthony Ogogo (Bronze), David Price (Bronze)
    and World Championship medalists = Franke Gavin (Gold), Andrew Selby (Silver), Joe Murray (Bronze), Tom Stalker (Bronze) Anthony Fowler ( Bronze)

    ^quite a mixed punch of results in the pro game I'd say! ! A lot have failed.

    Like I said, they both have NO CHANCE, as you'll see very soon. Khan may have mixed it for a short period, but that was a hell of a long time ago, and Crawford is way better than anyone he's beat. I don't see no big difference between Khan and Crolla lol, Crolla schooled Willie Limond he won every single round with ease, whereas Khan went life and death with Limond and should have a KO loss to him cause it was a long count. You have to take Khans losses into account and who he's struggled with and how many times he's been dropped, he got KO'd in 50 seconds by a Colombian taxi driver in Prescott, lost to the mediocre Peterson, got KO'd by Danny Garcia who is nothing special at all in any way, in his very last fight he got dropped and struggled badly with Samuel Vargas ffs!
