    Just saw on Twitter someone saying the upcoming Crawford v Khan title fight will be a mis-match like Gatti v Mayweather, does anyone agree and would Khan have done better v Floyd at lightweight than Gatti did? Who was the better fighter at this weight?
    Will Khan v Crawford be a mis match like Gatti v Floyd? Also would Khan have done better at lightweight v Floyd than Gatti did? Take your nit pick.

    Extremely confused. Is this asking Gatti vs Khan or Khan vs Floyd?

    The thread title and OP do not always ask the same question?

    You should pick the winner of:
    1 Crawford vs Khan
    2 Khan vs Floyd and contrast it with Floyd vs Gatti
    3 Gatti vs Kahn

    Or just shake your head and walk slowly away

    What happened to his promise of only 1 thead a day?

    I am concerned he will have a complete meltdown and fill up the whole of page 1 with gobbledygook.

    Khan would have done a lot better against Floyd than Gatti, Gatti was a club fighter with the heart of a lion.

    Khan`s reach was better than Gatti`s also.

    Khan wouldn't do any better than Gatti, to be honest.

    Not against the 2005 version of Floyd.

    It would be a slaughter. Floyd would have stopped Khan inside of 6.

    Khan is crap. Always has been.

    Gatti. Khan could win every round and Gatti would eventually land the bomb and Khan would go to sleep.

    Khan would win every round against Gatti, and stop him in 8

    Gatti was more powerful than Khan at lightweight, but I don`t know who had a better KO ratio.

    Khan doesnt have the chin to last simple as that .
    and a prime Gatti isnt going to quit and has the power to end it if he lands.
    Sure Khan has loads more skill and speed but he hss one of the worst chins i have ever seen .Hes a threat to get stopped every time someone with power lands on him .
