    Not unless Crawford is another Alexander in disguise although Alexander had already been exposed

    Absolutely. IF (I know I know) Khan doesn't get hurt or KO'd he could win on points. Not saying he will, but I give him a 20% shot in this fight.

    No way Khan wins a decision in Top Rank territory

    I believe khan just gave himself 100% more of a Chance to win, that chance could be around 80/20 or 25/75...

    Khan has to go too long with vicious shots winging through him all night. Be khans greatest ever performance just by being competitive with bud...

    Will he or will he not ?

    The Khan from his own delusions has to show up for him to beat Crawford.

    The Khan from the Alexander fight is the same Khan that dominated Collazo but went life and death with Kid Diaz and Chris Algieri..................:nonono

    He'll get starched. You can't train a chin. Glass WILL shatter in this fight, bet the farm on it.

    Crawford is so overrated it's unreal. Boxing is boxing there is nothing special to it. You punch another man in the face and try not to get hit yourself. Khan is pretty good at that first bit which is overwhelming for many early.

    Crawford has all the skills and IQ to dismantle everyone but Spence who has every physical attribute over Crawford excluding speed maybe.

    Khan doesn't fall over from an opponents skills or ring IQ, He falls over when it gets put on him which Crawford is way too composed and disciplined to even bother with in till he hurts Khan with a nice counter.

    Khan is going to shock a lot of people here especially early.

    Khan has 50x the offensive ability of Horn and Postol. He has twice the size of Gamboa. He's not the rest of the dossers on Crawford's resume.

    Benevidez was probably Crawford's best win. Again though...Benevidez is a counterpuncher out of a big tall frame but doesn't fight on the backfoot really but comes forwards. Khan would have more issues with Benevidez than Crawford!

    What it comes down to is Khan's style just isn't really great for Crawford. It's never been good for pure boxers.

    But Khan is over the hill...if he wasn't Crawford would be in a world of heat tomorrow. Arum has underestimated Khan and so have many of you.

    mark my words.

    After 6 rounds tomorrow you will all be saying, If only Khan had more left in the tank he could pull this off.

    Before I sign off I will enlighten you with this final statement: Fury would school maybe even TKO AJ. Easily.

    Khan of the Malignaggi fight (his best performance imo) would beat Crawford at 140. He eats boxer types up for breakfast in his prime, his speed is to much for them. But now I'd favour Crawford 90-10
    I've never seen the Devon Alexander fight so I don't know

    Crawford isn't a pure boxer.

    Watching him shutdown Horn and Benevidez i'd say he sure is & the way he boxed gamboa when he could have simply tried to impose his will on him like SPENCE DOES to a lot of guys.

    Sure he has moments of pure fighting...but we saw the same from Floyd back in his 135/140 days
