    I think Bud takes his time and gives him a methodical beating more then likely looks like the Horn fight. Hopefully he gets the boogie man late 2019.

    No version of Khan ever beats Crawford.

    Khan will no doubt do well early on as Crawford is a slow starter and will take a few rounds to get used to Khan's speed. But Khan will do what he always does and eventually he'll either over commit with one of his combinations and get caught or his opponent will begin to time him and slip in counters after Khan leads. Khan's just too predictable, eventually any fighter with decent ring intelligence figures him out and takes him out.

    This will go similar to Crawford vs Gamboa.

    Lol, Khan is DEFINITELY not bigger than Crawford and no matter what shape he is in, he is going to get WORKED. I'm a huge fan of both but do like Crawford more and he is without a doubt the better fighter. I have no idea what the hell Khan was thinking taking this fight. And Crawford is the type of dude who will sadistically prolong the fight and beat the tar out of Khan over the course if Khan runs his mouth leading up to the fight. And leave no doubt, Khan WILL run his mouth because thats what he does. I have no interest in watching Khan get his crank knocked loose and dog walked over 12 rounds.

    Crawford never dealt with a boxer as skilled or fast as khan of a similar weight. The closest was Gamboa.

    Look Crawford is suppose to beat him and if I had to bet I’d bet 100/100 on Crawford. But khan is so underrated I wouldn’t be the least beat surprised if he outboxes Crawford to a decision whilst getting dropped a couple of times on the way.

    If khan is in Alexander shape he outboxes Crawford, it’s just a question of if khan can survive the power and accuracy of Crawford. Crawford could also switch up his strategy and just maul Khan. In a pure tactical boxing match it’s 60/40 in Khan’s favour, Guy is fast and has the Olympian medalist boxing skills.

    There`s only been a few olympic medalist that can match Bud`s skills in the ring, Khan has never met a swith hitter like Bud.

    The key word when describing Khan's boxing is IF.

    IF Khan can get in top form, IF Khan had a chin, IF Khan was durable, IF Khan never took that punch etc etc.

    Crawford by KO

    Bud would win the olympics if he was allowed to compete in the next games and is far more skilled than Maidana was when he fought in his messy brawl v Khan, if Amir gets hit as much as he did in that bout he`ll be knocked out, Bud hits harder than Maidana did,. he`s more like Hearns in terms of being a sharp shooter, his shots are far better timed than Maidana, he`s on another level to every fighter you mentioned, none of them were ever rated at the top of the P4P ratings like Bud is now along with Loma who would have toyed with Khan at lightweight.

    Gamboa was more disciplined than Khan will be against Crawford, he`ll have to concentrate 100% of the time during the fight and his focus has been dreadgul in all his losses, yes he was too weak and fragile to fight a middlewieght but Canelo also suckered Khan by going to the body then feinting to the body and going upstairs with the right, the same thing AJ did to Povetkin, some fighters just can`t read an opponent, Khan has no ring IQ.

    The difference will be that Khan is more fragile than Horn, Amir would never has survived being hurt by Manny the way Horn did in the 9th.

    Yeah Crawford is well known to walk around at light heavy for Christ sake, he's naturally bigger than Khan. Khan fans are as deluded as Khan they'll cling to any weird thing to try and make a case for Khan winning.

    So true. Khan lives off his speed but he's never been what I call a cerebral fighter, he just goes in there and does what he always does, he can't adapt and doesn't even try to because usually his speed is enough for him to have some success.

    Canelo was very obviously figuring him out and was gradually beginning to time him and started to counter more and more as Khan's attacks became more predictable. Khan always leads, you never need to chase Khan he'll always come to you eventually and throw and eventually that just becomes a tell for an opponent to counter and that's what happened with Canelo. Khan led with the weak double jab and Canelo sparked him out.
