    I don`t think it will be fight of the year because Khan will be showing the same movement he did v Canelo, if he doesn`t the end will come even sooner, no way is Khan going to be throwing a lot of punches in this one, he will have to be wary of Crawford`s counters

    Both are smart boxers, I feel it will be a tentative fight until Crawford works Khan out.

    Khan better not try and KO Crawford, Bud is more powerful and Khan has a weak chin.

    No, he cannot win this fight.

    Is it conceivable that he goes the full 12 and his speed and combos land more leather on Crawford than has happened in his whole career? Yes.

    I never bought this fallacy that Khan has the worst chin in boxing. Breideis Presscot could BOMB. Garia landed a left hook BOMB. Canelo landed a BOMB.

    The question is, has Khan learned to tuck his chin and get out of the firing line in time? The answer is that old dogs don't learn new tricks. He's on his fourth trainer now. Nobody has instilled these lessons in him.

    I'd argue it was set by Danny Garcia but they are all valid

    Agreed!
    Khans best chance is to use his speed and box. Crawford is on the way up, Khan is going down. By all rights, Crawrord should win this without any major issues. If Crawford ain't what we think he is, Khan should expose something. We will see!

    Khan has only lost once last six years and it was to a roided LHW who managed to pull off a lucky hail mary while Khan was schooling him. Think Khan hand handle Crawford well enough. Khan by MD (cooked 114-114 card).

    To say Khan has no chance is ridiculous. Let me break this down:

    Crawford has not fought anyone at Welterweight. He has a great resume at LWW though. Khan is an incredible boxer, I would favor him to beat anyone if he had any semblance of a chin....which is obviously a big part of the game. Let's not forget, Khan was starched by a Middleweight. He also looked great before that happened. Crawford is a stud, a big hitter, but he is a WW. Khan is most comfortable there. I think he loses by late stoppage, but I would not be shocked if he won.

    Is Khan shot to smithereens after eating that savage HL Clenbuterol bomb from a 190lb juiced to high heaven Clenelo?

    Yes.

    Is Khan's punch resistance no longer what it once was since eating said HL reel Clenbuterol bomb from a 190lb juiced Clenelo?

    Absolutely.

    But despite Khan being shot to bits and his chin being cracked, would it be fair to say that he still possess the fastest hands in the game, like supernaturally humming bird wings flapping fast?

    No question about it.

    Does Cuban leprechaun Gamboa also possess blurring hand speed?

    Yes he does Serge.

    Was Bud Crawford rocked down to his soul and made to do a little chicken dance by an innocuous right hand from said Cuban leprechaun who was literally half the size of him and did it take at least 60 seconds for Bud's head to clear properly?

    Yes to both.

    Does 126lb garden gnome GRJ also have supernatural hand speed?

    They say he has the fastest hands in the game, Serge.

    And did said garden gnome spark out Bud in a street fight?

    Correct.

    So therefore would it be fair to say that Bud's Achilles heel are opponents with blazing fast hand speed?

    Yes it would Serge, opponent's with blazing fast hand speed and just A and B level opponents in general, hence why he dines exclusively at the C Level Cafe.

    Thank you very much, you may now step down from the witness stand.

    This fight going the distance despite what most are saying lol..

    I mean Crawford is not a big 147 guy Khan is bigger than him and been at 147 for a while now Crawford a 135-140 guy really.

    Khan even has a chance to hurt him..

    Khan deffo has a chance..
