    Khan is 3 years past his best and has effectively been semi retired since being banjoed by Clenelo.

    He also looked terrible against a very limited Samuel Vargas and was dropped by him.

    So as strong as Khan was in his prime, and as good as he can be in certain areas, he has no hope at this level in his present state.

    The only question is how long does it last before Khan will be needing an oxygen mask. I cannot see it going any more than a maximum of 7 rounds.

    Crawford will no doubt let Khan have his usual three round exhibition before timing him and then stopping him mid-rounds, probably while getting to his feet on jelly legs and pulling that dumb facial expression he does when badly buzzed. Prime Khan would have been a hell of a match-up for Bud, but that prime was nearly a decade ago.

    There's no doubting Khan's bravery but he has simpleton-level ring IQ - largely because his speed has papered over those cracks in the past - and physically he has declined through age and inactivity....

    No No No Sir,

    Because Canelo 170+ knocked Khan out, therefore this 170+ Crawford will do the same , because these guys saying Crawford going to knock Khan out like Canelo did..

    Crawford will stop him in the 5th or 6th round with Khan winning maybe three of those rounds. It's also possible he gets stopped once Crawford lands the first good shot on him. Either way Khan doesn't stand any chance of winning.

    Maybe Khan thinks Crawford's pointy chin is packing some glass as well?

    Yep. Khan is a smidge bigger, a smidge faster, a smidge more powerful, and more experienced at the top level. Crawford losing would not shock me, although I think he wins. It's a great fight, two HOFers the same age. People are down on Khan, but look at his losses:

    Prescott: Fluke
    Peterson: Could have gone either way ( I had Khan).
    Garica: World title fight against a good fighter.
    Canelo: Too big.


    He's lost 4 fights in 14 years.

    It's going to be a classic battle.

    If the Khan that fought Canelo turns up, anything is possible.

    In typical Khan fashion, he'll have some early success (Bud usually takes some time to get his timing down and diagnose his opponents anyways) before Bud puts him on a highlight reel.

    Khan is going to coast to a UD win, Bud too small to hurt Khan..

    Canelo landed much harder body and head shots well before the KO in round 6, Boxing is a wonderful thing, so many blind and stupid people , Bud does not even hit close to a 170+ Canelo..lool

    Khan been at 147 a while now even gone up in weight, Has Bud felt speed and power at 147??

    Does Bud have big power at 147???

    Does Bud have big fight experience????

    So many questions, Trust me Khan is motivated and he coming to take that belt and his 0..

    Nah, a fighter can come back. His chin is most likely cracked, but thats due to years of punishment.
    But his reflexes, speed and coordination are likely still there.
    What really does damage are back to back KO's.

    I think Khan will surprise a lot of people in the way he performs physically.
