Khan’s ridiculously chinny, always has been.

oogiebe wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 18:17 I agree with Jam. Defensive lapses are magnified when you have a weak chin.

Yeah I agree of course he has a poor chin but the combination of poor chin plus defensive lapses spells disaster for him Even guys with granite chins can’t afford to take multiple flush shots from punchers.

I think of someone like a Tommy Hearns who also didn’t have the best chin but often avoided taking “flush” shots and in his prime only lost to two ATGs. Obviously on a completely different level to Khan as a fighter.

This is such a pointless fight that I might not buy it. And I usually buy everything.

not worth buying, Khan is getting stopped !

RD 1: Khans looking fast and landing some nice jabs and right hands, moving well

RD 2: Khan still looking good, bladdy hell he could win this.

RD 3: Crawford times some decent shots but still a Khan round. Go on Amir!

RD 4: Go on Khan, go on khan, go on ..... oh dear.

Timing and a boxing brain beats speed unfortunately for Khan. But I admire his willingness to go for these fights.

That's how I see it, but not so much of Khan able to take rounds.

Is Khan better than Crawford in any way? Does he edge handspeed? That about it?

Yeah Crawford is really, really special. I think he could end up as an ATG. I remember when he systematically beat up Burns to win his first world title. I remember thinking, “Damn this guy can do it all.” I also remember thinking he must be killing himself to make lightweight he looked really emaciated at that weight. Hopefully he gets the opportunity vs Spence etc to prove how great he is.

Seriously! Crawford is special as you said. Damn good resume to go along with killer skills. Spence/Crawford would be a great fight, and I'll take Crawford to beat him, even though I'm a mad Spence fan.

BT doing what they can to promote the PPV.

Khan might win the 1st round if Crawford comes out having a look. If not he he won't win a round before getting stopped in the 4th

Khan looked shot in his last fight & now he's going in with one of the best around at the moment? This can only end one way.

I see it similar - I don’t really like Amir Khan but one thing I would credit him with is taking on the best when others ducked - Canelo/Crawford/Garcia etc....

Least Khan takes proper fights - we all know the outcome but at least he's got the stones to take em

Probably has better hand speed when he's moving in and out of range. Bud is also fast but he's very accurate with it!

I think Crawford is the best fighter in the game at the moment. Him v Spence surely couldn't fail to be an absolute stormer!

Yeah Crawfords the man for me too, Spence is solid but hasn’t got the extra quality bud has, as for Khan, he’s a long way from his prime now and should get dealt with in the second half, will have a good go though like he always does

Honestly how can anyone call themselves a boxing fan and not love Amir Khan?
I’d like to see him win but like most others I am expecting him to start well, Crawford to gradually increase the pressure and get a stoppage. I see it going 6-8 rounds.

He always comes to fight and he's always a good watch, win, lose, or draw (or get KTFO)!

Yeah agree there pug. Khan will cause anyone problems short term. He'll eventually get caught over the championship distance though. Crawford is top class. He likes a tear up as well.
