Welterweight is one of the most talent stacked division in boxing and despite that, division sucks ....
Ain't it just.
A division stacked in a way it hasn't been for 30 years and Sean Porter aside, all the big dogs still manage not to fight each other.

Pointless in terms of competition. Well, Khan can look decent early, but the guy with the skillset of Crawford will deliver a KO punch to Khan's glass jaw pretty quick.
That's actually how I see it. I think Khan will look fantastic early and then probably get stopped. People seem to forget Crawford/Dulorme. Dulorme was doing very good with his speed until his awful chin got tagged. Also, Gamboa was giving Crawford issues early.
It's a fight Crawford can't lose because he's facing another chinny, fast guy, but I think Khan will make him look bad for a while. I'm actually pretty hyped. I think Khan is probably Crawford's best/toughest opponent so far, which is a testament to his awful resume.
Although Khan will be his best opponent only in the terms of the name.
You don't think skill too? Who do you think Khan loses to on Crawford's resume? Off the top of my head, only ones that have a puncher's chance are Beltran and Molina because they can land a sweet shot with power. Still, Khan fought and beat a substantially better fighter than both in Maidana. Other than those with a puncher's chance, Khan goes undefeated.

It’s a more intriguing match up then v collazo however odds are it won’t be competitive. Khan got dropped and bullied by Samuel Vargas his last outing. He scrapped a thin win and did so by running for a good portion of the last half. Khans athletism seems to have diminished - not completely but he’s not the khan that fought Maidana. Khan is all athletism rather than ring savvy. Crawford is both intelligent and would have the athletic advantages at this stage. Khan will be out matched.

Skill too. But he just can't fully display it, he gets tagged, everything gets spoiled. It'll repeat in this case for sure, Crawford is a one to use opportunitis.
