Even if you don't think the world of Khan, it doesn't matter.

There are few truly solid names on Crawford's resume.

If Khan had something resembling a tough chin, there wouldn't be any debate about who is the best guy.

Even at Khans peak it is still no.

Khan was only 3rd best in his weight class at his peak.
Who's Crawford fought that's better though?
Gamboa and Postol, Indongo was considered very dangerous too though I think Khan at his peak would beat Postol. It was a weak 140 era a few years ago.. Crawford at 147 is less proven. Khan is well past his best and his record was made up of wins over faded names. If he was at his peak today he might be #1 at Jnr Welter. Khan is a brave fighter he has got a decent resume but I am pretty sure he TC will give him his 5th loss.

If Khan had a chin, Crawford would be in for a frustrating night. Even if Khan may be a bit past his best years.

Gamboa was definitely on the slide physically. And never showed himself to be anything close to resembling special at lightweight.
If Khan had a chin !
IF he had a chin Crawford would be his 20th defence !!

Benividez and postol gave up a chance to win over bud because of underestimating the range control. Gamboa even with the EXTRA lose to that trial horse is probably his best comp to date. Ricky burns might be a better candidate but i say that gamboa would beat Ricky who knows being that burns hasn't been stop in 50 pro fights and has held a title.
