Just look at the guys Canelo completly and utterly outclasses, Khan gave him weight and held his own until the inevitable. Let alone the world-class fighters he's beat.
come on ffs. While I don’t have much of a problem with this fight , let’s not try to make out that he deserves it . Loads of fights on his record will be better wins than this.
And as for the Canelo thing, he didn’t do anything special and then got spectacularly KO’d as expected.
Take your personal feelings for Khan out of it then pick any fighter on Crawford's record who can boast a winning record of 9-2 against world-class opposition?
Canelo
Maidana
Zab
Paulie
Kotelnik
Garcia
Peterson
Alexander
Collazo
Barrera
Algieri
I don't care about "deserve" or even if Khan can win, I am merely pointing out he will be Crawford's biggest and best name. And contrary to what many claim, you quite simply can't beat that many world-class fighters without being seriously top-drawer yourself.
The point I highlighted was that this will be "arguably Crawford's best win." I'm sorry, but that's bullshit, and that's why I'm arguing it.
forget about "all our yesterdays" and what he was in the past , at this moment in time I don't see how Khan can be rated in the 10 best WW's on the planet based on what he has ACTUALLY done in the ring of late.
and you're telling me that Crawford beating a guy who isn't even in the top 10 is a better victory than beating a World Champion convincingly for the title in their own Back Yard (Burns) or beating highly ranked opponents like Gamboa , Beltran and Dulorme. Or going up in weight and beating Viktor Postol, or even taking a title from a guy who beat Manny Pacquiao!
Like I said, I'm not against the fight, from Khan's side , because he's fighting a top guy for a World Title, best of luck to him. From Crawford's side , Khan has to be a better opponent than Collazo because Khan beat him.
But let's not hype up Khan , or even perhaps discredit Crawford with comments like this being Crawford's best win.
and finally, again, let's not put all the bells and whistles on Khan's performance against Canelo because he won a fucking round or two. Canelo just stalked Khan a bit like a bull and a matador until Canelo caught up with him. it was ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN LIKE THAT!
no disrespect, but This is the same horseshit argument as when people saying Khan was winning against Danny Garcia before he got KO'd!!!!! it's ludicrous.
Normally you can't completely discount a fighter's chances because any Boxer should have a puncher's chance, but I don't even think Khan has that chance.
I honestly believe that the only chance Khan has got is if Crawford gets injured in the fight (shoulder or something) and Khan is fighting an invalid. But good luck to him nonetheless.
