Crawford vs Khan 20/4/2019 BT Sport Radio 5 Live

Please make it happen.

Who cares about Brook..Khan has a chance to jump right into a winnable fight against one of the p4p best.

[Alpha]

This is better than Collazo, but not by much. Khan running from Brook again as usual.

Khan going to sleep again if it comes together.

[Primo Carnera]

“Winnable for Khan” ? Really? Obviously it’s a better fight than Collazo, because Khan beat Collazo not so long ago in one of his other comebacks.
I’m not a Khan fan so I always see the worst , but I’d be a hypocrite if I criticised him for this. It’s a meaningful fight for a title. I don’t think he has a hope in hell, but what I think doesn’t matter.
I’m more pissed off that Crawford , who I rate extremely highly in the p4p lists , is associated with taking on either of these very unsatisfactory opponents . I think either one is a mismatch and does nothing for his career. Very disappointing.

I feel that Khan would be better off fighting Brook than Crawford. At least with Brook he has the whole UK rivalry and could still make a lot of money off of it. If he fights Crawford, he will just be another person on Crawford’s victim list.

I posted in one of the other threads that Top Rank had offered Angel Garcia 3 mil for Danny to face Crawford in Mar but they hadn't heard anything back. This was about a month ago I guess, I think that's why Collazo's name came into the mix as a back up plan. Now Khan is on the menu.

Either way we have all these top welters and no ones fighting each other.

Exactly. Khan-Crawford makes little sense, and just postpones the grudge match everyone wants to see. Well.... has wanted to see, anyway. Don't know how long it takes for that to whittle down also.

Khan has always "wanted" to fight everyone on the planet EXCEPT for Brook. Maddening.

[Kirkland Laing]

Khan would make Crawford look spectacular. I have a feeling this is just a negotiating tactic. Surely he's going to take the Brook fight. It's a matter of time till he gets divorced if he isn't getting divorced already and he's going to need the money. Crawford is not PPV Alvarez and he's Arum/ESPN which means there's a limited budget for any Crawford opponent, not to mention being on the end of a one sided arse kicking.

[imp]

Khan is the A side.

Watching Brook fight is painful at times.

Khan is the one trying to chase greatness and hopefully going after Crawford...Brook is chasing Khan rather than chasing a world title to put himself in a better position.

Brook leaves the ingle gym and looks flat as anything..wonder why he left and the change in performance.. mmmmm.

[imp]

Khan and Brook is on the slide so we can’t blame Khan for considering other options...

[imp]

Khan is now a natural 147 fighter and he creates excitement in his fights..Crawford would be a great fight.

[Master]

Khan faked this fight, no way will he take on Crawford. He will want Manny or Danny Garcia.

It is very frustrating.

147 is arguably the best division in boxing, yet, with exception of Shawn Porter, who would fight the Devil & Thanos in consecutive nights, all the big dogs have managed to avoid fighting each other.

Even Amir Khan (who isn't a big dog) managed to pee away a lot of his prime, lying idle for years, when there were cracking fights for him out there.

At least he has now, somewhat belatedly, realised there are some big fights for him out there at 147

Seems to me like there is some smoke to all of this Khan v Crawford shit.

To me: Crawford can USE the pay day. Sadly, Khan can get him that top dollar. But Khan does not deserve a title shot atm!

[Spicoli]

Again, better than Collazo . Khan is the kind of customer who is always "just looking" while distracting you from other shoppers and never fully commits to a real sale. Crawford would retire him.

I dunno how Khan does it? Ya know? Kinda talks himself right back into big money fights without doing fuck all for it. It's like his last brutal KO was just an accident.... Ya know!?


Khan should have been done from the Danny Garcia KO. But here we are again- With talks of, possibly, a multi-million dollar payday for him and probably gonna be the largest, single payday for Crawford to date if he takes it too.

This is EASILY a $5 mil fight for Crawford and about $4 for Khan- Maybe more both ways.

But let's see how he dispatches Collazo.
