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

Arguably Khan will be Crawford's best win, certainly his most high profile. And Khan has always done great with boxers.

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.

If this were a prime Khan you could be right. Khan would for sure be the biggest name Crawford hasn’t fought, but not the best fighter at this point in Khan’s career.

My point about Canelo - which went over some heads, as usual () - is everyone thought Khan was past it then and KNEW he was going to get ironed out in a mismatch, however, he won rounds against a P4P dude even giving away all the advantages.

He will obviously prepare for Crawford much more diligently than his comeback warmups, therefore a fully tuned up Khan has enough credentials to give Crawford a better fight than most expect. This time at least he'll be fighting a man the same size who might need more than one punch to send him into outer space.

There's far more predictable fights on the table for Crawford than Khan's speed and pedigree.
