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

[Primo Carnera]

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.

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.

So Crawford's best opponents are -

Burns - Fought Crawford coming off a loss to Beltran, had previously been battered at British level and post Crawford lost another million fights.

Gamboa - A little featherweight who was forced to move back down in weight after losing and/or struggling with everyone at 135.

Beltran - A solid fringe world-class/journeyman drugs cheat with a million losses.

Dulorme - What the!!! How does he possibly rank any higher than Khan's last opponent - Vargas? Khan literally has a dozen names with better credentials.

Postol - Claim to fame? Forced a shot Matthesye to quit then after getting schooled by Crawford got a 2nd schooling off a British prospect.

Khan's best opponents are littered with "world" champions, unified champions, multi-division champions, lineal champions, current and former P4P and HOF-amers!!!

Canelo
Maidana
Zab
Paulie
Kotelnik
Garcia
Peterson
Alexander
Collazo
Barrera
Algieri

Khan's opposition makes Crawford's look embarrassing. Fact.

those opponents were a million years ago ffs. At this rate Ricky Hatton could chop his right leg off so he can make the weight, come back and he would be "Arguably Crawford's best win!"

Hold up mate, you've named Crawford's best wins between 2014-16, right? You chose them.

During that period Khan fought Collazo, Alexander, Algieri and Canelo?

You quite simply can't deny that Khan has superior credentials to anyone Crawford has faced, whether it be a million years ago or now. Fact.

Collazo , Alexander and maybe even Algieri were completely washed up and not contenders at the time Khan fought them. they weren't fighting him for World Titles. (Unless you're now gonna try to convince me that "International and Silver" Titles are World titles!)
and what is the fascination with Quoting Canelo all the time? Canelo fucking knocked him out stone fucking cold! how you can use that opponent to make any sort of case for Khan? you do know Khan lost that fight don't You? and how!!!
So yes, Crawford's World Title fights AND WINS were better . And the guys he fought were fighting for the World Title , at least 1 , maybe 2 or 3 were existing Title holders.
in a nutshell, beating Amir Khan at this stage of his career, so long since he had a meaningful fight is NOT one of Crawford's "Best wins" FACT.
