Khan's mouth also runs more than a Kenyan marathoner, so I'll be rooting for a Crawford KTFO win. But please, PLEEEEEEEASE................. stop using the Canelo-Khan fight as proof that Khan deserves anything. That circus ran exactly as programmed.
    Are you saying Canelo is crap because he lost to Floyd? Or just crap regardless? It's not really clear whether or not you hate Canelo?

    I shouldn't have to explain this, but I'm not saying he's crap because he lost to Floyd. Many great fighters and boxers have lost to Floyd. It's the way he lost. Try to embrace the concept.

    Before the fight, many people including myself questioned why had Canelo "earned the right" to be facing Floyd. After the fight ended and Canelo had barely laid a glove on Floyd, missing by a few feet on occasions, it was like a "See, I told you so" kind of deal.

    Hate has nothing to do with it.

    So to pump up Khan by simultaneously pumping up Canelo is ridiculous. Did anyone with half a boxing mind doubt that Khan was going to box Canelo's ears off before getting knocked unconscious? Hint: answer "No."

    This will be like Crawford-Gamboa. Crawford takes awhile to get going and gets caught early, but I don’t think khan will have enough fire power to stop Terence early, and eventually/ probably relatively early Crawford will take over the fight and stop khan

    Terence Crawford, quite arguably one of boxing's pound-for-pound best, returns for the first time in 2019 to put his WBO welterweight championship on the line in taking on former unified junior welterweight champion Amir Khan on Saturday, April 20, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    After notching a third-round destruction of Julius Indongo in August 2017 to become the undisputed junior welterweight champion, Crawford (34-0, 25 KOs) moved up to 147 pounds last June and hasn't looked back. The 31-year-old battered Jeff Horn to win by ninth-round TKO and capture the WBO belt. He went on to successfully defend the title in October, stopping José Benavidez Jr. with 18 seconds left.

    With a lack of challengers at welterweight in the Top Rank stable, Crawford needed someone to help establish him as a force to be reckoned with. Boxing fans wanted Crawford to face IBF titlist Errol Spence Jr. to see who the king of the division and the sport would be. Spence fought Mikey Garcia in March instead, so Crawford went to one of the biggest names in the game.

    Enter Amir Khan, the challenger from England.

    Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) returns to the United States for the first time since he lost by sixth-round knockout to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in May 2016. Following the fight, Khan took nearly a two-year hiatus and has beaten Phil LoGreco and Samuel Vargas in his native England.

    Khan won the 140-pound WBA title from Andreas Kotelnik in July 2009. The 32-year-old made four straight defenses of the belt before adding the IBF strap in when he scored a fifth-round knockout of Zab Judah in July 2011.

    Boxing pundits and fans alike feel Khan has seen his better days, and Crawford will make it look rather easy. Khan possesses the experience and packs a hard enough punch to where he can give Crawford plenty of problems.

    Still, can Khan pull off the monumental upset? Or does Crawford continue to exemplify when he's one of the best in the world?
