The majority of former and current boxers believe that Crawford will win.
Khan, who lost to both Crawford and Canelo in his career, had this to say about the fight:
“It’s a great fight for the fans,” Khan said. “If it comes down to being a boxer and moving around, I got Crawford destroying Canelo easily. Canelo has to dig deep and go back to how he used to fight back in the day against the likes of Floyd Mayweather and those guys where he doesn’t give a damn and walks through you.”
“But it’s a 50-50 fight. I lean toward Crawford. Why? Because Crawford is the fresher fighter. Canelo has had too many tough fights.”
