When ever Khan steps up he gets beat ,concentration just seems to be one of his many excuses.When you consider Khan's career this is only the second time he has been the underdog.When you consider there's many better fighters out there around the weight and has been for years he has been carefully matched .Otherwise he would have lost his concentration many,many times.

He'll give it his all but again that will fall well short as you rightly say he has bitten off more than he can chew.

Yes it seems to be a common theme when khan has lost. My belief is that opportunities for the knockout with khan arise when opponents dont get fazed by his handspeed and learn his pattern of attack. From what I've noticed khan goes back in straight lines after a quick flurry no head movement.

There's many more holes in his overall approach but that's the most glaring and the more commonly exploited.

Anyone know why Crawford is fighting the loser of the Canelo/Khan fight? I thought he was in the top 3 on the pound for pound list...

Well we knew he had a huge speed advantage over Canelo and that he would trouble Canelo early...and he did

With Crawford, speed advantage is still in Khan's favor but Crawford has the Speed to Counter that with his own Speed and the timing to punch with Khan and catch him with something BIG. Crawford switching stance in and out of Orthodox and Southpaw will FREEZE Khan though, that will disrupt his Speed

Khan is a EXCELLENT body puncher, he put Zab, Maidana and Collazo down with Body Punches, I have no clue why he stopped using body punches as much. I think Crawford can be had to the body, Benavidez had his moments gong to Crawford body. So for Khan to win this one, he has to go to the BODY!

As for Crawford...just wait for the mistake and put his lights out, every fight Khan makes that big mistake and he either gets Wobbled, Dropped or Knocked Out. His "Need For Speed" makes it impossible for him to be patient.

Lets just hope that Virgil Hunter will throw in the towel before it comes to that. Terence has a mean streak personality, I hate to see him hurt Amir Khan worse than all the other men that have concussed the Brit.

Yes he does.
