Khan has always relied on his unparalleled speed to outpoint opponents, but the 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist is now 32 and a hair slower than he used to be. The undefeated Crawford, arguably the best pound-for-pound active fighter, is going to be just as quick and considerably more powerful. If Samuel Vargas and his 14 career KO&#8217;s can put Khan on the mat, Crawford sure can.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Khan\u2019s chances to win this fight are slim to none and both slim and none left town for good!<\/p>\n<p>Ringside Report predicts that Crawford will stop Khan within 6 rounds ultimately ending his career.
