Discussing the difference between Canelo and Crawford, Khan said: “Canelo’s stronger and he’s easily hit. Very easily hit, very easily. Compared to when I fought against Crawford. Crawford, I couldn’t hit clean. So really, that’s the difference. And they both hit hard. You can see their strength. You know, when I was fighting against Crawford, I didn’t think Crawford was that strong, but when he kind of moved me around a little bit, he is very strong as well.

 “So look, why does he (Crawford) need to give that much (weight) away? He’s pound-for-pound number one in the world. Why does he have to go fight Canelo?”

Canelo vs Crawford will draw massive attention from across the globe, promising plenty of intrigue in the build-up and on fight night itself. How each deals with the other’s power will be key. However, as Khan said, Crawford is hard to hit, and he will need to be elusive against Canelo. But the Mexican will look to cut the ring off, move his head and whip in vicious body shots.
