Amir Khan is one of my favorite people in Boxing as he has put his self destructive behavior down, and saved his marriage and made a new family, and resurrected his career. Terence Crawford is recognized as the best boxer in the current time, and has also never forgotten his roots. The question is whether Amir is going to fight smart or is he going to stay in the pocket and throw. It is hard to believe that Amir is only 32 years old.

Bud is the best switch hitter that Boxing has ever seen. Bud is 31 years old and has taken the long slow road to the top.
