Amir Khan has been warned that in Terence Crawford he is about to fight a modern day version of Sugar Ray Leonard.
He challenges the WBO welterweight champion, widely considered the second finest fighter in the world, at New York's Madison Square Garden on an occasion that could yet end his career.
Crawford's decorated promoter Bob Arum also works with Vasyl Lomachenko, the only fighter even more highly rated than Crawford, handled both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in the past era, and also promoted Leonard, among the finest of all time.
