I thought Andrade fought against Martirosyan the way Crawford should be fighting his current weak opposition. Andrade boxed but let his hands go and stunned Vanes several times. I think the fight was as exciting as it gets when putting two boxers in the ring with each other.
Crawford struggles to excite the fans against his journeymen opponents.
Andrade I think he brings more to the table than Crawford, although I do like Crawford and I think he can look very good when a guy actually challenges him as opposed to laying back, but I think Andrade can do that and he is a bit more aggressive.
I like what Crawford brings at this point, i'd buy his stock right now and I've only seen him twice. I've seen Andrade plenty of times and even though he's growing on me I still haven't felt compelled to buy in yet
We will have to compare that power when they start consistently fighting top 10 fighters. 72% vs 65% is not an astronomical difference in power and as far actually seeing their power on display, Andrade showed his very respectable power against the #5 ranked JMW, while Crawford has yet to show his against a top 10 fighter. Prescott was not top 10.
I never said Prescott was top 10??I've watch a lot of their fights coming up,it just seems like Crawford has heavy hands..
He also has better footwork,and evasive skills..Time will tell,from watching both tho..Crawford seems like the better bet..
You mention Angulo, is this a shot at Lara?
Because last I checked, Lara has a TKO victory over Angulo and left half his face looking like a balloon. Just like you would say Angulo knocked down Lara, Vanes knocked down Andrade but not Lara.
yes it is ....but andrade has not fought angulo tho so how would you compare ....dont think angulo succeeding vs him is a popular opinion right now....also vanes was competitive vs lara , he was not vs andrade...what now?..we're stuck with vanes and speculations based on styles and qualities...

I think it's too see what Andrade would do against a fighter who won't have respect for Andrade and force him to fight..I think then will see what's what with Andrade..
Between the two,I have to ride with Crawford..He is the more skilled fighter(imo)between the two..He also has solid power,where I don't think Andrade seems to not be as strong a puncher..
Off the eye test,I'd ride with Crawford and say he has the higher ceiling..

Boo Boo for me. Crawford needs to step on the gas when he has the advantage. Not peck and poke. Andrade pressed Martirosyan late when he could have been jabbing with his long reach.
Yeah, Andrade is talented but I'm not sold on him. Perro would be a great test. I'd like to see how Andrade handles a strong pressure fighter...
i think he'd beat angulo no problem... hell , i think vanes beats angulo
Crawford gets hit with stupid shots he shouldn't be getting hit with, also I don't like seeing him out of the southpaw stance. His right hook is horrible and he doesn't have a straight left hand.
crawford...altho he's only impressed me once...
i thought andrade was something special too but i think im wrong , lol.. i think he's better than lara tho..
Not really he cautiously did it then got knockdown and went back to his jab and when he saw the pelican barely throwing anything and just following him around like a lost puppy he took advantage
Crawford is more technically sound
But he needs to learn when to be this overly technical fighter and when to step on the gas. Andrade stepped on the gas against a fighter he could have gotten a pass for being careful with.
