Can you be 5'5" and have an athletic build?
Jk, that's awesome, man!
I didn't even know you could be 5'5" and be a grown man. J.K. Merry Christmas boxingscene family.
even if he did what does it matter as long as he makes weight, ive seen Crawford in person a few times and he sure didn't look 170.
His fight night weight against Gamboa was 152 -135 =17lbs gain
His fight night weight against Postal was 157 -140 =17lbs gain
I will say now he probably will come in at 160ish
that, and how much a fighter rehydrates and how big they are for their weight class.
Just my opinion, but the bigger a fighter can get without being especially fat, the bigger and stronger he will be for his chosen weight-class. While I agree that what matters most is if a fighter can make weight, I don’t believe the story ends there. I do believe natural size is a factor. It’s clear a lot of knowledgeable men have thought so for many years, as draining to make the lightest possible weight has always been a very common practice in combat sports.
What any fighter walks around at doesn't matter. What they actually weigh while in fighting shape does.

How do we know this truly Terrance on the scale? Its just feet, not a full body shot. He could be ****ing with people. 177 seems awfully heavy for his frame.

Thats why I don't have him as# 1 P4P he's just feasting on little guys . Let him fight Thurman or Spence if he can beat them guys than he belongs at least at number 2 behind Lomachenko
I read in an interview that Vinny Pazienza used to lose 30+ pounds to make the lightweight limit. He would walk around in the 160s between fights. So it's not unheard of for a fighter to carry that much weight between fights.
I dont think hes always that heavy, probably hasnt been training that much lately and gained even more weight during the holidays. When you keep up a strict diet like he was during and between his fight camps and then you stop you will gain weight fast after you stop training and start eating alot.
147 is the division limit NOT his fighting weight. At welter he may fight at 157 that puts his walk around 20lbs over from fighting weight. Those first ten pounds to shed are very easy
to move.
Duran at 135 weigh ins would often balloon to 45 pounds over his limit.

I'm 5'5" and 255lbs, athletic build.
I think getting down to 147 would be doable.

If he walks around at 177 then he walks around as a fat boxer. No boxer should be 30 pounds over their fighting weight between fights but many of them are. Mayweather fought at 147 and walked around at about 155. Crawford is fighting at 147 now so 165 might be a reasonable walking around weight. If he walks around at 177 then he is fat for a serious pro boxer.
