Golovkin isn’t far off, he just has better fundamentals than Kovalev. He was also coming off beating Alvarez and the next hot prospect. Ofcourse Crawford has a chance, we’ve seen this already and this wouldn’t even be comparable to Roy Jones vs Ruiz, Bellew vs Haye and Spinks vs Holmes. The size differences there were much, much bigger than this would be. We’ve already seen Brook from 147 to 160 vs Golovkin, to give an idea what they’d look like side by side and, if he can last like he did vs a near prime Golovkin, Crawford can go the distance with this version of Golovkin. And if Steve Rolls is piecing him up Crawford can decision him. Crawford came in at 153/154 for 135lb fights, he’s at least 155/156 at 147, put on 5lb’s, give Golovkin 10lb’s (Golovkin has rarely been over 170) and he’s money.
Light middleweights weigh as much or more than Golovkin on the night, while being younger and longer.
This is always crazy before it happens because you imagine the guy bigger/stronger than he is, Crawford wouldn’t be fighting Beterbiev. An old man is about as perfect as it gets. Good odds for Golovkin too. Although obviously, why would you, as Crawford, take this risk.
Nobody ever considered Yarde "The next hot prospect"
I always thought I didn't know shit about this sport... but this is ridiculous. Your credibility seems to be plummeting with every weird new thread you make. I mean at least this isn't about Wilder or the LDBC though..
GGG is not as shot as Kovalev was when he fought Canelo.
I don`t see any chance Crawford beats GGG.

Crawford could definitely beat the current Golovkin. Golovkin is not a big middleweight and old.
People always overestimate size. May seem ridiculous but fighter’s have done this move a few times.

Brook gave GGG a tougher fight than he gave Crawford
think about that
GGG gave brook career lasting damage and permanent injuries, it would be meaningless in the long run for crawford to win a few rounds vs GGG if he even did while getting his skull fractured
If he could last 12 rounds he could win, but it's a dumb fight for Crawford. See: Brook's career post GGG
yeah GGG breaks eye sockets, not a good fight for anyone smaller than him. You need to be a legit jr middle and able to compete at middle to face him.
If you are going to do a "one off" fight at middle, GGG is the wrong guy to pick
No chance
If you don’t have the power to trouble GGG, he will walk through you.
No welterweight is hurting GGG or even getting his respect.
As good as Crawford is, weight classes exist for a reason.

Crawford could possibly beat GGG at 160 | BoxingScene Community
