He will likely lose. Fighting unbeaten guy at higher weight is no joke. Madrimov is not any worse than Fundora or Tszyu, he is probably better.
I still think Crawford won`t fight him, that story is a crap . Crawford will probably fight Spence at 154 or Fundora - Tszyu rematch winner.
Crawford is looking for a high profile fight. He has always has wanted to get paid and now more than ever. What type of business does this guy brings so Crawford can consider him.
More than likely he will fight another Brit.
buds more high profile opponents have not worked out for various reasons, charlo for undisputed, canelo for legacy, kazoo as he next guy to face, fundora maybe but broken jaw, now comes madrimov fresh off a saudi fight & with a title now at 154, bud i dont think would even think about facing this guy if the saudis were not interested (presume they are actually) because i dont think the cash would be there at all for it to make bud happy, if the saudis want this fight to happen it will happen i would say
Why would I be surprised? Madrimov didn't stop all of his opponents. He struggled with some of them.
"Some" meaning he struggled with lesser opponents. This is Crawford you're talking about as opponent.
Crawford is in the twilight of his career. He needs to make as much money as possible to give his family generational wealth so his kids and grandkids and perhaps even beyond are taken care of.
Madrimov is low reward for high risk.
It's really not a high risk fight. Crawford has a massive reach advantage and he's faced a far, far higher level of competition.
Madrimov has 10 total wins, Crawford has 14 wins against TBRB/Ring Magazine top 10 ranked opponents and 10 wins against fighters that won at least one major world title in their careers.
Madrimov has a smaller reach than anyone Crawford has fought since he was at 140 in 2017, and Crawford fought several dudes at 135 who had a longer reach than Madrimov.

Ok, but Crawford doesn`t have better options, does he?
Same could be said about your face first hero. If the choice is between another 9 months of inactivity or a Crawford - Madrimov fight I'll take the latter, because I like boxing.
David actually puts his hands up. Get some glasses. So you are happy to take any scraps Crawford gives you? Thats a true fan boy. You really think this rookie is the best opponent Bud could find in almost 1 year and 3 divisions to choose from? lul.

He looks pretty basic and very hittable to me. I thought Bud was supposed to be special? he has 5 inches of reach on him and he might lose to an 11 fight opponent? lol.
Translation: he isn't an English-speaking American with a social media presence and US media hype.
Madrimov is an excellent boxer, I am far more interested to see his next fight than semi-retired hypejob Spence, for example.
Is that untrue or something? Madrimov gets the dogshit beat out of him by Bud.
madrimov has heavy hands and is quick but he fights with his hands low. it would be an interesting fight i approve of it, why not crawford is sitting around idle anyways and tim is busy, charlo clowns i dont think will fight him. those guys fight once every few years seems like
Crawford will be 37 by the time the fight comes around.
He doesn't want it with a young, fresh, skilled puncher with a deep amateur background.
I don't care for belts, resumes, this would be the most dangerous fight of Crawfords career by some distance.
Madrimov is no joke.
I would be extremely surprised if Crawford fought him.
Madrimov has never even faced a legitimate world titlist and Crawford has a 5.5 inch reach advantage. Crawford fought dudes at 135 with a longer reach than Madrimov.
Yes. Definitively, Crawford is undefeated and a Undisputed Champion in two separate weight classes. For many years he has defended his titles, and kept on the straight a narrow 'Now is time for him to increased the perceived difficulty level of his fights'.
Note: I have always stated that there are actually three upper levels of boxing: And those levels are World level, Elite Level and Super Elite Level.
Roy Jones Junior, Floyd Mayweather Junior, Manny Pacquiao 'Those fighters were Super Elite Level fighters in terms of ability and feats of achievement'.
The reality is? Since their retirement, there have been very few Super Elite level fighters in boxing. The two fighters that were closest to reaching Super Elite level were? Canelo Alvarez and Vasily Lamochenko.
If Canelo Alvarez would of beaten Dmitry Bivol at 175 pounds 'Then that level of performance, and feat of achievement. Could be considered Super Elite Level'.
Terrence Crawford is a elite level fighter, but he is now showing signs 'That he wants to challenge himself, and see if he can become a Super Elite level fighter'.
Most of these fighters that are active today at top level 'Are ether World or Elite level, very few are Super Elite level'.
There is a tier system in boxing, at world level which shows the separation in levels of ability 'There is a level above Elite level. That Level is Super Elite Level'.
Just like there is a tier system for Super Hero's in D'C 'It is the same in boxing, there is a tier system at top level'.
Terrence Crawford is showing signs, that he wants to enter into a new level 'Super Elite level'.
Fighting Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds 'I believe that level of challenge, is Super Level' etc.
.
Yes, for bud to best Nel o that would be as good as any win anyone has got recently, (a super elite win) or could hope to get today.
Go out with a bang are you saying? Yes, i think might as well. THe next fights should be to shut people up.

What are his other choices?
Depends on the offers coming his way. Haven't heard of any. Even this Madrimov one is just based on rumors. I don't think he's the type that would be actively looking for fights. But he might be forced to as the public pressure of asking him about his next fight is mounting.
Crawford will be 37 by the time the fight comes around.
He doesn't want it with a young, fresh, skilled puncher with a deep amateur background.
I don't care for belts, resumes, this would be the most dangerous fight of Crawfords career by some distance.
