What are some subtle flaws that you’ve noticed in Crawford’s overall style?
I noticed he tends to leave his head exposed a bit when he throws shots to the body and a quick counter puncher can make him paid with short straight punches if he’s not too careful. Not really a technical flaw, but he tends to be too overly aggressive when he gets hit a few times trying to return fire right away and that can be a mistake against a high IQ boxer who can exploit that to his advantage.
Only in spurts in the first round or 2, then after unsuccessful finding his rhythm, he reverted back to southpaw and will his way to victory.
Southpaw TBud open for Alvarez favorite overhand
along with straight rights
TBud boxes when orthodox and fights when southpaw

Bozy Ennis mentioned TBud 80% of the time southpaw to shut down the comparisons with Jaron
Which is very true and was also the reason why he kept getting hit repeatedly with that same right hand over and over again against Madrimov because he cannot switch back to his natural orthodox stance again. Now he is just a converted southpaw.
His whole aura as a switch-hitter is a myth. I’ve never seen him successfully dominate an entire fight in the orthodox stance. Once dude gets hit, all that **** goes right out the window and he reverts back to his comfortable southpaw stance where he’s at his best.
I totally agree. At this point; It's safe to say that Bud is no longer an ambidextrous or switch hitting fighter. He is officially a southpaw. I know he is a converted one. However, he almost never fight in his natural orthodox stance anymore.
He needs to come out of that southpaw stance against Canelo and fight more in his orthodox stance. He could have conceivably lost that fight to Israil Madrimov. He ate an awful lot of right hands that night.
I know that boxing fans are totally divided over the decision. It could have gone either way. Moreover, he doesn't want to being eating those type of right hands against Ginger.
respect both but fan of neither
Rooting for TBud and hoping for a good fight
he is naturally bigger than Floyd after all
correct, but he hasnt fought naturally bigger guys than floyd did.. oscar, cotto, canelo were all bigger guys than anyone crawford has fought so far. and plus crawford is not a better defensive fighter than floyd was. crawford likes to exchange more.. so if canelo forces crawford to fight very defensive, we havent seen how crawford performs with that style.
Technically one has next to visible no flaws when fighting inferior competition. It is only when mathed evenly or above class that his flaws are more visible.
Asside from getting a little desperate when he gets hit, I do not think he takes body shot well.
He is very good and pays attention to carefully match making. A good swarmer or a man who can punch hard are fighters he will not meet. A pound for pound match maker he is.
why soft body like Usyk?

A boxing coach stated the same thing to me a while agoWhenever he didn't overmove Erislandy was beautiful in the Saul fight
highly pleasing straight strikes
Great observation. He doesn’t look comfortable getting hit to the body especially those looping body shots, he tends to get thrown off balance when he gets hit like that. Yeah, I feel like Canelo will mix it up like that and catch Crawford upstairs when he least expects it.TBud boxes when orthodox and fights when southpaw

I don't know. Your head is always exposed when you throwing a body shot. Any training is such that when under trauma we revert to our most basic skills set.
Fighters like Crawford tend to make adjustments and that is the real strength. As far as technical flaws bud does tend to loop a little bit.
I don't think it's a technical flaw but he risks himself in 50/50 exchanges and he drops his guard when throwing combinations, which is pretty normal.
The 3 right hands Madrimov hit him with partly has to do with age. Crawford's reaction is too slow to parry or slip them. (Obviously)
I expect Canelo to come in with a similar gameplan that he had for Khan. Attack the body. Keep him thinking about it, slow him down, close the distance then tee off.

Erislandy would have been the first guy we see Floyd outwork
how competitive do you see Benavidez VS Bivol or Artur
I think Bivol wins by UD. Bivol would outbox him. Artur still has enough in the tank to punish him for 12 rounds, I can see Artur win by KO or TKO.
I wonder how current Lara would do against Crawford. I know Lara is shot, but he’s always had problems against heavier aggressive boxers like Hurd, Angelo, etc. Stylistically, Crawford doesn’t pose much threat to him. To keep it a buck, old man Lara is a stylistic nightmare for anyone. Erislandy would have been the first guy we see Floyd outwork

Your welcome. I figured critical thinking, well common sense wasn't your strong point when it comes to Terrence "TBE" Crawford
Right on. Terence “TBE” Crawford would’ve dominated anyone at 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, and 168 in any era.
