NO B.S: Does Crawford really have a chance against Jermell Charlo?

[bballchump11]

What’s Charlo’s best win though? Harrison? Trout? Fights he struggled in as well.

If this was Crawford moving up to fight an elite fighter I’d agree with you but I honestly don’t see anything special in Jermell.

In terms of ability Crawford is a level above Jermell, it’s just a question of whether the size difference would be too much.

Charlo is THE elite fighter at 154.

Just like Benavidez. Exactly. It's a shutout for Charlo until Crawford clips him, then the trigger ref would step in.

what are yall talking about? Crawford isn't hurting Jermell. Both brothers have shown good chins.

Charlo is THE elite fighter at 154.

A guy struggling with Jackson, Harrison and Trout ain’t no elite fighter. Just cause he picked up a few more belts against Rosario don’t change that. Jarrett Hurd still has a better resume at 154 than Jermell.

Good fighter but definitely not elite.

Crawford doesn't need to hurt him. He just needs to fool the ref into thinking Charlo is hurt off a shot, then the trigger ref will jump in there. That's how Crawford's fights always end up.

I mean...

Anything is possible being boxing and all, but lets face it their both fighters off a different weight division..

If Crawford moved up in weight or say Charlo moved down weight and some how Crawford beat Charlo people would say something like "Charlo was always overrated he got beat by a guy who was not even a light middleweight"

Or if Say Charlo was to beat Crawford people would say "Charlo is going around picking on smaller guys who were not even in the same division as him to secure an easier victory"

[just the facts]

I'll take Charlo. Crawford is a quality fighter but Charlo is a pretty good fighter too and is much bigger.

He can't outbox Mell? Lol.

John Jackson was outboxing Jermell. Wtf are yall talking about man

Good fighter but definitely not elite.

I honestly have no idea what the hell people are even talking about on here sometimes. Good posts.

Remember, Crawford was hurt by, but ultimately stopped, a larger ghost of Kell Brook.

Am I saying that Brook was anywhere near what Charlo is? No. I'm saying that I don't see Charlo being able to adjust to what's in front of him and he'd get caught.

As we've seen, Crawford tends to have trigger refs stop fights quickly. If Charlo gets caught like Brook, I see the ref stopping it prematurely again. Just like Horn, just like Brook, just like Khan and just like Benavidez.

No way dude, I don't believe Crawford carries any of his power to 154. His already having difficulties keeping the weak competition his faces so far at WW honest. Charlo literally walks him down and. probably stops him in the late rounds

Everybody here knows me and how I roll.

I'll put money on this.


Crawford STOPS Jermell Charlo. I say...Round 8 at the most. Notice I didn't say knockout, I said stop.

It basically goes the same way as Crawford/Benavidez.

I said it before; Crawford beats almost everyone that's at 154. Lara is the only exception I can see right now.

BUT...your point is flawed.

If Crawford fights Charlo, it means that Crawford ducked Spence. Because Charlo is PBC. Which means Crawford accepted B-Side to fight Charlo but not Spence. That's a duck of Spence.

I think you're way off on this one, Crawford doesn't have the chin to stand up to Charlo,hes no 1legavidez.(I call him that because hes a damned clown who chats sht & got ******)

Charlo would hit him with bombs to the gut followed by a solar plexus straight right or left hook.(Bud would last maybe 3 rds tops) I'd bet anyone any amount if it happens.

I cannot see how Bud can beat Charlo but he doesn't feel comfortable vs Porter or Ortiz.
