Bud Crawford moving up to 168??

[RENE JUNIOR]

Bud thinks that he deserves more than he is worth and that people actually care about his opponent selection so far. He takes no risks and hides behind his promotional company.

That is very well said man.

[RENE JUNIOR]

Bud is a big guy though. Crazy he's able to get down to jr ww/WW.

My friend saw him at the Vegas airport after a fight Bud was attending and my friend was saying he was looking at least like 170/80

Wow, interesting I didn't know that.
Yet, I still think he would have major issues at 168 against top names definitely.

168? I'm a big Crawford fan but get real. 154 is his limit but he still got work to do at 147, don't walk away from Porter and don't let that little crispy wanker Arum fkk it for you either. If Porter or his master Al fkks it then so be it but make sure you want it boy.

Pretty well said man I definitely agree man.

Manny got ko'd at 112 and what 115 and went on to be great..got dropped by a damn jab at 122 and was eating punches at 147

Pretty good counter arguments there

[RENE JUNIOR]

Most welters / junior middles definitely walk at 170-180.

But the thing here is can they perform as well as they do at 147 if they moved up so much, probably not.

He trying to control the narrative for ducking the Porter fight. Watch

[-Kev-]

He is 5’8” and probably walks around 175lbs or so when not in the gym. At least from what I remember him saying. I can’t see a fighter fight at his walk around weight class. That’s rare. Mayweather and Pacquiao did it successfully. But that’s Mayweather and Pacquiao, two ATG’s of their era.

Crawford, who iirc, walks around above 170 when not training. I could be wrong. He cuts a ton of weight to get down to a weight class he has a chance in. But if he went the Mayweather/Pac route, he would fight at 168 and most likely be, at best, a serviceable journeyman at 168. More realistically, he would most likely get repeatedly clobbered up there. As he did not look like he took Gamboa and Kavaliaskous best shots very well.

Crawford can comfortably make 154-160 without bloating up and he doesn’t do it. We all know why. 154-160 has Lara, Charlo twins, Castano, Derevyanchenko, GGG, Hurd, Andrade, Harrison, Munguia, Eubank, Lubin. Crawford is probably not too thrilled about any of these matchup’s. He rather fight smaller men like Gamboa, Pacquiao, Lomachenko, Gervonta Davis, Teofimo Lopez. And if he decides to fight bigger opponents, they have to C class fighters.

I still think Postol is his sole real good win where no one can really say anything bad about it. Otherwise his resume is very underwhelming.

Sounds like Pac is retiring. Expect everybody from 135 to 154 to be heading to 168 as Canelo is the only cash cow left. Of course AJ but they can't go there.

[Ganondorf]

I can think of a dozen guys between 147 and 168 that I would pick over him.

[GrandpaBernard]

Terence won’t even try to fight the best guys at 147

but he’ll go up 3 weight classes

okay lol
