Terence Crawford vs Jermell Charlo

[hhh1200]

Crawford often gets in exchanges. I don't think he can take those shots Brian did but I could be wrong. Outside of that if he maintains a boxing match, he outboxes Charlo no different than Tony Harrison and John Jackson (people forget about this guy). Under the Same T-Shirt James, Charlo just looks to land power shots vs. box as he did under Shields.

But those guys are 6 foot tall and over. They aren't 5'8. Crawford doesn't have the best defense either.

[hhh1200]

Charlo is under 6 feet and Crawford has the exact same reach as Jackson of 74''. Basically, Crawford giving an inch to Lara and Trout is no different than those 2 existing in 154. Crawford is far more skilled than Trout and Charlo Trout was an MD. Not impossible for Crawford to outbox him, just stay out of exchanges.

No way this fight plays out like that. Mickey was celebrating going the distance happy not to get knocked out. Bud would try out several different games plans if that's whats needed.

Crawford’s a great fighter but for the upteenth time he’s not Floyd. He’s not as technical or as good defensively. He would struggle against that Charlo jab and he would also loose some speed moving up to 154 lbs. Even Floyd struggled at 154 lbs. Crawford would have his moments in the fight but ultimately it would end badly.

You are right that he’s not Floyd but where Floyd is better defensively, Crawford is far more aggressive offensively. Can’t really compare their approaches to moving up, Floyd Kod most of his fighters young and small where Crawford is getting all kos at his highest weight. I doubt he loses much speed as I doubt he or Spence walks around even close to 147

[TheUptownKid]

Lol. TC is like 2 weight classes bigger than Floyd naturally. Probably as a result, he is a better offensive fighter at any weight class.

Crawford would win nearly every round. Charlo's only chance is the proverbial puncher's chance.

Floyd was a lightweight phenom offensively, don’t sleep on his offensive game. Pretty boy goes to the hof just as many times as money

he's 3 inches taller. And I'm not saying Crawford can't win, but a 3 inch heigh difference can make a difference. Dwight qawi also had long arms for his height and gave holyfield a tough test. As for Crawford being "far more" skilled than Trout, don't forget that Trout outboxed Cotto and was thoroughly outboxing Canelo halfway thru their fight befofre the open scoring was announced and he saw that he was somehow losing. Then he decided to stand and trade and it was all downhill from there. Trout was no bum at all. Just as Harrison isn't. These are legit top 10 guys. The same way Crawford was being outboxed and hurt by a chinless featherweight midget at 135. At the end of the day, a 6 foot guy boxing from the outside isn't always the same as a 5'8 guy boxing from the outside

Crawford got hit with pretty good shots vs Horn and Daiz. The Kaval shot was more of a balance. A boxing trainer actually did a video on it. Clenelo before the tainted meat got rocked by Cotto's brother. It happens in boxing. Like I said, stay out of exchanges with Charlo and he could ink out an SD. If Trout can survive Charlo Crawford can.

Lara completely out-skilled Trout on an epic level. Outside of 1 inch in height, Crawford and Lara have similar dimensions and arm length. I'm sure Lara has a greater wingspan though.

Most trainers would rank Crawford's skillsets greater than Lara's in a match-up vs. Trout.

Crawford is not the boxer Lara was lol. Because Lara also was outboxing Canelo. Do you believe Crawford or anyone that has beat Lara would do the same? Lara has a hit, and not be hit style. Crawford gets hit quite a bit and this has been the case for years. But he gets his opponents out of there so it's not remembered as much. Even against Diaz, Crawford was getting hit repeatedly, but he won by tko so time has forgotten that diaz was landing.. As you go up in weight, getting hit will be problem for any fighter. Not just crawfod. Look at choclatito at 115. he's not as dominant as he was in previous divisions.

[SplitSecond]

Most of the 154lbs are glass chins. Weak willed, c-lvl fighters. Charlo always starts running and goes into a shell when you touch him, people acting surprised by how he fought Castano haven’t been paying attention. He’ll go into his shell and just look for a big shot here and there. Another weak willed fighter in reality, lucky he has not fought a guy that would have him pushing fumes and really hurting him when he lands.

If Crawford doesn’t get KO’d cold, which I’d bet he wouldn’t, he can do what he wants with Charlo. Crawford can even walk Charlo down like he did Kavaliauskas and roll and counter like he did vs Kavaliauskas.
