Terence Crawford vs Jermell Charlo

[buddyr]

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.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I believe Charlo hits a hell of a lot harder than mean Machine. I may be wrong, but it's just a theory..

Charlo's response to questions about Crawford gives me good chuckles.

"Terence Crawford needs to get his own zht together first...
I don't know what the hell is going on with that kid...He ain't on my mind,
he ain't on my radar, he ain't know nothing, he ain't no matter to me...
The hell with Terence Crawford..."

I don't remember Spence getting pissed at Mikey calling him out.

One thing you can never say about a Charlo. They sure don’t care about money. Amir Kahn would fight King Kong if he got paid well enough. He’s proven that.
This professional fighter thinks of ways to NOT to make money. They both should retire. I’m tired of watching them fight mediocre fighters. They will always be mediocre belt holders.

Who has Charlo stopped that hasn’t been stopped before(most vs some rando bum). The iron chin himself Lubin?

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

Yes, he was a complete fighter at the lower weights. I was mainly referring to Crawford's offense at weights like 147 and beyond. Floyd is just a considerably smaller guy imo.

Floyd's best work imo was at lightweight/below WW.

I'd go ahead and guess that Crawford fights Charlo a hell of a lot different than he did Mean Machine too

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.

Man style-wise Lara is one of my favorites of the past 25 years. But he pisses away rounds all the time. He pissed away rounds vs Canelo too. He was definitely outboxing him early but I had him giving away the last rounds and losing.

Crawford is a pretty good comparison to Lara imo. And Canelo at 154 a decent comparison to Charlo there. Biggest difference in those comparisons, is Charlo hits harder it seems (at 154), but boxes worse, and Crawford doesn't piss rounds away and has a killer instinct that Lara doesn't.

I don't know if Crawford could handle Charlo's power well enough, but I would favor Bud all day in a fight. He is multiple levels above Charlo imo.

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.

In order to win every round Crawford would have to put himself in danger and he can be hit. Even the re tar ded Benavidez brother was able to hit Crawford. As big as Crawford is he’s still not bigger than Charlo. As basic as Charlo is he has a great jab and power in his left hook. And for that he is dangerous. I expect the fight to look something like the Harrison rematch. Crawford controlling a large portion of the fight until he gets caught and slept.

I guess I would just say I think Crawford is levels above Tony Harrison. Hope those 2 guys fight, should be a good buildup and make some good money.

I would say that too but it’s probably a lot closer than we think. Because these guys are naturally bigger and that can offset the obvious technical advantages that Crawford has in the ring.
