Comments Thread For: Stevenson Praises Crawford, Recalls Getting 'Worst Whooping' In Sparring

[Unum-de-Uno]

Crawford's reach is on par with Erislandy Lara but he likes to mix it up. Not sure about a 155 match-up with Canelo. Given he can fight southpaw which forces an orthodox fighter, esp a Philly shell fighter, to go high guard and his reach is greater than FMW Jr's. Mayweather would have never taken the fight. That's like FMW fighting Lara for the 154 WBA and WBC belts vs bamboozling fanboys into buying 2 Maidana fights.

Lara who had no Major names on his resume was scheduled to face Canelo in 2014, who Mayweather beat the year before, if Lara would have beat Canelo he would have probably got the Floyd fight and Maidana earned that rematch. No Ducking

FMW fought Judah who matched him in reach 72'' but was a mental midget so he couldn't keep it together for 12 rounds. Lara proved against Hurd and Angulo he stays headstrong for 12 rounds, with no buckling. He landed a round 49% of his power punches peak which is on par with FMW. Regardless if he wasn't robbed by Canelo, FMW was not fighting a south power with a longer reach than him. Lara comes in about 74-75 but his shoulder girdle is wider so he has a greater wingspan than FMW. Hence he would have had to high guard Lara like Angulo and Hurd but being the smaller man. Easier to hustle those fanboys for 2 Maidana PPV checks. That's like saying FMW would have fought a prime Margarito if he had stopped Manny and Mosley. Wasn't going to happen. Once at 147, he was strategic with his "0"
