    Henry Crawford, A Prime Time Player or Stuck in Neutral?

    By Ryan ******** - An unbeaten record often leads to the question, "Who has he fought?". Still, sometimes it isn't who, but rather how they fight that is important.

    Henry Crawford of Paterson, NJ has been a pro for five years, racking up a 22-0-1 (9 KO) record that has for the most part evoked little passion with boxing fans. The reason has little to do with his prison stint earlier this decade but rather with the lackluster manner in which those victories have been reached.

    "Whoever put it in his head that as long as he wins that's what matters gave him bad advice," says Kendall Holt, former junior welterweight champion and fellow Paterson native. "This is entertainment and the suits at the networks are looking for ratings. If you're not on television you're not going to make money." [details]

      Agreed. Smith is going to have to push the action because Crawford's safety first temperament won't compel him to fight unless he's cornered. I like Crawford here based on skill but Smith is definitely the stronger fighter mentally.
