    To be honest, is Crawford any good?

    Is the guy walking around at 180 lbs, fights at welterweight good?

    Be honest.

    No mate, he's terrible. Genuinely one of the worst fighters I might have ever seen.

    3 weight Lineal Champion and Undisputed in 2 of them but he really is just shit, frankly.

      crawford is a 3 weight champion for 10 years (top2 in those divisions at any given time). only joe louis, ray robinson and ricardo lopez have achieved more than that in 1, 2 and 2 divisions. if crafword is not good, there's no reason to watch boxing because nobody is good.

        Last time he fought a game fighter was against Mean Machine and he did have some problems. Not sure if there is a fighter at 147-154 that is really game on and comes to win. It's not Tszyu, It's not Fundora, not Charlo, they could make the Vergil fight at 154 in Texas Stadium.

          i dont think we have any idea what he weighs in the ring fight night unfortunately like a lot of them so u cant say he is a big weight guy, hes beating his guys using his skills and power which has got more effective as hes climbed weight it seem, hes definitely very good

          hes also fought at 135 so 154 at his age will surely be a big challenge for him, would be very impressive if he did take care of business well there actually

                He's nowhere near 180, I mean anymore than Hatton or Duran were 200. Fat don't count if you don't take it with you into the fight.

                  Did you copy that from somewhere or write it yourself? That's an impressive breakdown, and I think it answers the question with certainty.

                    I call bs that he weighs 180. Dude is a natural athlete. He's not your basic ass fighter who eats and drinks til he got a pot belly then spends the whole camp just making weight.
