Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: 154 pounds a step too far for Terence Crawford

[hitmanjosh]

Eddie doing what he should for a fighter he promotes, but sometimes it's best to STFU! Unless asked..............

Madrimov is no joke! He'll give Crawford a test, for a few rounds, then Bud will takeover, and outbox him! I wouldn't be surprised if Bud gets the KO. Bud is super strong for his size, and he's probably 170-180 walking around, so 154 is not bad for him! Floyd was smaller, but still beat Oscar & Cotto @ 154, and Canelo @ 152 at 36 years old! I think Bud is stronger than Floyd! The only question is can bud handle Canelo @ 168? That's a BIG jump!!!

Crawford is very strong for his size...He was an excellent High School wrestler.

Not a safe jump up in weight by any means, dude can punch, he is awkward, and well schooled, he really reminds me of GGG, even his posture at times. Crawford better focus on the task at hand.

I think Bud trying to keep up with Inoue by stepping up and immediately fighting a title holder. Im sure Bud can beat this man, but he might not look as good against him as he would if he had 5 years to prepare for him like he did with Spence. Usyk even didnt look great in his 1st fight at heavyweight and would have been massive underdog against Josh and Fury in 1st fight in the division and on the strength of his 1st fight in the division.
But thats no criticism of Bud, Usyk hasnt did quite exactly what Inoue has also is what im saying.

Eddie sure talks like he knows something even though he’s never broke a sweat in his life..

He was an amateur boxer, he broke plenty of sweat. At least more than you

I expect Crawford to not look as sharp as a year ago. He should have fought Jan-Feb. The activity is the key and at his advanced age he could look great one night and a year later not so much. I expect him to win however I don't expect the same cat as we saw last summer.

The reason why he’s even saying anything is because they’re asking him the questions

[Greenfield02]

Depends who's he's fighting, the cherry pick he chose for this upcoming fight, is not a step to far, it's the same type of level guy Crawford has been picking all his career.

[JakeTheBoxer]

If Crawford was any good, he would be fighting at 175. Guys here say he walks around at 180. They want him to fight Canelo.
