This is a dangerous fight for Crawford. He could have taken an easier fight going up in weight, but he didn't.
Lose/lose situation....
If Bud doesn't get him out of there by the 7th (as LV predicts) he's not the goods.
If Bud takes him out and not break a sweat, Madrimov was just another bum.
If Bud loses................eep
A lot of people made that first Mayweather-Maidana fight more than what it was imo. Maidana definitely outmuscled Floyd and gave him no space to punch on the ropes, etc, most of that was because of Floyd’s own stubbornness of being too comfortable laying on the ropes(which he corrected in the rematch)against majority of his opponents regardless of their styles, but nevertheless, Maidana outmuscled, and outworked him with a lot of dirty tactics that he got away him that night, but Floyd still won that fight in terms of clean punches. People wanted to see Floyd uncomfortable and Maidana made it happened that night by nullifying Floyd’s punching space to react in time to land. Floyd will always have problems with those relentless head on your chest(No Diddy) type of pressure boxers who relied more on roughhousing and wrestling instead of actual punching.
Floyd lost. he was impotent.
Maidana came with the aggression and damage.
Floyd laid on the ropes and was weak. ineffective.

No one is saying he’s a cab driver. He’s a champion at 154 and it will be a decent win for Crawford. Some of y’all Crawford fans(not all) want to act like Madrimov is a HOF and a top P4P boxer, he’s just not and there’s nothing wrong with that. This is a good comeback fight for Crawford after a full 1+ year of inactivity. let’s just be honest and call a spade a spade. Every ATG boxers have those type of fights in their resume, we can nitpick each and every last past/present great boxers resume and we will find a lot of those stay-busy type of opponents in their resume.
Name ONE person who's said Madrimov is a HOF or a P4P fighter?
