Crawford vs Benavidez at 168--who wins?

[GhostofDempsey]

The only fight I really want to see Crawford in again is Benavidez at 168. I don't see anyone else from 154 - 168 compelling enough to fight Bud and that includes Ennis. How does this one go down? Who wins and how?

Provided Benavidez makes the weight, I think he gets knocked out.

But I'd rather see Crawford clean up 160 to become a 6 division titlist, 4 division undisputed, and 5 division lineal.

i dont think benny could make 168 anymore

bud and his team have ruled him out anyway if he was going to fight someone that size id say he would prefer big name bivol if the cash was right but not sure if he wants to go that way at all yet obviously

[Spray_resistant]

Fat David should continue fighting fighters his own size now, no interest in seeing this fight.

It would be nice to see him clean out 160 but there's no money there.

who is the lineal champion at 160lbs? Is there one? I can't seem to find any info on it...

Crawford vs Benny would be brutal. I reckon Crawford would take a lot of punishment but he's too tough and there's zero quit in him. He'd use his quick hands to light Benny up as well but I think it's one of those type of fights where neither man backs down. I think it would end in a split draw with both men badly marked up.

I would think Crawford by UD because David has to come down to 168. I don’t even know if he makes that comfortably anymore.

He’s better off staying at 175 and going for Bivol or Bieterbiev.

If they fight I will watch for sure.

Benavidez is too big, strong, young, & skilled for Bud at this age.

Canelo is old, that's why we thought Crawford could win.

Benavidez doesn't have that problem.

Agreed. I think Benny would beat the brakes off Crawford. People forget, David is 28, while Crawford will turn 38 later this month. That's some smoke Bud does not want.

[Gary Coleman]

It's intriguing. Bud could stay inside, out of danger and possibly pick up a decision.

Improbable, but not impossible.
