Easy ass fight for Crawford, who's twice as tall and rangy as Figueora.
Figueora needs to fight guys that will sit there and trade with him, that are also his size. And when I say size, I don't mean WEIGHT!Comment

This fight would probably make Crawford look a lot better than he is, and he is good. But it'll make him look a lot better. Fig has almost no regard for defense, he is the throwback brawler and Crawford is the boxer who can also punch. Fig's face wouldn't look too good at the end of the fight. Fig's reach is longer, but because of his style, he'd be giving his only physical advantage away.
The guy has longer reach than Mayweather, who has freakishly long arms for a WW and for his height, yet Omar prefers to fight inside and just give away his long ass arms. 73", that's the average reach of the current top 10 JrMW-SuperMW's!
For reference:
Lara: 75 - 154
Froch - 75 - 168
Ant Dirrell - 741/2 - 168
Quillin - 73 - 160
Figueroa - 73 - 135
Mayweather: 72 - 147/154
Trout - 72 - 154
Groves - 72 - 168
Abraham - 72 - 168
Ward - 71 - 168
Canelo - 701/2 - 154
Golovkin - 70 - 160
Average reach from 154-168 according to the top 11 top fighters above: 72.4".
Omar Figueroa's reach: 73"
Also longer reach than Kovalev and Pascal (both 72")

Crawford is way too skilled and polished to be bothered by Omar..
Crawford by a wide decision.. Omar is just not skilled enough to hang at the top levelComment
