Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford More Talented, Dedicated Than Broner

Not effective brah, arms, nd shoulders and occasional jab

PDL landed 127
Paulie 214

Scoring punches, head or body.

Broner is always open to that left hook to the body, and he always lets his opponents get off first.

And then waits for them to stop punching before he fires back.

How much did broner land?

246 right?

and Paulie got 214/843 so me saying "Not effective brah, arms, nd shoulders and occasional jab" is just about right.

[Fetta]

I think both are talented

[flint]

Yup just like he whooped malignaggi's ass right? Oh wait.................

he whoopped malignaggi. broners a guy that came up 2 weight classes and beat your so called champion. malignaggi is a embarrassment. he's a loud mouth crybaby. broner is just a loud mouth.

I agree with that, Crawford is definitely more talented than Broner.

He has footwork, but Broner's inside fighting is other worldly. He can throw a one two counter, stop mid punch, and turn it into an 8 punch combination from all angles. Crawford is my dawg, but no way would he beat Broner footwork or not. People let the fight with Paulie fool them. Broner jumped up two classes, and to me he seemed sluggish with his upperbody movement. Yall must have forgot all the defense, head movement, combinations, reflexes he been putting on at the lower weights. And against Demarco, thats when he stopped moving his head and began to catch punches on the inside. Once Broner settles in this weight, he will be back to normal. And his power...oohhwee. He will beat the crap out of Crawford, but I'd love to see it.

I wouldn't expect Broner to get off an 8 punch combination on Crawford. I've only seen him do that against stationary targets like Rees and Escobedo. In those fights, Broner was able to do anything he wanted to, simply because he was comfortable because of the fact that they were not only stationary and limited, but also because of how much he drastically outweighed them. He could literally just fight whenever he wanted to. Against Pauli, he was forced to lead and was forced to fight at another tempo. THATS why he looked bad. He didn't have an opponent just walking into short counters that he could just pick off like that.

And you mention Broner's inside fighting, but Crawford has shown that he is diverse in every category. He was even walking Prescott down in certain moments of their fights. I just see his foot movement being more effective than Pauli's with more tools in his arsenal. I hope they put this fight together so I can win some money.

If Arum wants to build up Crawford, he needs to pick opponents that will come at him and give him a good fight, the casual fans want KO's, build him up and put him against some brawling Mexican fighters with exciting styles that is how you can make him a household name. He should be able to get some spectacular KOs and than maybe he can face Broner down the line in a super fight at 140 you have the good guy Crawford versus the low life slimely arrogant bad guy in Broner.

This is a simple one: let him fight Omar!

Omar would KO him easy

[HBOFanboy]

Crawford is 26 with one good fight, typical Bob.

[Frank Ducketts]

Broner would beat Crawfords ass.
