Ruslan vs Crawford,,, who wins

[LeG00N]

It would be an interesting test for Crawford

Ruslan is more than a "test" for some nobody boxer. Crawford might be a "test" for Ruslan but not the other way around

If Alvarado frustrated Prodvoklan a super skilled crafted fighter like Crawford would beat him 12-0.

Sorry but from the first round of Alvarado-Prov, it was obvious how the fight was going to end up. The fight looked like Round 7 of Cotto-Margarito I, in the very first round. Where you knew the momentum was always gonna go towards Prov. Alvarado prolonged the inevitable just a little bit, but he was 157lbs, had a height and reach advantage, and is also very powerful, and none of that could stop Prov. Crawford right now is largely untested at 135, he's small, has shown little power and we've yet to see his chin tested.

I know what Provodnikov is so he doesn't need testing by a guy like Crawford, Crawford on the other hand is an unknown so it would be a test for him.

For once, I do agree with you.

Provodnikov could arguably have a TKO over Bradley if the ref wanted to go by the rules (counting out a fighter if he falls from a punch, stands up, and falls back down), and his TKO over Alvarado give him the edge for me. Crawford's win over Prescott was okay, he frustrated Prescott and outboxed him but it was just one of those fights that the loser's stock stayed the same.

Perfect fight for crawford to get a belt and make a splash
And get his name out there to the big names.

People better pay attention, crawford is one of the most versatile fighters in boxing and tim bradley vouches for him

Great post,,,, Green K to you

Crawford still has unfinished business at 135.

But when he moves up I would pick him to win on points. Arguing over resume is a waste of time for obvious reasons as Crawford is basically still a prospect.

He's good, but where was his versatility against Klimov?

The guy obviously couldn't hurt him but he decided to pay it safe to not ruin his chances. That is at 135 against a guy who can't hurt him. Imagine at 140 against a guy who's hurting WW's and 157pounders, breaking dudes wills. How will Crawford fight then? I imagine he'd fight terrified.

Good point, but i scratch that up to inexperience for crawford,,, yes he should have gotten klimov out of there, but crawford dominated,,, Its not like he was in any danger,,,,

Not every night is a great night.
He controlled every round in that fight,
He did what he needed to do. He won.
Impress later.

The guy has the frame and body style to make 147 small like floyd,and him and
Vasquez have expressed wanting a big fight at 140 ,cause both wanna move up.

This is the risk sport. All or none .
Imo this fight is there if crawfords people want it
