    Crawford is a bad dude...

    Future P4P fighter, just entering his prime right now.


    Aside of his amazing defensive skills I was most impressed with his mental composure. Every time he got hit he shrugged it off like it was nothing and responded with hard shots of his own, stayed composed in front of thousands of screaming fans, picked his shots extremely well, didn't complain about the **** ref, didn't panic at all.

    Few guys have that toughness, this guy is cold blooded.

      Wasn't that impressed, not the same Burns in there tonight, he was scared to open up. He's shot, and needs to retire. Shouldn't have been in there if he's afraid to take punches.

      Crawford definitely has skills but that version of RB is no barometer.

          yeah he's a pretty complete fighter. only thing is he doesnt appear to have much power, and when he fights southpaw he looks a lot less effective to me. like he misses more punches and is too defensive. im not sure if anyone at 135 can beat him.

              Looked like a mini Hagler in there, and I'm not even joking.

              Minus the power.

                      Solid skills but he hasn't proved anything as far as toughness is concerned. Toughness is fighting through while being down on the cards and stealing victory from defeat.

                          No, but he always gave it a go. Tonight, nothing. He fought scared. I don't blame him but he shouldn't be boxing anymore.

                          Also, Chelo not a journeyman. He'll show that in time.

                              The only time Burns has looked decent is against lesser level opponent, for his 10th world title fight...he's never dominated a world level fighter.

                              He's not that good, slow & poor technique. He has great heart & determination though.

                                  Right, so why talk up Crawford on that performance? makes no sense.

                                  Honestly, Burns does have great heart and determination but showed none of it tonight because he's still injured and didn't want to get hit.

                                  I think Crawford is good, but comparisons with Hagler and talk of PFP after beating that version of Burns is premature.

                                      I knew that crowd wouldn't affect him. Every time he fights you could tell he has that Rigo type attitude... "**** the crowd Imma do me."
