Crawford is a very special fighter

No need to inject race into the convo

It's nothing negative about the race, it's just that the simple fact is, too many African American fighters have been trying to be ultra defensive since the successes of Pea, Whitaker and Hopkins. We see that evidenced in the way guys like Dirrel and Ward fight, the post 2000 generation of fighters.

I could have simply said American fighters but that would not be accurate because the vast majority of American boxers who I've come across are black but there is also an increasing number of American-Hispanic fighters and they are definitely NOT boring.

Yes, right now he can do that against small guys. What happens when he goes against a guy that is the same size and can really crack? I doubt he will be ready to throw 3 back. He will instead be on his bike retreating. I'm sorry, unless you do something amazing, you will be beat down if you lack power.

Crawford moved up on like a week's notice or something and smacked Prescott around no problem. He will be fine, 140 has been put on notice.

Only time will tell but its silly to write him off completely when he hasn't fought at 140. Give the man a shot to prove himself. Crawford could very well handle the weight well and be a force to be reckon with.

He has fought at 140 though...on short notice AND he won against a power puncher.

Dude has a great eye. IQ. Can **** as well as box. I can't wait to see him at 140. Hes going to own that division for as long as he wants. When he wants to be elusive and use the jab in sequences if 3 and 4, he reminds me of Pernell. This kid is very, very good.

I like Crawford quite a bit as well, but please don't call him "special".

Makes me think I'm talking to Max Kellerman.

Another one bites the dust.

he is too inaccurate to be considered that special..he also doesnt have a great check hook..or straight right hand..nicholas walters is a better fighter to me and prospect to achieve greatness

Why all the negative comments about Crawford he looked very good against Indongo.

[AL_Camino]

Nice bump lol. Unified champ at 140, will he conquer 147 next? Future big fight is crawford vs spence Thurman winner.

I knew last night would not be as easy as so many fans claimed, but the dude can scrap for sure. I just don’t think he’s pound for pound number 1 yet. The obvious knock is level of opposition. Hopefully that will be fixed. He needs a fight against Thurman or Spence ASAP.
