They should meet if you want to compete

So why'd he have such a hard time with a 5'4 featherweight? You guys hype up crawford so much it's unreal.

Because that "featherweight" is one of the most naturally talented fighters in the sport today. He did what any top level fighter would do. Adjust, adapt, and DOMINATE.

He's definitely overhyped. He has some admirable skill, but can't really transfer between offense and defense like you'd expect from someone people think will run the sport and all that. He's great at whichever he is focusing on in the moment, but at the expense of the other.

He actually is not. I never judge fighters but what they do well or how they dominate scrubs. I judge them bby what happens when things DON'T go well and they are forced to go through adversity. Every time Crawford has faced adversity his level was raised, he adjusted and he came out on top. That's the markings of a great fighter.

If Matthysse wins, no way Arum puts Crawford in with him.

That would be AWESOME! Better get Crawford all the fights while they still can because soon if he continues to win and get better every fight he will end up like GGG, Andrade, Ward, Rigondeaux... a good fighter struggling to find good opponents.

Crawford has the home drawing power in Nebraska so he will always be able to get fights.
