Comments Thread For: Crawford on Merchant's High Praise and Fighting Matthysse

[4Corners]

I'll bet some points with you on that if the fight is announced.

Okay we'll need particulars though. You taking Lucas straight up?

I'm a huge Crawford fan, very humble and nice outside the ring and can also back it up with his skills inside but if he fights my boy Lucas...I hope he gets knocked the fuck out. It's nothing personal, just business

Put 1 quad (all your points) on it, and I'll give you 2:1 odds

If it gets made, I will. Lucas is a beast, but I think Crawford has the versatility and the skill to nullify what Lucas does. I'm not saying X fighter beat X fighter so this will happen.....but Danny beat Lucas and nullified much of Lucas' offensive attack....albeit there were extenuating circumstances. But I think the guys that will trouble Crawford are speedy guys with high outputs. I think Khan would be a bad matchup for him unless Crawford could hurt him. I think Gamboa's speed troubled Crawford a bit but then he found range and stopped him.

Danny has a great chin, I'm yet to be sold on Crawford's, Gamboa rocked him iirc. But even if he doesn't stop him, I think Matthysse can outwork him.

just to win yeah, but will wait to see if Top Rank/GBP will make the fight

Matthysse would knock Crawford out.

I'd like to see Gomez, Matthysse, Benavidez, Herrera, Crawford and Provo all mix it up.

[Caught Square]

I don't understand why being rocked once makes a fighter have a suspect chin. Crawford was trying to finish Gamboa off and got a little careless that's all.

He's been in with big punchers and done fine but ONE time he gets caught in the adrenaline of a classic fight.

I think his main flaw is one his strengths up until now, his poise. Comfortable to lose early rounds and then dominate the rest of the fight, as long as he can keep dominating after a slow start that's fine but if he can't establish his dominance in the mid to late rounds then he will lose.

Hard not to be a fan of TC. He's classy outside the ring and all business inside it.

I love Matthysse but i think crawford can outbox him to a UD

Crawford's ability to become a chameleon in the ring and adapt to his surroundings coupled with his ability to get off the floor and maintain his focus is enough for Danny Garcia to avoid him at all costs unless he becomes the #1 contender to Danny's shaky crown and a fight is enforced by the governing body. At that point, Garcia will probably vacate and move up in weight to make sure the fight doesn't happen. From there Garcia will be in tough in a welterweight division that is ripe with opposition that poses a risk and he will have to go way down the rankings until he finds a cherry that is ripe for the picking in the form of a Salka level opponent. My guess is once he moves to welterweight, he will fight somebody of the Victor Ortiz/Pablo Cesar Cano variety and after dispatching such opposition will say every fight is a risk and his opponent was dangerous and came to fight.
