Official Walters-Marriaga & Verdejo-Najera Poll Thread & Discussion

I want to see Walters vs Crawford now - who do u guys think has the edge based on style (put weight to the side)

Crawford is at 140 now, no? I think that would be too much. FNWeight should not be an issue if the two fighters are of the same physical attributes and campaign at the same weight class. It's an issue when the bigger fighter is just as good as you, taller, more used to the higher weight class, etc. Crawford and Walters are very similar in physical appearance as far as height and reach, but I think Crawford being in the 150s on FN, and probably being as good or even better than Walters would be too much. I know you said put weight aside but Crawford is really good and his weight will matter against smaller fighters who are not better than him.

Walters can still even dominate LW too

That rarely happens at the top level. People have to suck it up and move on. If a fighter is great, he'd beat any fighter, whether they are a WW coming at 170lbs, or 165, or 158, a great smaller fighter will beat a good bigger fighter. When a fighter is small at the scales, that's a different story.

As you stated in your previous post - There are only a few fighters (Manny & Floyd) where weight doesn't make much of a difference - They are exceptions to the rule that a good big guy always beat a good little guy.

Other non-elite fighters will have problems if the weight disadvantage overcomes their skill advantage.

Crawford..... it would be similar to Dulorme tactical fight neither having an advantage then Crawford would catch him and finish him.

That's funny considering your stance on Mayweather-GGG.

---------------------------------

Marriaga has ATG chin status. Him and Garcia eat bombs for breakfast.

It's funny? Okay, Let's see GGG come down to 147 like I said in my post.

I see you don't have principles at all, when talking about Floyd vs GGG you have a totally different opinion Kinda exposed yourself here.

Didn't realize GGG was a WW. When I said that example, I was talking about fighters in the same weight class. Sorry but Floyd's last fight was at 147, GGG is a MW. Also, look at my other post where I speak to physical attributes being similar. They are not similar.

Floyd, Cotto are small at the scales. Keep em coming.
