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

I still don't understand what all the booing was about. It seemed like only a few people but it was still very weird for a fight that was far from boring. Honestly, it was very aggravating to listen to. If you find yourself booing this type of fight, boxing may not be for you.

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.

Yeah man, it's hard to put the weight issue to the side once you imagine the punches landing. I guess I just really like the skill set Walters would bring to a fight like that - I'd like to see him put in over his head.
