How would Crawford do at 147 vs the Big Boys?

[boxing_pundit85]

Crawford looked dominant today but this was at 140, if "Bud" moves up to the money division- 147, how would he do against:

1. Danny Garcia
2. Shawn Porter
3. Keith Thurman
4. Errol Spence

Would you have him as the favorite against any of these young lions?

Crawford already getting that mayweather respect as he is naturally a junior ww and can reign as champion there as long as he wants. But to answer your question, against naturally bigger guys, with the exception of Swift, he

Is in a very competitive fight with Garcia, both have high ring iq but crawfords speed and accuracy advantage are the difference makers.

To beat either Shawn porter or Keith Thurman he would have to be very cautious and not get caught, as you would have to assume that they both have considerably more pop than Gamboa, who was able to buzz him. I favor him against porter but not Thurman.

Spence is relatively unproven against elite pro completion , but has every tool you would need to be a top 5 p4p. Too early to make a prediction.

Now that I think about it, Crawford and Thurman actually have somewhat similar styles. Both are lean guys who can move around the ring and have great reach, and both are very explosive. Difference is Thurman hits harder while Crawford is more complex.

Would love to see Crawford vs Thurman.

He will beat them all.

Thurman would probably have beaten Postol a lot worse. Can't see Crawford taking Thurman's power.

[The Viper]

Thurman would probably have beaten Postol a lot worse. Can't see Crawford taking Thurman's power.

Look man spence and thurman would of stopped postal...but it would of taken alot more effort than what bud did..........bud absolutely schooled the guy for 12 rounds....even made him back up after he came out guns blazing in the 12th....pressed him back and made him retreat hahahahaha even when he had nothing to lose......he broke him mentally.........

[The Viper]

Thurman would probably have beaten Postol a lot worse. Can't see Crawford taking Thurman's power.

It's gonna take alot more than power to beat crawford......

[RadChang]

It's gonna take alot more than power to beat crawford......

Thurman is lightning quick and has way more speed and is way heavier than Postol. I think One Time would be too big and strong for Crawford but if you disagree fine, only time will tell.

[elfag]

He can clear out welterweight. pac would be the hardest fight. Guys like thurman, crawford beats easily. thurman isnt that great, hes sloppy and leaky defense.

[Madison Boxing]

Would fancy crawford against all of them, said before tonight he would dominate postol easy, is the real deal
