How would Crawford do at 147 vs the Big Boys?

[Ricky Bahl]

One guy at 147 other than Danny who I believe Crawford would beat up is Adrien Broner. That's a very good and lucrative fight for Crawford.

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?

Spence aint even close to being at the top level, the big boys at 147 are:

Bradley
Brook
Khan
Thurman
Porter

And maybe Pac if he comes outta retirement.

Sadly, it's a given the bradley fight won't happen and fights with those Showtime kids ain't happening either.

LOL at Khan being at the top level, the dude struggled with Algieri who Spence destroyed. And Bradley has done nothing in recent years other than get whooped by an old Pacquiao 3 times.

Spence or Thurman would put both these guys to sleep, lets get real now.

We'll never know cause this is boxing where we hardly get the fights we want to see. He's the next Tim Bradley, meaning he's trapped under his Top Rank confines and will only have Pacquiao as a big fight.


However, because he beat a good, but one dimensional Euro fighter in a very good win, does not mean he could easily beat those better and bigger guys. I do favor him against Garcia and maybe Porter but don't think he would beat Thurman or Spence, those guys hit too hard for the smaller Crawford. Crawford is probably the better boxer though and the guy is very well suited for 140 so those matchups are a bit unfair.

Crawford ain't beating Special K that's for sure.

I don't know man that size difference is something else, he got hurt off Gamboa shots , I can't imagine him taking a clean Spence or Thurman shot and act like nothing happend. I'd say stay at 140 for as long as he can. He could probably run that division for a long time

Dannys a toss up, but I'd favour Danny. If ( which is a big if ) Crawford could deal with Porters physicality maybe

Thurman & Spence chew him up

[MrFactor]

The conversion from ***** to crawmo is complete. Now Crawford can beat everybody, right?? Wrong!! Postal was a good win, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Lets see what he does against a WW. I still wouldn't mind seeing him against Lamont Peterson at 140.

Wow... they block out ***** here... Its that bad of a word??! LOL! some people are way to sensitive...


*****... *****, *****, *****, *****...

Crawford can box, no doubt about that but it bothers me that his inside game or how well he can do that still goes unanswered. How does he deal with someone like Porter? That's what I'm most curious about, how well he operates on the inside will determine what kind of career he has. Doesn't matter how well he can box, at some point your gonna run into that one guy who can cut off the ring well.
