Like three solid wins over opponents ranked in the top five. Thurman, PAC, Spence, Brook, etc. something tells me he will avoid Spence at all costs.
    After this fight he should go up to 147 if you ask me. He isnt getting any younger.

        Crawford is expected to win. It will be maybe his 3rd best win and won't solidify this greatness you have already bestowed on him. Beating Diaz doesn't make anybody great. If Diaz was a great fighter then beating him would make Crawford great but Diaz is a good fighter, not a great one.

            No. But Diaz is good and will be the second good fighter his own size Crawford has fought.

              People praised Floyd for beating Gatti at 140. Diaz and Gatti are on similar levels wouldn't you say?

                How so? Thurman beat Porter and Danny and Diaz is just as good as both.

                  Yes. Felix Diaz will be the best scalp on his resume so far. Better than Gabmoa and Postol, and that's not even the question. That was amusing seeing some people pretend like Postol is a legitimate threat before the fight, and now the same people try to make it look like Postol was elite. At the end of the day, it turned out I was right about the outcome when I've said Crawfiord gonna murder Postol in one-sided manner. I was never giving Postol any chance to beat Bud, former security guard with non existent amateur career doesn't have any chances against a boxer with solid amateur background who's been boxing since childhood.

                  Just like Postol, Felix Diaz is another feather fisted boxer, but he's more skillful, he'll take some rounds in the beggining, and it's gonna be more competitive than fight with Postol but Crawford supposed to toy with opponents of this caliber. Diaz is his best opponent to date. I'll give him credit, but it's not like Diaz is that great of a win that he can significantly improve Crawford's resume, but I can't blame Bud for that, 140 is dead

                    So becoming undisputed doesn't place him amongst the greats that were at 140?
