Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Manager: Forget Crawford Fight; It 'Would Be Suicide'

[hitking]

Crawford is at most 5'9...Easter Jr. is taller than him. They just want to make Crawford out to be some monster

First time I saw Easter was on a Broner undercard. He happen to know the people I was sitting next to ans came and talked to them after he fought. And he's no more than 2" taller than me, and 5'9 is pretty generous for me.

crawford would deep fry him anyway.

Mikey garcia vs lomo.

[Ernie Mavers]

i'm a fan of both..but loma has to show and prove at 135 before i want to see him at 140 fighting crawford

this bout with have vada testing..which loma has never done so he'd be facing several up hill battles..

give me corrales vs loma to see who the real number 1 in the division is..

What? Lomo won TWO gold medals, do you think he competed in the Olympics without stringent drug testing?

Come on bro, nothing uphill about it, that said, Crawford would beat him up and stop him.

All this discussion about Bud's height... Why would he lie about his height? Does that give some sort of advantage that I don't know about? Bud definitely isn't 6 feet tall. That's just nonsense. Also, height doesn't determine how well people's frames can hold weight. Just a weird discussion in the comments. Simply put, Bud is too big for Loma. That's it.

A clear tell tale sign that you're too good is when critics and haters start asking you to fight 2-3 weight classes above your weight.

Loma was the one that first mentioned it.

Crawford almost has a foot on him and walks around close to 160 I don't see how that fight is even possible.

Huh? They're 2 inches apart not a foot. A foot would be if Crawford was 6'6".

I agree it's a mismatch, but people are weird they say Loma can beat Mayweather but Crawford becomes the Big Show. Yet Floyd is the same height as Crawford and has a longer reach. When it comes to their weight it doesn't even matter because neither of them fight with a style in which they use theri weight, they're all technical. And Floyd was more powerful at 130 than Crawford has been his whole career 27-0 with 22 KO's vs 30-0 with 21 KO's. Floyd is more dangerous to Lomachenko at 130 than Crawford would be at say 135 in a fantasy match.

Gamboa was not boxing circles around Crawford. I'd give Crawford 5'9 tops and I've seen him as well

[Sheldon312]

They lie about his height I seen him in person he's almost 6 feet

I live in Omaha l see him at Walmart a lot. He is a legit 5'8

Crawford probably has a natural 15 pound advantage in size and frame on lomachenko. Crawford's fight night weight against Postol was 157 I believe.

That is a huge disparity. Loma weighed 139 last night.
