He's going to make weight,but he's clearly a big dude. His frame and reach are going to help him fit in at WW and it's where we could be seein some interesting matchups, if it weren't for the politics involved.

For reference Danny Garcia was checking in at similar weight in his 30 day weigh-ins and ultimately was forced to move ip.

I really dont think he's a "big" dude. I think his bone density is low and if you look at his arms, they are thin. He got skinny legs too. I personally dont think he will be that strong at 147.

I disagree. He was squeezing down to 135, but he's a natural 140. He'll do well at 147 but that's it for him IMO.

Fair enough, agree to disagree.

Yeah, he's a good size.

Jeez what a weightbully Crawford is... wonder how much longer he will squeeze down to fight smaller dudes, his next opponent is like 5 inches shorter.

He should move to 147 within the next 3/4 fights, he has a similar frame to Mayweather who could have stayed at 140 and do a lot more. But 147 is where the names, money and competition is.

Weight bully? 12 pounds over at 30 day weigh in isn't even close to weight bullying. Even your favorite fighter Golovkin has been 12 pounds over before (Murray fight) and he isn't and never has been considered a weight bully. Also, it's called weight class not height class.

He's a big 140lber...and will be an average sized 147lb'er especially as he ages and his body matures.

I'd like to see him transition to 147 by the end of 2018.

Considering Crawford's height/reach/weight he should spend the bulk of his career at 147. He is a natural welterweight.. It's fine for him to grow into that weight while still gaining experience.

Floyd is a natural Jr welterweight guy... who went to 147 for the money/legacy reasons.

Good weight. The problem isn't him being too big for 140 it's that he doesn't have any big fights at 140 and will likely have to move up to 147 to make more money and better fights.
