Good job he doesn't rely on power.

if Kham ends up fighting Crawford he'll be a TKO loser... Crawford will adapt well and only a few in the w w division will give him problems and of course Spence will be the biggest problem....Spence beats everyone in that division including Thurman , will avoid him like death...

Roberto Duran, Pernell Whitaker, Sugar Shane Mosley, Oscar De La Hoya, Zab Judah and Mayweather.

I think Crawford will be alright.

And Pac Man. From 106 pounds up to WW. He feasted on Morales in the second and third fight. The head butt was all the difference in the first fight.

I think crawford should avoid spence, he's too big. Spence is more suited as a light-middleweight and should be avoided by crawford. Horn is very bulky and I'm not sure crawford should fight him, I see that fight as a risk, since we don't really know how good horn is.

As for the rest, he should give them a good fight. Crawford vs Thurman, Crawford vs Pacquiao (If he returns), Crawford vs Khan, Crawford vs Garcia etc are all great choices for him since all those fights apart from maybe thurman allow him to do his usual game, which is to box up close without being on the ropes, as well as being able to brawl also. For thurman he will need to box more on the back foot, but I don't see it as an issue.

Crawford's power will still be good against everyone but spence and horn.

Truth. Excellent assessment. But this is when the sore losers i.e Garcia fans, Thurman fans start accusing Bud of PED use. Happens every time.

Crawford is going to be fine at 147 because he's going to fight weak opposition - and it's not his fault entirely, but he knows with Arum - there will be no fights with Spence or Thurman.

Horn clearly lost to an older-faded Pacquiao and was almost stopped. Beating Horn is a solid win, but still doesn't make me believe Crawford is elite - he has the potential. I think Crawford has to leave Arum and sign with Haymon if he wants be considered an elite boxer. His resume is mediocre and he's benefited from being much bigger than the guys at 135 and fighting in a super weak division at 140. Go look at Arum's stable of fighters at 147... I see Horn, Pacquiao... nobody else. I see Crawford beating Horn and then just fighting WBO mandies for years and years.

Pacquiao was still green when he fought Morales also - hadn't even developed his right hand yet - and YES, fought Morales with basically blood dripping into his eye for the entire fight from very early on...

It's a good point that Khan makes. It might not carry up, people taking it for granted that he's gonna take the division by storm. It might not happen, is he gonna have the firepower to keep some fighters off of him?

He doesn't rely on power. His KOs just come naturally.

My chihuahua Jhonny unsure if Amir can take a chihuahua slap, and he suggests that he, the khanster gives up boxing for once and for all, and become the trick azz cuck he is???

that's why he is p4p. he doesnt need power to win fights. he wins in multiple ways.

floyd, ward, hopkins, just showed you for the last decade that you dont need power to win fights. the smartest fighter will win 9 times out of 10
