Why does everybody think Crawford is going to dominate 147 like he did 140

[Sheldon312]

If you look at the top guys at 147 and compare them to the guys Crawford had fought, you will see that there is a huge disparity in skill between guys like Spence, Porter, Danny, and Thurman compared to Diaz, Indongo, and Postol. People also forget that Crawford is going to be fighting bigger, stronger, and more hard-hitting punchers compared to guys at 140.

I do not think that at all. He's gonna go up against some heavy hitters. Balboa stunned him at 130 or 135? He's gonna be in with bigger guys, heavier hitters.
I'm a big fan of Bud's. I wish him well.

His best win was against Postol. And he ran all night in that fight. Not an entertaining sight.

Because that's the story that Top Rank is feeding to the boxing writers, and the writers generally push what he feeds them.

Terence Crawford is really good, but we won't see how good until he steps in with a real fighter at 147lbs, which likely won't happen for a long time

Haters gonna hate.
Crawford fights are like chessmatches from grandmasters, he does everything so fast and calculated that you don't know in which moment he put his opponent completely out of the fight.

[Pigeons]

Because of his accomplishments in his first 2 weight classes and his P4P standing.

Lineal at 135
Lineal + Undisputed at 140
P4P #1 (TBRB, BWAA)

I'll say flat out Crawford won't dominate 147 and will take an L or two if he faces the top guys. You can call him a weight bully all you want but there's no way the too welters can make 140 lbs let alone 135

Because they dksab, and anyone who is a Crawford fan has bucked teef that are gapped too

The wonderful thing about boxing, we get to actually find that out....IN THE RING.

I think Spence is only guy at 47. That will be 50/50. Everyone else I believe he beats. Not sure he beats them up. But I think he has enough skill to outclass the rest
