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

[Bjl12]

One thing about Crawford is he doesn't like being walked down.
Nor does he like doing the same thing in the opposite direction.
He wants it in the middle of the ring.
Diaz was almost helpless on the ropes, yet TC remained cautious.
Which is why Spence's size and style would be a nightmare for him.

Spence repeatedly leaves himself wide open for monster counter shots. Nobody has had the courage to open and exchange.

Crawford can hit without being hit and has the power to stop a guy like Spence in his tracks...forcing Errol to change his whole gameplan XD

Crawford passes the eye test and he has the size for Welterweight. Pac did it. Floyd did it. Why can't Crawford? He is the most technically gifted fighter in the sport. Yes more so than Loma to me. He is quicker than everyone there too.

He beats everyone.

Not everyone thinks that fool. But he is so good that he will be top5 for sure.

Who is "everybody"?

Spence is the man to go to at welter now. Maybe in 2020 Spence Crawford would be competitive. By then, Spence would be fighting at 160.

Weight and Strength won't beat Crawford, it will have to be skills, because Crawford is walking around at 177, pounds. That means he's going to have to lose 30 pounds, to fight at 147, it will have to be skills that beats Crawford not muscle, strength and weight.

30 LBS!!! TERENCE CRAWFORD CURRENTLY WEIGHS 177 MUST LOSE 30 POUNDS TO GET TO WELTERWEIGHT (EWW) https://********/FPGoIq2jEfA

The only fighters that would have the skills to beat Crawford are Spence Jr and Brooks.

If I missed anyone else please let me know.

It is not a guarantee. Although I believe he is the most talented 147lb'er right now based on skill set alone, we do not know how durable he is at the weight and he does get hit cleanly at times. He might get his clock cleaned. His punching power and ability to control range may also be less effective. Time will tell.

Same with Lomachenko. Moving up brings many questions. Some guys do it easier than others.

[STREET CLEANER]

Crawford has shown that he is at another level. I say we will see the best of Crawford at 147 because he is going to get pushed to the limit.

Better punch resistant naturally bigger skilled fighters are going to make him earn his victory.

[redmish]

Because he's very, very good and he has the frame to move up in weight comfortably. It will be an exceptional fighter that beats him at 147.

Crawford isnt going to dominate 147.
He had the easiest rode to the top at 140. I cant remember the last fighter to have it easy as he did for all the marbles.
