Interesting that he's interested in fighting Crawford but is on record saying Spence is too big. Maybe the amateur days are informing that thought.

You act as if you don't know that Spence is a lot bigger than Crawford......

He said he's cool with the Charlo Bros. and Spence since the amateurs on ESPN. He and Crawford are both 5'8", so we'll see! I don't think he's ready for that anytime soon! He needs to try to get Mikey Garcia! Better style for him!

Spence isn't that much bigger than Bud. Height and reach are very comparable (giving up 1 inch of height and 2 inches in reach) and they walk around near the same weight. Crawford has made several IG posts weighing in the 170s.

In fact, I think Bud came in heavier than Spence did in their last fights at WW. On the same day weigh-in.

It's not some dramatic difference in size. Spence is just likely stronger.

Oh I get all of that. I'm just noting that Spence isn't that much bigger than Crawford.

Good post. And I wouldn't even say that he's stronger. Bud wrestled and nobody outwrestles or uses their strength against Bud. Bud is very strong for his size. Always was.

I was going to post about the wrestling but I figured I'd save that until the debates about the fight came up lol but good ***** for not being a casual

You and I know that, but those that can't handle "The Truth" will always make him seem like he's some kind of monster, the same way they do with Mikey Garcia! As far as I'm concerned, if they make weight, who cares? If someone is crazy enough to drop 30lbs. in 8 weeks (which I consider a disadvantage) before a professional fight, then God Bless! We saw what happened last weekend to O'Connor! Not a good look!
