Crawford vs Erik Morales 135 / who takes it?

How does this fight play out?

[KTFOKING]

Love me some El Terrible, but probably a bad match up for him. Crawford by decision, in a good fight though.

El Terrible has a much better chance against Lomachenko.

[Lion81]

Morales chases him all night and works his body.

Wins decision.

A natural 126 pounds against a natural welterweight?

Best división to Morales were 122, 126 and his limit was 130.

Did You see Morales against Zahir Raheem?

Greenk for beating me to it. The only difference is Morales would actually get KTFO because Crawford has power.

Doubt it. He only got stopped by Pacman twice and Garcia, all while being on the tail end of his career. Now, he didn't fight at 135 until Raheem so if we are saying Crawford against that version of Morales? Then yeah, he may stop him but won't be easy.

Agreed, that's why I said he has a better chance against Lomachenko.

Morales vs Mikey and Morales vs Lomachenko would be better hypotheticals.

Go watch the Raheem fight. That was a complete and utter destruction. Morales looked completely incapable of dealing with Raheem's length, athleticism and movement. Crawford has all that and power.

What you guys can't do is take prime Morales and suggest he'd perform the same at 135 as he did 9-13 pounds lighter. Those bigger men, especially the heavier hitters, would take a toll on him.

Morales just isn't going to do anything at 135 but get beaten up badly. That isn't a knock on Morales. Him losing would be like Shane losing to Forrest-a great fighter in a bad matchup.

this pretty well sums it up. morales was nearly washed up and out of shape by the time he touched 135...Crawford was a huge 135er and nearing his peak.

The better fight would be Pac when he fought at 135 vs Crawford. Bob would of gotten slaughtered.
