What’s the best way to fight and beat Crawford?

[Legends456]

I truly believe Crawford is a DOG but I no longer think he’s destined to be an ATG

I think that the very best version of Spence (who honestly we may never see again) would have a 50/50 chance with him

I think a fully fit Thurman has a chance as well

The Pacquiao that beat Margarito probably beats him

Mayweather beats him IMO also.

Porter might but I’m not sure

Well he is in good company no matter which way ya look at it.
To compare him to these great fighters must say something about Bud and to only give Spence 50 means you do recognise skill.
WAR BUD.

Yes that’s a fair point.

I like Crawford and used to see him as the next SRL. Not anymore, but still a really, really good fighter

No one at WW is gonna be able to beat Crawford. Yeah, you can lure him into a slugfest, but if you can't match him physically and mentally, eventually he'a gonna get to you, and end you. He's a master at making adjustments, and finding out your rhythym. Also, a master, and seriously the best boxer I've seen in a long long time at setting traps, and landing power KO counter shots.

It's gonna take a guy that can match him physically, and eapecially mentally. It's gonna be a very very hard task for any WW to beat him on the cards.

He's just too good at making adjustments, and setting you up for the fight altering shot.

A prime Manny, or a prime Floyd are the only ones I can see beating him, and even then, it would be a tough task for those ATGs. Thats how highly I rate his skills and abilities.

Truth is we don’t know until he fights top competition. He could get in the ring with DSG or Thurman and end up laid out. Look how tough a fight Porter was for Spence. Everybody thought Thurman was too young and prime for old Pac and Pac dominated him.

Truth is we never know until they’re actually in the ring, that simple.

Easy work. All you have to do is keep setting traps, and don't get tired. Stay focused.

If it were that easy then guys would be lining up to face Crawford. It might be "easy work" to land a right hand when Bud is disregarding defense to inflict damage but dealing with what we saw after that is far from easy.

Crawford literally beat the fight out of that man.

I think Crawford wins a narrow decision over the best Spence IF he boxes more. If it's a dogfight then it's 50-50 because Spence carries a fast pace and we all know about Bud's mean streak.

I see Thurman presenting problems early on as Bud adjusts to his timing. Eventually Crawford makes adjustments and takes over down the stretch for a close but clear decision win.

The best Pacquiao gets out to a lead by darting in and out while Bud starts slowly as usual. The fight heats up in the mid-rounds and both guys surge towards the finish line in a hellacious war. The difference is those early rounds, though, and Manny has enough in the tank to withstand the pressure from Crawford that normally drowns guys. Manny by split decision.

The best Mayweather wins a tactical, high-intensity chess match where both guys give each other fits. I could see Bud cranking it up a notch or two as the fight goes on but Floyd manages to remain composed anyway. I say Floyd wins a UD 115-113

Which says you're blind, because Kavaliauskas landed TWO shots. The left, then the right. But he did it so fast you didn't see one of them. Listen to the audio, go back and watch the fight in HD and watch Terence's head move without him wanting it to (Emmanuel Steward).

Anyone with stamina that can set similar traps beats Terence. That's Spence, that's Floyd, and daresay, Keef.

Yep. Lead straight right hand
