Does Crawford have any self awareness? Is he the dumbest boxer alive?

    Welcome. You have come closer to accepting the truth.

        He missed weight the first time and came back 2 hours later and made weight, in spite of moving up a weight class.
        Anyone who followed Yuri back then knew he was washed back then regardless if he still had his 0. He had moved up too many divisions from his best weight + had been inactive + had been dropped in about half his recent fights leading up to fighting Bud. Many cats back then thought less of Bud for getting stanky legged by a less than prime Yuri.

        In boxing terms you don't miss making weight til you don't make it in the second go around.

            Oh yeah, I'm sure that all the super genius boxing fans knew Yuri was "washed", but he was not considered washed by most fans and even boxing journalists. He was not being written about as being washed then as he is now.

            And I don't think I've ever heard an undefeated fighter being called washed, in all honesty. That's one of those "hindsight is 20/20" takes.

              Gamboa was always chinny. Anyone who followed him knew that. He was chinny at 126 and chinny at 130. Most people knew his better years were behind him too since he's Cuban, and every Cuban fighter leaves home once they pass their prime, unfortunately.

                Go dive into some old ass threads. Yuri wasn't Yuri already by that time in many fans minds mine included.

                And being washed dont care how many L's you got or don't got. Dude was past prime way back then though.

                    Who said he wasn't always chinny?

                    He's been knocked down 14 times in his career. That's why Haymon chose him for Tank & Tank should have knocked him the fxck out.

                    I think we have a different defintion of "washed".

                    Ali was past his prime in '74 when he beat Foreman, but he wasn't washed.

                    Washed means you have ZERO left.

                    He still had enough to beat Sosa, who is a tough out for most (outside of Loma).

                    He wasn't washed when he fought Crawford.
