I see Crawford as the next fighter to 'do a wilder'

[Shadoww702]

I.e fight weak opposition (at the very least neither have beat an elite fighter) all his career and lose when he steps it up to cash out late on in his career. Now before people start crying, Crawford is clearly technically way better than wilder (but didn't broner and charlo 'clearly pass the eye test' too?) but there's been warning signs already at welterweight, and he's spent his whole career fighting limited opposition. Also on a side note it's funny how Crawford is p4p top 3 for dominating 140 but when Taylor beats better fighters at that Weight he's not even in the top 10 and the division is 'weak', wonder why that is.... Anyway also a similarity in sense that they both had no interest in fighting an elite guy until they sensed they were weakened - wilder was desperate to fight fury after he'd put on 100lbs, Crawford started calling out spence saying fights gotta happen now as soon as he stumbled out of intensive care.

Who do you think beats him at 147?? Please don't say Pac??

LMAO Crawford is top dog of the welterweight division.
As soon as an elite steps up to him then we will all see just how good Bud is.
Lol. No just NO.

I see... but he called out Spence since day one at 147, right?... "cross-promotion", just like Fury... right?...

... but, at least, Wilder cherry-picked the pillow-fisted Fury, right?... twice, right?

... (I'm afraid that you should take a walk... or something...)

Look at the answers here:

You've been trying to push this anti-Crawford agenda for a while, and I can understand people being disappointed by his level of competition...but NO

(...)

Do you really believe that
Sorry I just don’t see it
Hes a very sound boxer
Seems to have a pretty good chin and decent power
His defence is not bad imo and he’s blessed by being a switch hitter ( orthodox and southpaw )
I do agree though his resume is not up to date but can’t lay all the blame on him for that

Crawford is too good for a sustained beating from round uno..... (...)

Putting Crawford and Wilder in the same category makes about as much sense as comparing Golovkin and Wilder. Crawford is not turning down offers for career high money to fight his rivals... he’s been the one making offers if anything.

I doubt we'll see Crawford get completely outclassed in every round like Wilder. I can see Gervonta Davis catching a whooping like that though.

I'm sorry mate but you are wrong on both accounts. Fury was a fight that Deontay Wilder did not need. He only took it because Matchroom and Joshua had refused to fight him.

...

Yeah I can't see Crawford losing to D. Garcia, Pac, or Spence.

...

... look carefully at these above...

Yeah, He's trollin hard if he thinks Crawford isn't the REAL DEAL! He's got a mean streak as well.

... I don't think so: the guy seems to believe in his rationale...

Who you got winning tonite??? I want Garcia to win but Vargas is HUGE!!! And he's a SOLID B fighter. I'm thinking just bet the over/under 10.5 rounds...

Lol time and time again we see looking good against b/c level doesn't mean a lot at the elite level. How does anyone know he won't fold when an elite fighter takes the fight to him? Fact is he's never beaten a world class fighter, same as a lot of fighters who are hyped through the roof and then usually disappoint when they come up against a world class fighter. Sorry but don't trust people's eye tests on here any more cause I got told repeatedly it was clear that charlo broner and wilder were all the real deal. And the new guy hyped is a always better than the last. Funny Wilder's now a bum, what happened to him being able to ko Joshua, usyk, whyte and Fury now everyone's pretending they didn't rate him a lot of people missing the point too, not saying they are similar in style I'm saying people shouldn't keep assuming these fighters can 'step it up' when we've never seen them fight someone of a high level or face adversity. He's not fought a top 5 fighter at welter yet he's the top dog? Isn't that what wilder fans said too? Id rather he actually prove it rather than people's 'eye tests'.

I can’t pick anyone to beat him.

Think most people thought when someone could hold a decent Wilder right hand he’s get beat because he’s not very good

I understand where you are coming from..... but Crawford has looked skilled and been tested before..... the fact no one wants to fight him at 147 and tries to pretend he doesn't exist proves to me he is good. (coaches, promoters and other people in the game know he is very good).

Of course..... he will not get any credit until he fights an elite fighter, or what fans consider an elite fighter, at 147.

There is only Spence and Pacquaio now, and none of them are lining up.

Cawford might retire undefeated with no one fighting him...... Spence is a skeleton at 147 and will likely move up before facing Crawford..... Pacquaio will retire and not face him.

Crawford will be a "what-if" on this forum for many years.... mark my words.
