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

[GhostofDempsey]

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.

Exactly my thoughts. Tank will be exposed the first time he steps up. Looked like ripe shyt against a washed up Gamboa.

I see him more like Fury than Wilder.

Both can fight going backwards, forwards, inside, outside, either stance etc..

Crawford may lose a fight in future, but he isn’t going to lose one sided beatings. He’s way too good for that.

If anything, i see him schooling fighters when (IF) he steps up to better competition like Fury did. It’s hard to live with fighters who have very few weaknesses.

He really needs good opponents. He’s 33 this year. Outside of a few exceptions, most Welterweights decline around that age.

Someone name me just one proven world class prime fighter Crawford has beat? Just one...

Victor Postol had just stopped Matthysse and the odds were not one sided before that fight. I wouldnt say it was 50-50 split, but def 60-40 or 65-35. Postol could punch, box, huge amateur pedigree, big for the weight, in his prime, on form...even the people that picked crawford, didnt think hed pitch a shutout and drop him twice.

Postol was a world champion, and absolutely world class...elite? No, and that's the next step for Crawford. TBH Taylor had a tougher fight with an older inactive Postol, and he actually hurt Taylor in the 7th, and I rate Taylor highly.

You keep talking about the 'eye test' but there is legitimate evidence with Crawford, he beats solid to good fighters with a lot of separation, he doesnt lose many rounds, and I'm not sure why you keep bringing in other peoples false predictions when you yourself have been full of them. You also dont listen to the posters here who have superior knowledge to you

In all fairness, Taylor fought Postol in his 12th fight or something. So it’s hard to compare their performances.

Taylor is only 16 fights in, won the WBSS, has 2 belts and the ring belt, has beaten Crawford’s best opponent. Probably has a better win than Postol when he beat Prograis.

Crawford’s win over Postol is good though and i rate Crawford highly. But we really do need to see him in with another p4p rated fighter.

That's not the point of my post or the convo

Sorry but I don't see postol as a world class opponent just cause he beat mattysse, who had already lost to shot judah, Alexander and comfortably lost to garcia. Postol not done anything since either apart from lose to Taylor who was a novice at the time.

[Madison Boxing]

And on a side note why are people pretending like Crawford didn't get dropped by a nobody in his last fight too? Oh wait let me guess mean machine was actually underrated too or some ****e

Yeah he will lose and everyone will blame his age

Well I'll agree to disagree, but as per usual you'll be wrong and try to laugh it off after. Give me a list of 5 fighters between 140-147 that you think will beat crawford

[sicko]

Zero Shame in any of the guys at 147 losing to each other because it is a deep division

even guys like Ray Robinson, Thomas Dulorme, David Avanesyan are extremely dangerous in that Division and are capable of pulling off upsets

Bud is far more skilled than Wilder, sure he will lose eventually they all will...ALL of them
