Bud Crawford vs Erislandy Lara @ 154

[Robi13]

I’d favor Lara, can’t see a guy who got clipped my Gamboa knowing he is small with small arms going up to 54 and beating Lara... no way. Lara all the way

Why a *waste* of time?

His last fight was against Ramón Álvarez?

Bud is a welterweight and you want to bump him up to super?

What has Lara done to be granted such generosity?

Bud vs Pac's could be a PPV.

[Thuglife Nelo]

Who would promote this fight? Lol. It’s on Arum’s top priority list!

Oh no wait I can see the LDBC fans with their usual “Bud should sign with Al Haymon” then you could see such a matchup on Bounce TV at 4AM thug life time

I didn’t say they should fight next, it was just a question about if they did.

Is it really that hard to answer a question or do you make everything difficult? F outta here dude

I assume you think I’m black, well I’m not.

Sorry for not including a Mexican, that was awfully racist of me.

Lara doing his usual just enough inactivity to lose a close fight.

Lara's defense is near impeccable. Crawford won't crack it any better than Carnelo could.

I say it's a repeat of Postol - with Crawford doing barely nothing.

[Removed Now]

Lara. Honestly he might stop bud in deep rounds.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Crawford would likely beat this version of Lara tough fight though. If Lara used his legs and boxed at range it could be a very tough night for Crawford. A prime Lara likely beats him IMO.

Crawford doing barely nothing?
So you mean Crawford does a lot? Lol

Prime Lara outpoints Crawford at 154.

I am leaning towards Lara. He is a highly skilled boxer-puncher with speed, good foot work and a tight defense. He is very big at 154 on weighs 168 on fight night compared to 158 on fight night for Crawford. Lara is rock hard at 168 while Crawford is not that lean at 158 on fight night. Lara is a big 154 pound fighter who is as big as many middleweights. He has been at 154 his entire career. Crawford is a smaller welterweight who fought as low as 135. Crawford may be a little better for his weight and size but Lara is a much bigger, taller and stronger man so I think he beats Crawford at the 154 pound weight limit.
