    High ring IQ, 74'' reach, switch stance, athletic, mean : Bud is a problem

    I think highly of Crawford abilities, and I didn't realize how freakishly long his arms are.

    He has a 74'' reach which is more than Kovi or Big Charlo (as recorded in boxrec).

    Since Brook fought Spence and Porter, we can compare and Bud is some big a77 dude.

    He can do it all, I definitely favors him over anybody at 147 now and maybe in the last 147 decade too.

    I know is record is not that good at 147, but hey, guys like Horn and Brook did competitive vs elite guys (Pac, Porter, Spence) and beat them up easy, and eye test tells me this guy is hell.

    Crawford looks like the real deal but he still needs to fight and beat a prime elite opponent.

    Brook is clearly shot to bits and he's arguably the best name on Buds resume.

        This is why they make showcase fights. Because guys like you fall for it hook, line, and sinker.

          For reference Floyd is long-armed with a 72 inch reach and 26 inch arm length

          I think Bud has broader shoulders than Floyd

            So I should have made a thread, "Bud is short armed stiff with no balls" isn't it.

              You could have just made a thread saying that Crawford beat down a shot fighter as expected.

                Yep, Bud would give him serious problem IMO

                  I agree that Brook looked shot in there.

                  My thread is about how much Bud is a problem, and tonight I realized how big Bud is as a WW next to Brook.

                  Bud looked as big, longer than Spence.

                  I didn't learn much other than that.

                    He looks like a problem against very mediocre opposition.

                    Can he beat Danny - Spence winner, Porter, Thurman, even that young lions like Boots, Ortiz jr. That is a question now.

                    I like Crawford`s skills, but after last mismatches against washed up Khan and Brook I wouldn`t go that far and say I would favor him against everybody in last decade.
