    And last but not least, Crawford is a huge weight bully who has typically been rehydrating 15-18 pounds for his fights at 135 AND even up at 140.

    Terence Crawford vs Andrey Klimov - contested at Lightweight

    Crawford 149 - Klimov 140

    Terence Crawford vs Yuriorkis Gamboa - contested at Lightweight

    Crawford 152 - Gamboa 145

    Terence Crawford vs Raymundo Beltran - contested at Lightweight

    Crawford 153 - Beltran 147

    Terence Crawford vs Hank Lundy - contested at Light-welterweight

    Crawford 155 - Lundy 151

    Crawford 155 - Jean 155 - contested at Light-welterweight

    Crawford 157 - Postol 152 - contested at Light-welterweight

    Crawford 157 - Diaz 161 - contested at Light-welterweight

    So as you can see Crawford has been the heavier man on fight night for all bar 2 of his fights (I think Molina might have been heavier so maybe 3) where his ring weights have been announced (and often by a significant amount) and in that one instance where he wasn't his opponent weighed the same as him *this post was written before Bud's last fight and I don't know what his ring weight was for that one - I'll update it later*

    Like I said Crawford was absolutely killing himself to make 135. So much so that it was pretty much the main theme for his HBO 2 Days special

    Crawford rehydrates 15-18lbs on fight night. He rehydrated 17lbs for Postol even though he'd only officially moved up to 140 the year before. Crawford actually weighed more for his lowest recorded fight night weight at lightweight than career light-welter Postol did for his fights against Aydin and Matthysse. Crawford was 149 and Postol was 148 for those two fights.

    Loma 139 - Sosa 142

    Loma 137 - Martinez 144

    At 126

    Loma 134 - Koasicha 133

    Loma 132 - Piriyapinyo 137

    https://s10.postimg.org/wgr66qr2x/loma_piri.png

    Loma 129 - Ramirez 135

    The maximum amount of weight Loma has hydrated since moving up to 130 is 9lbs, but it's only been 7lbs for 2 of his 5 fights up there, and the weight for 2 of the others wasn't announced, conversely, Crawford is still rehydrating 17lbs up at 140. So think about that one before you crucify Loma for picking on little Rigoblin. And also think about the fact that it was Rigoblin who called Loma out not the other way round. In fact, he waged a protracted Twitter campaign at him constantly accusing him of ducking him and the good old LDBC (most of whom said Rigo was going to knock Loma the F out) aided him in that campaign by tearing into Loma at every chance they could accusing him of ducking Rigoblin. They went in on Loma like a pack of wild animals for months and months, if not longer, saying he was running scared from Rigoblin. So Loma couldn't win no matter what he did.

    Let me know the last time Crawhype was outweighed by 11lbs in the ring, fighting on foreign soil and punched in the testicles 4000 times. I'll wait.

    I scored it 8-4 for Pacquiao but even though Horn won 4 rounds he didnt show anything that would make others fear him, it's been a while since I've seen the fight but I remember Pacquiao was very close to finishing Horn as well. If Crawford beats Spence or even drops down again and beats Mikey, I'll put him in my top3-5 p4p

    What about Spence?

    Crawford when asked if he was willing to fight him, stuttered and began deflecting away from the question by mentioning the fight that it's up to his promoters who he ends up fighting.

    The no1 P4P undisputed weight rehydrating bully

    When it's all laid out like this, it really is shocking how this guy is credited to be one of the best.

    I never forget watching Crawford starve himself on the HBO documentary. He could barely keep his eyes open.

    I guess in his mind, having that 20lb + weight advantage on fight night was worth all the sacrifice and going days without eating.

    That's not gangster talk, that's just straight talk. You taking sides in a conversation when you don't have clue as to what it's about. You don't have any real input on insight on the matter so you should stay in your lane.

    It's terrible grammar, which is why I didn't understand what you were trying to say. If what you actually meant was ''mind your own business'' then nope, public forums don't work that way. If you want to have a private chat between yourselves use pm's. Your posts about walters before the loma fight speak for themselves, its not about taking sides...

    Like I said, you don't a clue or an original thought in your head. You have no insight or relative input, just a bunch of yak. Now if you have a need to converse with someone call rent a friend because this is the last response you will get from me.

    Baseless insults don't do anything for your credibility, but carry on if it helps you sleep at night. I don't much care if you respond to my posts or not, i'll continue responding to yours as I see fit. You don't get to dictate who can weigh in on conversations on a public forum...

    You ever thought the reason the Postol hype came about was because some of us rate Crawford so lowly, that we thought a mediocre fighter like Postol could give him some issues? As opposed to us thinking he's some kind of world beater?

    And for the record when they were actually boxing each other in the middle of the ring in the first four rounds, it was a close fight, then the fifth happened when Crawford just came out raining bombs down trying to get him out of there, then he got the lead, and ran for the last 7, so technically, when standing in the middle of the ring mano a mano, neither really ha the upper hand. So based on skills Postol can hang with him better than most.
