    Zab Judah is actually more of a physical specimen
    than Crawford but mentally Crawford is a stone killer,
    and he can hold it together. Zab can be out toughed
    and outboxed if he can't bully or really put
    a hurting on someone (see Floyd, Cotto, Spinks I, Baldomir etc..) Crawford would do the same
    thing thing except he'd inflict more punishment.

    If Zab can't ice him early, he's gonna stop throwing multiples
    and resort to only trying to counter with his left uppercut.
    (This happens every fight when he can't stop someone). If he stops throwing he won't survive Crawford because Crawford is gonna box steady, and push him around until he caves.

    'Find a way to lose' is an excellent summary of Zab. Super talented, super stupid...

    nah that's how I'd describe Herol Graham.
    Zab won plenty of world title fights and unified.

    Close fight but I see Zab doing the chicken dance again late in the rounds.

    Gamboa's inactivity caught up with him. An active Gamboa most likely would've easily went 12 rounds with Crawford. Also, Crawford is no Mayweather, so its difficult to decide how Crawford would do against a prime Judah, who has a similar reach and is just as skilled as he is.

    Prime Zab destroys Horn in less than 3 rounds. Crawford isn't that level yet ....

    Yeah it must have been "inactivity" that knocked him down FOUR times the last one completely off his feet. Keep spinning

    Gamboa was easily outjabbing and outboxing Crawford in the early rounds, but due to not fighting for over a year gassed out. I still give credit to Crawford for winning, since Gamboa if not for the inactivity was easily the best guy at 135. After Postol Crawford has fought nothing but trash.

    This. Crawford has talent, but people are seriously overrating him on this forum.

    What unified undefeated WW champ Spinks? Zab won that inside the distance oh and beat undefeated future WBC LWW champ Witter and undefeated WBO LWW champ Corley. He also beat undefeated Matthysse

    Crawford hasn't proved he's on prime Judah's level yet imo.
