    ramirez - crawford is a 50/50 fight. If you had some early problems with a guy like egis kava, ramirez will give you problems.

    He will knock Mikey out any time he steps in that ring.

    tough to tell when hes never fought someone as good as mikey. but we will get a better idea if he fights a top level opponent one day.

    Mikey ain't got nothing for Crawford. He's too small and too short. Crawford can fight tall when he wants to. That is how Spence beat him and beat him convincingly. Crawford puts more hurt on him than Spence did.

    You right, his achilles heel is that he is a bad business man. Floyd came from Michigan, and Earl from Huston by way of New York. The mindset is totally different when it comes to getting that money. Those gents are making money moves while Crawford is standing on principals and it's costing him in money and fights.

    like i said, it will be interesting to see those qualities you reference, against an actual top fighter, which mikey is.

    He is the Jesse Lingard of boxing. We will wait for him to be at the age of 40 and still be considered as a talant

    Crawford lands on Ramirez like rain on a hot tin roof. Crawford is a stylistic nightmare for him and would destroy him.

    I like Mikey but he's food for Crawford. He will make it a good fight early because he has solid fundamentals and a good jab but in the end Crawford would be too much.

    He is scheduled to fight Zepeda on October 22nd … that’s a Friday.

    Apparently Bob Arum thinks he is a Friday night fight level prospect.

    mad disrespectful :eyebrow2:

    Calling a former undisputed champion especially in the four belt era….a prospect?
    I’m sorry this post deserves 0/10 stars.
