    Sounds about right. Big weight bullies are big weight bullies can drop serious pounds.

    Crawford walks around 176-180 and was dropping down to 140.

    Eubank still has a bigger frame and bone structure.

    That's crazy considering GGG walks around at a similar weight to Crawford and Beterbiev is around 190lbs too.

    Nope

    He has said numerous times his maximum weight is 89kg but he is usually a few kilos under this weight because it's harder to lose weight as he is getting older so by staying disciplined he does not have to struggle as much.

    Read his last Instagram post, it's one of many insights into his mindset.

    No he doesn't. Crawford is a long lean guy, plus he lives a disciplined fighters lifestyle .

    Crawford showed himself on the scales before training camp for the Horn fight. He was 177 pounds. He's since deleted the Instagram post.

    I remember, just his socks on the scale. Mind games. If he ever goes that high in weight, it was probably on vacation or throughout the holiday season where he ate everything in sight for a month before getting back to his normal walk around weight. At his age, cutting that much weight would have caught up to him. Young men can handle it better, but he'd be gassing by the second half which is where he turns it up.

    He’s a big boy for his height, solid build. I’m impressed.

    I’m a big fan of his style and mentality and will be rooting for him next weekend.
