Fight night weights for full Crawford vs Madrimov card

Remember when Serge speaks, the world needs to listen

I told you that Crawford has, all in complete contrast to Loma, very often been the much bigger or bigger guy, very rarely if ever at all much smaller, and that he was gigantic for 135, huge for 140, very big for 147, and he weighed more than career 154 pounder Madrimov for his first fight at the weight

I also told you that he's been rehydrating as much as 17-18lbs in every division he's campaigned in and that when he moves up in weight he's often been the heavier man, always has a reach advantage or a big/huge one, and even in his third division he was at worst facing opponents roughly his size

But Bud is a four weight champion doe and he came up from 135. Yeah, a division he was coming in as high as 153 for

Crawford for his 154 debut weighed a few ounces less than career 160 pounder GGG's average fight night weight. Let that sink in

You know, the same GGG who fought Clenelo x 3 ie. the same Clenelo who Crawford wanted to jump up three divisions to face. Clenelo weighs about 8-10lbs more than Crawford

Crawford weighed more than Madrimov even though it was his first fight at the weight

Observe in the post below how Serge combines his knowledge, logic and reasoning to reach his conclusion, a conclusion which, as per usual, has been proven to be the correct one without him ever having seen any of Madrimov's fight night weights or Crawford's at 147 and obviously 154

 

Crawford coming in as high as 153 at 135 a decade ago

As high as 157 eight years ago

He was clearly coming in at 162 at least at 147 because you could see he looked very noticeably bigger at that weight than he did at 140

And he's very noticeably bigger at 154

I said I suspected he would be coming in about 170 at 154

He was walking around at 177 six years ago, said he was 180 last year, Madrimov walks around at 174-175 now but two years ago he was walking around at 160-164

 

Yeah, I've never denied that. Most fighters probably rehydrate about 10lbs on average, many more and much more than that

But it's not normal for fighters making the debut in their 4th division to weigh more than their opponent who is a career fighter at that weight

And the reason we're talking about Crawford rehydrating the amount of weight he has been in every division he's fought in is because we are compering him in P4P debates to fighters who are routinely fighting opponents bigger, much or way than them with longer or much longer reaches.

Crawford fans act like he's fighting much bigger guys than him when that has just not been the case which is a complete contrast to what Loma and Usyk have been doing

Nelson is Crawford's gym mate

And Loma has fought many big punchers or KO artists not only his size but bigger or way bigger. Crawford has fought 2 KO artists his size in 41 fights: Madrimov and Mean Machine

And Usyk is fighting giants way bigger than him who can punch holes in castle walls for goodness sake
