Weigh-in results for Canelo-Crawford (including undercard)

Look at how super lean Crawford looks weighing 167.5lbs. People been trying to sell us this narrative that he's small and has come up from 135 when in reality he's always been huge, has been cutting and rehydrating a lot of weight in every weight class he's fought at, has very often been the much or bigger man, rarely the smaller, extremely rarely if ever at all much smaller, let alone way smaller, or at worst has been fighting guys roughly his size, and has never looked remotely or ever been undersized at any weight class he's fought at.

FTR, career 168 Carl Froch used to come in weighing 170-172 max on fight night with extremely low body fat like Crawford is at this weight.

Career 160 GGG's very consistent fight night weight was 170

Crawford is not weighing 170 looking a bit soft he's weighing 170 whilst being super lean with very low body fat

How much is he going to rehydrate and weigh on fight night? At least 175 is my guess bare minimum and he will still look very lean. Imagine fighting in your sixth weight class and still being as lean as that whilst weighing 40lbs heavier than the weight you had to make in your first weight class.

Like I said, weight bullying makes a complete mockery of having weight classes in the first place and multi-weight champs who are actually facing bigger, much or way bigger and longer opponents when they move up in weight moving up in weight is a very different and much more difficult and risky thing to do than fighters who face much smaller opponents or smaller or at worst ones roughly their size as they ascend through the weight classes. Very different but people act like it's the same

Thanks

Yeah, he was another one who wasn't rehyrating much weight

Don't get me wrong, Crawford is an exceptional fighter, one of the very best and most skilful of this generation, he doesn't run or hold like an octopus and he isn't dirty, and I like him and his style of fighting but I'm not going to play this silly little game of make believe whenever we have two fighters who are roughly the same size as each other, or one is not that much bigger than the other, that it's a chihuahuas vs a pitbull because one has been campaigning at a higher weight

Haney in his 140 debut coming up from 135 weighed 9lbs more than career 140 Rougarou, blowing all the way up to 165 on fight night, but we're supposed to just accept the narrative he was the smaller man

Not saying it's the same with Crawford and Clenelo but the David vs Goliath narrative isn't even remotely close to being accurate

 

Yes he said it himself: ''This is the first fight where I don't have to cut muscle''

He weighed 169.8 vs Madrimov, a super lean 169.8, over a pound more than career 154 Madrimov weighed. Madrimov looked bigger and thicker but he wasn't bigger because Crawford was heavier than him


He might come in at 175 for this fight, or maybe more and roughly the same as Clenelo. I don't know but I think he will be at least 175 and judging from how lean he looked at the weigh in he's still going to be lean weighing that much and fast and sharp too
