Terence Bud Crawford vs Sugar Ray Leonard @147

He is not.

SRL UD BTW.

 

So, what you said was that Crawford isn't bigger than Leonard. He is. That's the simple fact.

Doesn't mean that he would beat Leonard. With same day weigh-in at WW it would probably work against him. But that doesn't change the fact that he is bigger. He has posted a walk around weight at 185+ lbs ffs. He's massive.

 

What are you talking about? I quoted you directly as seen above.

Crawford is much bigger than Leonard. Leonard was perhaps a couple of pounds heavier in the ring than at the weigh in and probably had a walk around weight in the 150's. Crawford has posted walk around weights at 175+ and even 185+. He has said himself that he didn't put on weight for 168, rather just didn't have to cut muscle. No way Leonard was that big.

 

MW Leonard wasn't 170 lbs in the ring (I think 169,8 was Bud's exact weight in the ring against Madrimov). So even at 154, Bud was much bigger than Leonard at 160 (which wasn't prime Leonard, so don't know why we should use him).

Prime Leonard was probably around 150 in the ring, which is seven lbs less than Crawford was at 140. Not to mention the version who destroyed Spence.

Leonard said himself that he had to build himself up for 160 in the same day weigh in era, while Crawford has said he just doesn't have to cut muscle for 168 in the day before era.

Why don't just give this up. You're arguing against simple facts.

 

I would have to give Leonard the edge by decision. Bud hasn't faced anyone with Leonard's skill level, speed, and ring IQ.

 

Could go either way, but Crawford is way better at 168.

 

I'm not sure what Kalule has to do with anything.

Depends on what you mean by "dominate".

 

Leonard did exactly that - stopping Kalule inside of 9 rounds.

It would go something like Leonard/Benitez.

 

For the second and last time, I did not say Bud would beat Leonard because of this. In fact, I said it would work against him at WW with the same day weigh in. Of course, at 168 with the day before weigh in it would be a quite different thing. It all depends on rules and weight.

But he is walking around way heavier than Leonard did and was probably more than 10 lbs heavier in the ring for most of his WW fights, and at 170 for Madrimov he was probably some 15 lbs bigger than Leonard against Kalule.

So he's much bigger. I'll leave it at that.
