    How does Crawford go against a prime Choc Mundine at 168?
    I know Choc was never the top dog at 168 but he was solid with good speed and power. Kessler and Ottke both said he had the best jab they had faced. Obviously Crawford is the better all around fighter but he is not a natural 168.

    I could see Crawford winning but I think prime Mundine gives him more issues than Canelo did last week.

    The more I watch these highlights I can see Mundine's speed and jab giving Crawford serious problems.
    He wouldn't plod forward throwing one shot at at time like the last version of Canelo we saw.

    The guy is a 2 time world champion lesser fighters than Mundine have tested Crawford.
    At 168 he has natural advantages and he is quicker than Crawford IMO.

    Crawford. Mundine became champion off a vacant belt. He's a solid belt holder but Crawford is too skilled and his iq is levels above

    Where is the fight taking place? Crawford has a great record fighting in his own country with his own referees & judges in fights overseen by American State Athletic Commissions on the shows of American promoters. Take those advantages off him & he might be like Team America at the recent World Boxing Championships.

    Seeing the majority of people so far seem to be giving Choc no chance lets say for arguments sake the fight takes place on the Gold Coast in Queensland :lol:

    With Queensland judges & a Qld ref, Crawford gets counted out mid-rounds with Mundine flat on his back.

    I'm sure Crawford's footwork and countering everything Canelo threw had nothing to do with him throwing 1 punch at a time lmao!

    I'm sure Crawford superior footspeed had nothing to do with him plodding forward.

    Crawford, without too many issues. Mundine was good, not great.

    Of course he rattled Ottke a few times without much experience at that, but Crawford's shot selection is far superior to Ottke, plus despite a general weight inferiority, Crawford punches harder than Sven.

    Crawford beat the legend Canelo. As we say in Australia when you beat a legend you become a legend.
