    I think this should be Crawford's first fight at 140, if he chooses to move up. Who would you pick to win?

    Provo by KO, Crawford is not as fast as Bradley and Algieri, so he would have a harder time staying away from Provo's power, Gamboa rocked him a few times Provo would definitely drop him.

    I think this stylistic match up could prove to favor Provo.

    Crawford very wide UD...

    Would box Provovdnikov's ears off and have the range to not get into trouble.

    I'd say Provdonikov by KO. Crawford doesn't have the best of chins, getting rocked by Gamboa, and one thing about Provodnikov is he's been able to shake and hurt Bradley and Algieri even in his loss.

    Yeah, like P4P Bradley, Herrera, and Algieri were able to outbox Provodnikov without any trouble. Each of those losses have been controversial; although, the Bradley fight not so much.

    Crawford should win, I think he has a big future ahead of him.

    Crawford. He's just a better boxer and is smarter.

    Herrera is physically far inferior to Crawford, specifically against Provodnikov, in my opinion.

    Algieri somewhat clearly outboxed Provodnikov to me. And I'm pretty sure Algieri is nowhere near the boxing level of Crawford all the way around.

    Bradley in the Provodnikov fight fought one of the absolute worst game plans that I have ever seen a top level fighter fight and still manage to rightfully win.

    Provo doesn't like it to the body, Crawford throws some of the best body shots in the sport.

    Bud scores at least one kd but Provo would def gas after Crawford takes it all away from him via bodyshots

    I think like all 3 ended up in the hospital too.
    I honestly think Provo's skills are somewhat underrated.

    People act like he can't box for **** yet he often catches and hurts these great boxers.
