Crawford is a weight bully, will get exposed fighting guys his size with a chin

Kell Brook will prove your point tomorrow

 

How is he bigger than Spence, Thurman, Ortiz, Jr., Taylor, or Ugas?

 

Toughest fight of Crawfords career for sure.

 

Not really. Due to so many weight classes and how the weighins are structured, it´s easy for some to fight at a much lower weight class.
It´s clear that someone like Jarret Hurd always has a size advantage.
Chavez Jr. managed to squeak himself down to 160 and now he can´t even make 168.
It´s like saying that monstrous punchers don´t exist.

 

So just how much bigger is he than his opponents?
Crawford, who won his first belt at 135.

 

I don't think the fight will be that hard for Crawford. Easy work.

 

Weight bullying is an absolute myth.

If you can safely make weight, you belong in that weight class.

Crawford could make weight at 135 pounds, where he beat the best in the division, fair play.

Crawford could make weight at 140 pounds, where he beat everyone in the division, fair play.

Crawford can make weight at 147 pounds, but hasn't really faced a top WW until now, and no one truly knows if Brook is still a top WW, I think he is, but it's hard to say.

Id like to see Crawford in with Pac and the winner of Spence - Garcia.

 

You are not the first person to suggest that.

 

Weight bully? You sound like a *****.

"Oh no you big bully" what a joke

He moved up from 135! All fighters cut weight!

 

People throughout all ages have suggested it about many many fighters.

Jeffries and Johnson were both considered too big for their era and bully's.

Both Klitschko brothers were considered weight bullies, as well as Lewis, Bowe and now Fury.

It's nothing new, it's just a load of bs.

 

Crawford rehydrated 18 pounds when he was at 140. At 147, he's probably 160+ on fight night.

 

Well he won't be the bigger man when that first bell dings tonight. And no way he bullies Brook on the inside or will be the stronger man in there! I wanna see how Crawfords chin holds up against a real puncher!?

 

Crawford is not a bully

He fights people on his level - Washed up Brook (post-machete) & Khan (Light Welter)

BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

Get back under Bob's desk Bud!

 

As for weight bullying in divisions you have to make weight, it's obvious some fighters maintain a size advantage in these divisions by some means. So that's what people are talking about. There is a spectrum in each weight class and there are fighters who push it to the limit to get their size advantage, while others are in the middle and some cut little. You would have to be blind not to see that.

Some people are physically able to cut more weight and perform, you can argue that's a physical talent, but it's a pretty absurd trait to reward. You can argue there is also a benefit to not cutting much, but that is clearly not much of a benefit if heavy cutters often tend to dominate with size advantage.

The fighters who are clearly trying to cut more than others to stay in a lower division to get an advantage are weight bullies. Whether Crawford is or not at 147, I'm not sure, but weight bullies exist. Chavez Jr is probably the most obvious example, and the Lee fight was a pretty ridiculous example of this phenom. In UFC, Darren Till was a decent example, but at least he was up front about being a massive cutter and really belonging in a higher division, which he ultimately moved to.

HW's can't truly be weight bullies because there's no limit to make and there's no higher division to avoid.
