Crawford's defense, he's no Mayweather

How many

 

O don’t get it twisted behind the handsome smiling facade SRL was the most vicious finisher in the game. Put his skills and athleticism to one side once he hurt you he was going to finish you off. He did fight the best. Bud still needs to fight the best at Welterweight but he fought the best at Lightweight and Junior Welterweight.

 

When Crawford focuses on defense he’s very hard to hit, recently we’ve seen a more gung ho version confident of hurting and stopping his opponents and not scared to eat a couple of punches in the process. That’s the Crawford I love to watch. But yeah:

Only Canelo is arguably slicker than Crawford but without his quick feet.

 

I remember when GGG took a few from Brook and had some marks. The experts determined he lacked elite skills.

 

Crawford is trying to hurt people in there with power shots so you leave some openings when you do that. If you concentrate on defense every minute of course you are going to be harder to hit

 

Indeed he did. Two of the best fights he displayed his offense were against Corrales and Gatti.
