Where would you rate Bud’s power overall from 1 to 10? How hard of a puncher is he, especially at 147 where he’s 8-0 (8KOs)?
Ion know man............he a real hitter. Everything he touched Spence with he rattled him with. Honestly pretty much everyone else as well. I always thought he was a more "physically strong" guy than a hitter. But he's clearly a hitter. He's not Tito or Randall Bailey. I'd say he's Oscar or Cotto level, his punches sap your strength and durability. He's 7-8 out of 10. I see no reason to argue otherwise.
Excellent puncher. A lot of it has to do with his timing and accuracy he catches guys with shots they don't see and it either puts them on their butt or shuts the lights off completely. He is the best kind of puncher IMO. He is not like say al Canelo or GGG where they have thudding power that you can really feel through your guard which makes you hesitant to take chances. With Crawford his opponents are not as intimidated by his power so they take chances which allows Bud to clap them quick.
This right here Crawford is one of those guys that hides his power and brings it out at the best moments. That being said, I don’t think he has the same type of heavy hands as someone like Beterbiev.
Yep that's what I reckon he is not a heavy handed dude like Beterbiev, GGG, Canelo and Tank it is timing an accuracy I believe Inoue is one of the only guys who is both he is heavy handed but also great timing and accuracy.
Funny how they say Khan is ''chinny'' but Crawford could only get a shot shell of him out of there with an illegal blow to the testicles So I guess Khan must have chinny testicles, right?
Sugar Ray Leonard was kinda like how you described. Didn’t have the snap of Tommy Hearns or Trinidad but had nasty timing and accuracy. Briedis also has a similar type of power. Not the force of Gassiev but great accuracy and technique as well.
To me he a pretty hard hitter, maybe an 8 of 10, but the fact that he's a switch hitter and great lefty and righty, makes hin somewhat of a modern day Marvin Hagler. Good power but hits you with shots you don't expect, which Hagler was great at.
