    Duh, obviously Usyk.

    Crawford is a great fighter but he's forged a career fighting opponents he's much bigger than, bigger than or who are roughly the same size as him, who he often has a big or significant reach advantage over, has never been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights, whilst fighting exclusively at home sans once in 40 fights, and barely having fought any legit punchers, especially ones his size, let alone KO artists or a whole bunch of the hardest punchers in the sport, or ones way bigger and heavier than hi,. In other words, the complete antithesis of Usyk. It's way easier to be ''dominant'' when you're doing the former than the later. Way more :facepalm:

    It would be a good fight but Crawford wouldn't be able to put a dent in Usyk, he ain't outboxing him over 12 rounds, he ain't outlasting him over 12 rounds, and Usyk is much tougher. Either Usyk UD or late stoppage.

    I had to go on a Crawford binge watch earlier today to back up some arguments I was making against him, one of those fights was the Postol fight (which was horrible), where the commentators at one point mention that Postol had more reach than Crawford, and I believe this is the only time he's been at a reach disadvantage in his career. Agree on all other points though.

    He actually even has a longer reach than beanpole Postol albeit only slightly.

    Yeah it was. Crawford fought Postol like Postol could punch like one of the many big or huge punchers Usyk has fought.

    Crawford is a great fighter but he ain't beating a same size Usyk

    She can identify as whatever she wants now, I wonder what would happen if a white person identified as a black person and started doing black face in public, would that be acceptable?
