Did Crawford’s performance at 168 showed that he weight bullied all his previous appointments?

Crawford always made weight at the weigh-in. This “weight bully” bs is just nonsense.

 

I don't really like the term weight-bully. It just seems a bit strange and kind of a cop-out. Nothing is stopping other fighters from cutting a lot of weight. There are advantages and disadvantages of cutting a lot too, it can make you more lethargic, make your punches lose their snap, and even worsen your engine. But for what it's worth, as far as I can tell, Crawford has been cutting pretty moderate amounts of weight his whole career compared to his contemporaries, certainly not the huge amounts that guys like Jarrett Hurd have done. He competed as a lightweight in the amateurs with same-day weigh-ins so clearly he was always pretty scrawny as a younger man. He's gone through the weights pretty gradually and has clearly been loading more and more muscle onto his frame over a very long time-span. I don't think it's especially fair or even accurate to label Crawford a weight-bully, especially since it's most often done in an attempt to diminish his career.

 

Contract states you make weight at a given time and place, as long as that weight is made the boxer has fulfilled contractual responsibility.

Weight bullies another phrase to add to the other many useless phrases.

 

Yes.

 

You make the weight you make weight. This term is just a dog whistle for haters.

 

He must absolutely kill himself to make weight to have that advantage lol.

He should really have been a middleweight.

 

Are you saying he bullied Canelo?
