Because weight divisions barely mean anything anymore. Crawford already weighed slightly over the 168 limit against Madrimov at 154.
Good list. Off the top o' me head mine would be: hw Oleksandr Usyk cw Jai Opetaia lhw Dmitry Bivol smw Terence Crawford (i think he beats...
Witherspoon for sure, both in accomplishments and h2h. He’s very underrated at this point. At his best he could’ve troubled any of the great...
Great fight. Adams was robbed in his last fight so really he should’ve been coming in from a win against a good opponent. Bohachuk is a good...
I wrote my thoughts about the whole thing here/substack:...
Look at Leonard against Hearns 1, they both look skinny/wiry. Then look at Crawford in the Spence fight. He looks massive. They look at least two...

I had Canelo just edging it. I wonder how much the fact that people thought Canelo was just going to run through Bud played into people's...
This is the main thing I got from this fight: Crawford is the worst weight bully in the sport. Looked massive even at 168. And looked drained at...

Need to rewatch but I had Canelo winning 8 - 4. Moving and looking slick is good but it doesn’t win rounds on its own.
Frank Sanchez had an injured leg for the Kabayel fight iirc. If he's healed then this could be an awkward fight for Itauma.
Even if they had always fought at the exact same weight classes, Canelo would win. He's the better boxer. People think Crawford is better because...
Odd since they are friends and were part of the same gym for years. Charlo sends Spence to the shadow realm. Dude was already spent years ago.
