    if you're using mythical sparring stories as a guide to who beats who, you're bonkers.

    Maidana and Castillo say hello. On other hand nobody actually has beaten Crawford yet.

    36-38 year old mayweather who threw 20 pot shots per round. Not the mayweather that demolished coralles.

    You can’t compare an old fighter to a prime fighter coming off a career best win.

    You don’t actually think maidana beat mayweather do you?!! Castillo fight was close but neither of the maidana fights were no matter how much you try.

    I thought the Avanesyan win was under rated.

    Maidana didn’t beat him. DLH probably did though.

    yeah, this is what makes you realise how good these elite guys are, Avaneysan was this supposed killer and avoided fighter, battered josh kelly, Benn avoided him, then crawford just toyed with him in 2nd gear before KO’ing him without really trying.

    Agreed. Though there's more than a hint of dirt around that with the burst gloves.

    Avanesyan's been withering about Crawford on Instagram since Saturday, calling him a cheat - and has even posted pictures of Crawford's bulging gloves from Saturday.

    I'm certainly not going down the Wilder route here. But no doubt Crawford shouldn't have been allowed to go out for his final round v Avanesyan with those gloves.

    Would it have made a difference? Doubt it.

    Maidana did in the 1st fight. The Oz fight was a draw.
