    Crawford will be in SEVERE trouble from the opening bell against Ruslan .

    I am 110% confident in a Ruslan knockout win .

    Im willing to ban bet Anyone in here .


    Crawford will no doubt will try to fight fire with fire against Ruslan when he begins to feel the overwhelming power in the Russians fist .

    He will refuse to back down from Ruslan once its starts to get ugly and rouch .

    That's part of it, but he also has enough pop in his punches to gain his opponent's respect.

    Believe me, if Mayweather couldn't get his opponents respect, I don't care how good his defense is, he would have gotten his ass beat by now.

    And Mayweather's defense is different than Pep's and Whitaker's anyway.

    Mayweather is more stationary. Also, Pep utilized more tricks than Mayweather despite his at least perceived lack of PFP power.

    Power counts in boxing.

    Why do you think Floyd avoided Margarito?

    He said "no power" though. So basically, Malinaggi.

    You talk about Margacheato like he was some one punch KO artist. He was heavy handed thanks to the concrete but that is as far as it goes.

    All you got to do is look at the the OTG list, and it is clear the importance of power over swiftness...you will find more power guys on the OTG list than purely swift ....as I mentined: Pep, Loche and Whitaker!!... Can name others that fall under Stucky swift as OTGs....

    Power,speed can be worked on.
    When I first went out to japan fighting I always had power but was sluggish,I worked on speed combo's and speed exercises and learned not to put everything into my punches all the time but always had it in my locker when I needed it

    Paulie's been a champion at both 140 and 147. Seems pretty far to me.

    As for this question, the answer is the 'speed', based on having the 'skills' to go with it.
