Can Crawford compete with big name fighters at 147?

Crawford has world class skills and he's very strong. Imo he can compete with any of the WWs fighting today.

 

He can definitely compete at 147, no doubt about it.

 

Bud rehydrated to 157 pounds against Postol. This is a huge drainer fighting at 140 to hold a size advantage. At 157, Bud will likely be 160+ on fight night.

 

I'd like to see him test the waters at 147 and see if he looks like the same fighter at 140 before giving a honest opinion.

 

The only thing is Postol and Dulorme don't hit like Spence and Thurman. Different leagues in terms of power.

 

Of course he can compete but he'll never be the MAN, Spence and brook are too big and strong. Spence rules the ww division and has for a couple years.

As long as Spence fights @47 no one can conquer him

 

Compete yes, dominate probably not.

 

Crawford would get smashed by Porter lol. I think he could be Khan, with a tune up before hand

 

Bro, it's too early for the crack pipe.

 

Like most in this thread have already stated, I favor Crawford over just about anyone at 147.

 

Beats them all.

 

I think he can more than compete at WW, IN fact I think he can beat most of the top guys at 147 pretty decisively.

 

For sure. Postol is at least a good fighter and that fight wasnt even close. He definitely does well in the 147 mix.

 

A big fan of Crawfords skills and think he beats all of them at Welterweight.
He probably should move up for much more challenging fights at the higher weight.

 

I think he'll be fine as long as he moves up properly; when his body is ready. Don't rush to the big dogs at 147, take a tuneup or two to feel out the size difference.
