    Couple of things I am sure of is that Crawford doesn't have the chin and heart chris has this has been proven chris has fought far better fighters are you going to argue this?

    Crawford like I said before is a decent fighter who has some good tools but for me I have doubts about his chin and if he can win at the elite level

    No I don't I feel he could be a top fighter but he lacks a couple of things for me a chin being one of them him being rocked by little gamboa doesn't bode well for him when he fights guys who can crack at 140

    Gamboa can crack and is extremely fast. As far as I know, Crawford has never been down and he has fought some bangers so I have no reason to doubt his chin. Crawford clowned the guy who put Khan to sleep at 140 so I think he will do alright there.

    It's pointless. The only purpose of this thread is to build up Pac's win over Algieri.

    gomba hits nowhere near as hard as the hard hitters at 140 like ruslan,lucas,rios

    that's my point gamboa was small and rocked terry
    algeiri is more proven than Crawford at this time I hope he steps it up and fights lucas next or even ruslan

    I dont get the hype behind Crawford. I'd actually favour Algerie. Algerie isn't great but he does have advantages and against the right opponent, he would be the favourite. I think Khan would shut him out, too much speed. Crawford doesn't really have anything that would trouble Algeiri.

    I think Algeiri with his longer reach could outbox Crawford. He's not a bad boxer either, he outboxed Provodnikov better than Mathysee according to the scorecards. Bare in mind 2 KD's was scored against him.

    I can't see Crawford beating any of the top 140/147, his best win is a natural FW in Gamboa.. Except Garcia, not a fan of Garcia, very overrated.

    I'd love to see Mikey Garcia vs Crawford actually, would be a good test for both.

    I know, but I find boxing_master fun at times. Dulorme would beat Algieri at 140 in my opinion. Strange how some guy who was living in his Mom's basement and was knocked down about six times against Pac suddenly becomes the second incarnation of Willie Pep.

    I know haha. I fancy Dulorme along with quite a few of other guys to beat Algieri at 140. Herrera, Broner and Postol for sure, Vargas would be a good fight IMO and I'd favor Vargas.

    Algeiri has beaten Provodnikov, Crawford has beaten who?

    So why is it such a forgone conclusion?

    He just beat a top 10 contender at 140 in Dulorme.

    And what does Crawford have that can trouble Algieri? He's fast, has great timing, can switch stances, and has the higher ring IQ. Algieri is predictable, and hittable.

    Chin?:lol::rofl The guy hasn't been knocked out or down. Chris got knocked down 7 times in 2 fights yet you're questioning someone's chin? some great logic there:nut Chin will be a non factor in this fight for Crawford Chris doesn't punch hard enough to make an impact on Crawford, however, chin will be a factor for Chris because Crawford has carried his power up to 140 and he can and hurt Chris.

    if Crawford ruslan he would get knocked out and wouldn't even make it to 12 rounds:lol:

    when Crawford fights guys like ruslan and pac we will see how he does at least chris never gave up

    Crawford has yet to fight a elite fighter
