Yeah, Crawford is not bad at all, he's a good fighter. Wouldn't surprise me if Algieri beat him though, he's such a tall fighter and uses his height well, and moves well. It's hard to know how a fighter will do against him because he's kind of unique in his division, unless it's against Pac or Floyd where we know he loses.
Algeiri with his movement and height is a potential hard fight for any fighter . Even Crawford himself . But I want to see how Algieiri looks and performs in a comeback fight . The embarrassing loss he suffered in his last fight could really ruin a fighter mentally . If a fighter is mentally ruined , your boxing career is practically over .
Personally, I think this is a great fight - and will certainly be tuning in. On paper it doesn't sound like it will be dramatic or explosive, but you never know. It's a title fight and they will both be motivated. It may not be Prov vs Matthysse, but it's certainly an intriguing match-up. Much more interested to see them fight each other than I would be to watch them fight anyone else (as I don't find either particularly compelling) - it's the match-up that is compelling here. Hope it gets made
