    Let's say you switch the Madrimov who fought Crawford with the Lara who fought Canelo and Paul Williams. How do you see this fight playing out? Madrimov is much more talented than Lara, but Lara had much more experience at a similar age.

    Lara is a stylistical problem but Crawford most likely finds a way

    His style Canelo and Spence are tailored made for Crawford both have slow footwork Canelo has good upper body movement but Crawford long arms negate that Lara don't mind stinking up the place has a long reach and ain't afraid to put on the track spikes

    Madrimov has a style symilar to Lara and Crawford handled him well.

    I'm not even sure. I just think for the reasons you mentioned you're getting a lot better version of Lara than you are with Madrimov. I never saw either of those fights. So **** knows.

    I’m still surprised he is a current belt holder! Who would have thought he’d be holding a strap more than a decade after he fought Canelo?

    Crawford more dog. Lara wouldnt turn it up after about round 8 or so. He would try to coast like he did against canelo
