    Crawford last fought at 147lbs July of 2023. Crawford took random drug test. He has 2 nutritionists, 2 trainers, and stays in the gym consistently. He did nothing different than what Michael Jordan did from 1988-91. Or what just about every football/basketball athlete does going from one level (high school or college) to the next (professional).......Difference is, Crawford had to do it because his body was maturing and he couldn't make weight that he normally was able to make, comfortably.

    Threads like this is the most ignorant and silliest threads because they are made due to the ignorance of self without research. And rather than using WiFi connection to do research, it's easier to be lazy and push defamation on the athlete. An athlete who has NEVER tested positive for any illegal substance whether enhancements or social drugs. And he has NEVER turned down a random test.

    An athlete who has gone out his way to be as professional as possible even when he knows he was in a horrible situation with Top Rank and their lack of promotion with him. An athlete that has literally invested MILLIONS into the neighborhood and surround areas that he come from. When he reps Omaha, he actually means that sh.... He's bought property, homes, apartment buildings, for housing of families in need. He does a lot of things that are never reported on this site, because y'all busy worrying about why isn't he fighting 3x a year like some young fighter right to get himself into position to get his first title.

    This man is a family man and the definition of a "People's Champ", thus the reason why he is celebrated by his neighborhood to the max. Dude got the key to the city twice....

    Crawford got more heat about drug testing than his opponent Canelo who has failed the test 2 separate times in his career. Give more heat that Ryan Garcia who failed the test 3x.......Gets more heat that Manny who turned down test during camp a few times while preparing for fights..... Mayweather failed a couple test.....but the guy that y'all choosing to make a thread about, questioning his ability to gain weight is Terence Crawford......

    It was 170 for Madrimov. Where did you get 171 for Canelo from?

    No he wasn't..... Damn y'all be lying y'all tales off for the sake of discussion.

    NOBODY at any point in Crawford's career referred to him as a weight bully. He was always heckled as being too small especially for the welterweight division. Crawford walked often entered the ring at 155 or so pounds while he competed at 140/47..... You look at the conferences leading up to the the Jeff Horn, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Errol Spence Jr., Israel Madrimov.....fights.... One thing that consistently was said in all the back and forth was that Crawford was too small. Each referred to their size compared to him as being an advantage in some way. "Light in the a$$" was said by Errol Spence. He was said not to be a "real welterweight" by Keith Thurman.

    Even the young guy Jaron Boots Ennis when people compared the 2. It was repeated that Boots is the much bigger guy and would be more powerful.

    It's hilarious how y'all change the narratives just to discredit that man's hard work.....

    Crawford the only man who in one conversation to be called too small, then the next conversation he is a weight bully, then the next conversation he's juicing........ Because this guy couldn't possibly just be a hard working athlete who loves the sport, his family, and the fans and does all he can to be as successful in the ring as possible.......lol

    Yup more a case that Canelo was off his roids the dirty juice turkey.

    The jump is kind of exagerrated also because Crawford killed himself to make 147 and Spence was a wasted prune in that bout. Both should have just agreed 154 wouldn't have changed the outcome. The impressive thing is how fresh Crawford is at his age but he didn't really have the hardest of careers.

    Anyway i'm still trying to figure out what Bumnelo's gameplan was. Looked like he just jumped in there and hoped a few hooks to the body would slow Crawford right down like it did Khan then land a right hand on him....lol pathetic.

    The hardest part of the fight for Crawford was refraining from levelling off on that ugly ginger midget at the end who's saving grace is his chin. Bivol wanted to also but didn't take any risks.

    Yeah, Crawford was around 175 for Canelo. But, still, he wasn't fighting 10-15 pounds above where he was normally fighting. So, Crawford's performance during the Canelo fight is a smoking gun for PED use, like the OP was implying.

    Not really. He was 176, I think it was, before starting camp for Horn. And he's not a Hatton, Duran or Toney. He stays in shape between fights. He''s just a naturally big guy.

    Not saying he isn't taking PEDs, though. Wouldn't be surprised If most do. But Canelo is the one who actually has pissed hot. So let's start there.

    I don't believe anything much i see in boxing.
    Crawford was officially weighed at 167.5 pounds but I don't even believe it. If he's only 5'8 or 5'9 i can't even see how he's that weight, looking at him, even if he was bigger than before. Never mind being 175 pounds in the actual ring. I don't believe any of it.

    I'm under no illusions about any of the top level boxers, even the ones that I am a fan of.

    Here's a good question, do y'all rate all PEDs the same? E.g., If a fighter pops for taking stuff that allows one to lose weight easier Vs a fighter that pops dirty for gaining muscle/strength. Both are obviously illegal and throws their wins into illegitimacy. Just curious what others think ...

    An example would be Canelo taking nandorone for losing weight (or whatever it was) Vs Benn taking muscle building strength roids.

    Nah. Pac was faster, stronger, with better endurance. Pac also ran from drug testing saying he needed cutoff dates for testing.

    Thats cheater speak.
