    OMG, the single biggest punching machine of the time that excited the hell out of ppl. on HBO hurt a green, drained Crawford to the point... of actually getting knocked out by Crawford.

    I'm convinced, Crawford has china cheen.

    That same Gamboa would’ve dropped and hurt Lomachenko.

    Don't get mad at me because this thread is a desperate reach. I gave you a great response as to why Crawford was rocked. With that said I think Spence beats Crawford but not because of Crawford's chin it will be his body. Spence will ruin it.

    Being drained is sometimes even worse than fighting guys bigger than you. Crawford was drained at 135 and he was killing himself to make weight.

    Try going without food for a while and notice how lethargic and weak you will feel.

    Its Crawfords fault for being drained and choosing to make 135, the facts are he was still drained.

    And even though he was stunned and hurt by Gamboa it's not a big deal. It's almost impossible to find a guy who has never been rocked.

    Even Hagler who's known for ATG chin was rocked HEAVY by one punch by a natural JMW. Everybody gets rocked man, that tends to happen when somebody punches you in the face. It's more important how you respond after that.

    Everybody gets rocked though. This thread is a bit of a LOL because like I said everybody who boxes gets rocked. Its inevitable.

    It's not uncommon for very good fighters to get buzzed by lesser opponents. Darnell Boone dropped Kovalev and Ward. Boone could always bang but, skills wise was way below Ward and Kov. If you haven't forgotten, this is boxing. People are supposed to get hit.

    No doubt, which is why a puncher always has a shot. It's what makes boxing so exciting. The underdog can take out the superstar. It keeps people coming back.

    I bet Crawford himself is embarrassed that he went life and death with a Cuban midget. It's the equivalent of Lomachenko getting rocked by Omar Narvaez :lol:

    He still had a physical size advantage over his opponents, and you are naturally stronger as well. Crawford is a natural 154 pounder picking on undersized lower weight fighters.

    Spence was rocked by Lartey and he showed against Brook his chin is good enough. Thurman was hurt badly by Collazo, Marquez absolutely slept pac man, all I’m saying is don’t pick one round to make a point, bring more than one example. People with shaky chins always get exposed at world level and Crawford has been at world level for quite some time now.

    Welcome to boxing.

    Jose Cotto took Canelo's feet from under him, yet GGG wasn't even able to make his knees as much as buckle.
