    Some unsatisfied fans call Crawford a fraud who beats medicore champions by weight bullying and targets shot fighters. If he loses to Janibek who could be the only bigger guy he's ever faced what would it do to Crawfords legacy

    Janibek is a good fighter and it would be Crawfords best win by far.

    Janibek is a hype job even without Crawford having to beat him up.

    Janibek is the top dog in one of the worst divisions in the sport, and he also boils himself down to such an extent that he ended up in the hospital last year. I imagine the lack of quality he has faced as a pro and the fact that he is constantly cutting weight so dangerously will shave years off his career.

    It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Lara beat him, and then the Crawford fight dies in the water. If they did fight, Crawford beats Janibek, and I think he beats him pretty easily. Janibek isn't as good as people think.

    Crawford is one of the fighters I don't like, I hope Janibek shuts him down...
