    Yeah Mikey tried this, didn't work out so well for him did it. It'd be a total dumbass move.

    Both Crawford and Lomachenko have moved up and been champs in 3 divisions respectively.

    So if Lomo has to move up another 2 to gain your “respect” as a P4P fighter does the same logic relate to Crawford?

    Should Crawford have to move up to 160 and engage with GGG/Canelo/Jacobs?

    At least, in that case, Mayweather would still enjoy 2 inches of reach advantage giving 2.5 inches in height. Not saying it's a fair fight for Mayweather size-wise BUT it made sense to SOME degree. This is utter bullocks. I'd understand if people were calling him to fight PAC but Bud is a big-big guy.

    Bud Crawford will end up at middleweight one day. He is simply too big for Lomachenko.

    No shame in this fight not happening. Loma is already fighting bigger guys.

    There are weight divisions in boxing for a reason.

    It's all about relative weight. Just because both of them moved up 3 divisions doesn't mean they are at their same relative weight class for their body. Lomachenko isn't able to make next weight classes' limit in fight night (139) but Bud is probably around 160+ when he fights.
    And we don't know where the time "I can't make the next weight class limit in the fight night" for Bud. Probably around where he has to give 5 inches in both heights and reach. Bud can kiss Lomachenko's footsteps all he wants, but he isn't going to be as great as him with handling his career like that.

    The difference is, like size, reach and height is a physical make up. Like I can't be an NBA player because I'm limited by my height.

    Speed, power etc can all be improved to a certain extent, it's not pure genetics, its not just "size" and technically height is a form of size, as is weight.

    Why stop at Crawford? Let’s go all the way and have Loma fight Wilder or Tyson Fury...

    As soon as he said Floyd never had any struggles against an opponent I had to just tune him out, Maidana gave Floyd hell in their first fight. Floyd is one of the best 147ers of the modern era IMO.

    No, Lomachenko should not fight Crawford.
    Loma's maxed out at 135. Campbell last night was significant bigger. Loma should look to collect the IBF belt and possibly move down to 130 again. Some good bouts there too.

    LMAO!! So you are comparing moving up 135 to 140 and the same as moving up from 140 to 160? The level of stupidity on this forum just went up another notch

    No I’m comparing moving up from 135 to 147 and 147 to 160 which is 12 and 13lbs respectively.....Crawford fights at 147 don’t you know.

    Try again kid.

    crawford needs to step up and fight GGG. ‘bud’ cuts from 175-180 to fight at 140-147. Lol!! crawford has talked a little **** about Gennady before... he needs to back it up.
