Im calling it right now and taking bets!

beats everyone, but spence. avatar bet.

 

with the exception being thurman who is a stylistic nightmare that mutates in every fight I have seen him in. He has good power to go with that morfing style. A real test for bud.

 

If Crawford moved to welter now he would not beat any of the top 5.

1. Spence
2. Thurman
3. Garcia
4. Porter
5. Brook

He needs to wait a few years and mature.

 

I called crawford was the best from 135-147 when he beat prescott. Nothing has changed. Crawford kos thurman or garcia. They will never get in the ring with crawford. I think spence and porter will fight him but they will lose.

 

good one! hahahahahaha

 

Would he even get to fight all of them though?

 

I'll make my assessment once I see him in with one of those top 5 guys. And no, the Pac Horn winner isn't a good enough barometer at this stage. I really think Crawford has the skills to beat most of those guys. Maybe even all of them, but the competition at the top of 147 is levels above his current and previous competition. And a few of them are also really big welterweights. I can't wait though.

 

Horn gives him a scare

 

Crawford deserved everything he gotten including being call "Undisputed champ at 140" but here the thing, he going to have a hard time fighting those boys at 147.

Everybody is already saying that Crawford would beat everyone at 147.

Let make 1 thing clear - Spence, Thurman, Brook, Garcia, Porter, Pacquiao, Vargas, Peterson, Ponomarev, and Ali are all better than Crawford best opponent and are operating at the highest level at 147.

He's not going to just walk in at 147 and steamroll these guys. He may beat some of them but I can't see him beating them all.

The only bet I would take is with Spence....I think Spence walks Crawford down and washes him.

 

Completely disagree...Crawford ain't no Floyd and Spence ain't no Canelo.

There is no such thing as being exposed when you are fighting at the elite level..the fights are suppose to be tough, not easy. But you are right in a sense, Brook early on was using lateral movement and hitting Spence with his right hand early on but like all true elite level fighters, Spence stuck with his fundamentals (never broke form), applied educated pressure with a sustained devastating body attack, broke Brook down and then broke his eye socket.

You don't call facing adversity being exposed unless you loss.

Floyd faced that when he fought Judah, for the 1st four rounds, Judah was beating Floyd but then Floyd figured him out in the 5th and dominated from there. That's what happens when you fight elite level competition.

Let see what happens when Crawford fights someone elite at 147, no fighter at 140 will give him any adversity and cause him to really use his ring IQ and his tools.

 

pretty big call considering we have not even seen him at 147
