Is anyone else a little bothered that Crawford isn't going up to 175? Ever?

    This is trading card schoolyard mentality. Always in search for something bigger and to one-up everything.

    A super middle or maybe even middle with a high work rate might already beat Crawford given the correct style. Madrimov did in the eyes of many... Canelo had a really bad workrate for many fights.

    Bivol beats crawford handily at lhw. If he still can make super middle, I think he wins there, too. Canelo already declined that chance.

    Btw this goes to show how this great 'undisputed' label is more often than not about who gets the chance to fight for it. Another case is benavidez in hindsight. He was really big for the division with a good workrate and had he fought canelo he would have had great chances of becoming undisputed. Denied!

    I don’t even think Crawford should defend at 168. Crawford should move back and fight at his natural weight. Maybe try 160 but not higher than that, Crawford is small compared to the other guys at 168 and up. 175 would be stupid.
