@140 lets say after Garcia hypothetically had a fight or 2 at the weight first. Would anybody tip Mikey to prevail?
Not really. Crawford beat the man that Mikey Garcia nearly retired to not face, quit Top Rank and still won't mention his name, Yuriorkis Gamboa!!! Crawford outboxes Garcia like he did Postol.
I always just assumed Garcia left Arum over money. I take it Gamboa was seen as high risk/low reward type in that case or was Gamboa really hot enough sht at the time to be favoured even? Agree Crawford wins.
Love both fighters but I believe Crawford is slowly making his way to be the best of this new generation of welterweights (I know he's 140 but I think he'll go up eventually)
I think the size difference is being overstated here. Bud has an inch height and couple inches reach on Mikey, I realise those 2 factors don't tell the whole story but it's not exactly Hearns/Duran type disparity.
