How do you see him going vs: Crawford Madrimov Ortiz Bohachuk Fundora Zayas I think he knocks out Fundora, has a good chances against Bohachuk and Ortiz and might outlast both in a war (although I wouldn't pick him with confidence). Zayas probably outboxes him. Crawford and Madrimov knock him out
I think he has a good shot against any of those guys. Including crawford. Tim has a solid chin. So to do THAT to Tim is ****ing crazy impressive. Dude is dangerous and a problem for those guys. And crawford is closing in on 40.
I'd go: stops Fundora, loses to Crawford and Madrimov. Not sure about the others. Him and Madrimov would be a fun clash of styles.
Crawford is so overhyped man.. he looked **** against Madrimov .. this guy's had one of the easiest paths paved for him.. his resume depth is pathetic considering how many fights he's had.. a shot Brook, Khan & Spence.. Spence.. another one that was always over hyped as well.. let alone all the weight grifting Crawfords done his entire career .. the guy could have fought at LMW 5 YEARS ago.. at least..
He beheads Fundora. Crawford and Madrimov are his actual competition, I think I would favour both over him by close decision. For Virgil Ortiz, I wouldn’t be surprised if he and Oscar decide that 160 is the optimal weight for him after seeing this.
What hype? What the hell are you talking about? A guy like Tim Tszyu who hasn’t done **** had more hype than Crawford who was, -The lineal&legitimate champion at 135, -Undisputed champion at 140, -Undisputed champion at 147 despite being ducked by the entire PBC universe for 5 years, -Now a legitimate titlist at 154, taking on arguably the #1 guy in his first fight at the weight in a fight which was the very definition of high risk, low reward. Agenda driven knuckle-heads like you are why a guy like Tim Tszyu got more opportunities than the likes of Murtazaliev and Madrimov, It’s also Why PBC was able to freeze Crawford out of the scene for half a ****ing decade.
I think Crawford decisions him (too much craft and ring IQ), but I suspect he beats Fundora and quite possibly by KO. I fancy Madrimov by decision as well, though with some reservations, and I think Ortiz and Bohachuk are 50-50 shootouts.
