    Faded Gamboa had TC's number for the first 5-6 rounds iirc.

    Here's a question to add to the mix: how highly on Crawford's resume would stopping Linares at 135 rank?

    I was rooting for Gamboa but that wasn’t happening. It was competitive but Gamboa was fading. Gamboa was already in desperation mode when he stunned Crawford and Crawford kind of allowed it because he was looking to knock Gamboa out.

    My money would have to be on Crawford. T-craw would probably be around 15-20 heavier on fight night. Would be a highly entertaining fight though

    I didn't miss a thing. Simply correcting some of the Crawford fanboys who have long denied that Gamboa hurt Crawford visibly in that fight.

    Several Crawford fans denied that ever happened, whenever I brought it up in earlier discussions.

    Crawford's legs would be an issue for Lomachenko. Linares was fairly flat footed in his approach, Crawford wouldn't be. As for the size difference Crawford would be heavier, but their height is negligible as I've been saying on here for a long time. An inch isn't much. Loma fans have been growing Crawford into a giant opponent ever since the Loma vs Craw fight has been hypothesized.

    Crawford is longer than Loma, regardless of height.

    Loma would probably take the lead if they were fighting too, which would exaggerate Crawford’s length.

    Crawford is too big and long.

    In that fight I would have picked Lomachenko.....................Gamboa is not Lomachenko..........................yet he made Crawford look confused....................Lomachenko would have done much better................However, Crawford is a 147 lb. fighter now, says he will go up to middle weight in the future.

    It would be his best win without a shadow of a doubt and his fans would be telling us how it cements him as p4p no 1.

    Lomachenko has a better resume than Crawford after just 12 pro fights. It's incredible really

    Meanwhile Crawford is yet to face a real test after 32 pro fights. That is incredibly sad for a man who touts himself as the best.
