Do you think Crawford could win a title at JMW, or is WW his limit? Maybe he could win the WBO title off Sadam Ali, assuming he still has the title by then.
He was also 100x the fighter Bud is (and I like Bud) I think his ceiling of dominance is welter (and even there he might find himself leveled out a bit more as the regular sized fish in a regular sized pond for a change) and I do not see him in any way shape or form competing with a Lara, for instance.
Whitaker was 100x the fighter any of the current fighters are. He'd beat everyone in the current LW division, and 90% of the current JWW-WW division.
I thikn 147 will be where his explosiveness and power still carry some. After that, I could see him being dwarfed andover powered by naturally stronger fighters. See Shane Mosley for example. 135 - 147, explosive power. 154...average (If that).
