    lolno. Of course not. On the one hand i'm positing that it might not be stupid to think that Bud can fight Canelo at 168 and lets's see what he looks like at 160. On the other I'm saying that Lomachenko is small at 140 and 135. I'll go back and look at my posts and see if I didn't make myself clear.

    That said, don't get on a pony about Rigondeaux. Even Lomachenko himself acknowledges that Rigo was too small and he's not all that excited about that victory, but if memory serves, you predicted Rigo would beat him and pretty sure I said it would be competitive at the very least.

    How many times has Crawford been outweighed by 2, 3 or 4 divisions?

    How many times has he even been outweighed by 1?

    How many times has he been giving away almost 6'' in reach in any of his world title fights which are his only fights at the world level?

    How many times has he even been giving away 2'' or even 3'' in them?

    How many times even just 1'' in them?

    How many times has he fought outside the US?

    How many times has he had to fight an opponent with a home ref and three home judges?

    He's had US refs for every signal pro fight IIRC and as per usual a scandalous amount of US judges even for fights against foreigners

    How many legit punchers has he fought?

    How many KO artists?

    How many his size?

    One and he was dropped by them

    How many legit punchers or KO artists has he fought who weighed 2 or 3 divisions more than him, in their countries with a home ref and three home judges and significant or huge reach advantages on him?

    Take your pick from this motley crew of complete featherfists, average punchers, glass-jawed leprechauns, unathletic plodders, senior citizens, shot cyclops, and peg-leg cripples.

    This is featherfist, non-athletes, and C level Central

    Klimov
    Postol
    Burns
    Indongo
    Beltran
    Jean
    Lundy
    Horn
    Diaz
    Dulorme
    Khan
    Benavidez
    Porter
    Brook
    Avanesyan
    Molina
    Egis
    Gamboa
    Spence

    I want answers to these questions

    For the record, Teofimo would be his best ever opponent, the hardest puncher he'd ever fought P4P, the most athletic and explosive, let alone a two division heavier Teofimo with a 3'' reach advantage in Teofimo's backyard with a home ref and three home judges when Crawford was injured.

    If tiny much lighter Gamboa with a 9'' shorter reach who had no right being at 135 can badly hurt Crawford with a solitary right hand and have him a clean punch or two away from a KO loss then god knows what a same size Teofimo would do to Crawford with one of his bombs, let alone a much bigger and heavier and longer Teofimo than him :facepalm:

    As for Loma running from the way bigger murderous punching Teofimo

    Crawford ran all night from the 5lb lighter featherfisted Postol who couldn't wobble a toddler with a baseball bat, sans the two flash KDs one of which was a rabbit punch :lol:



    Super Boots is the super fast power punching athletic phenom at 147 that Teofimo was at 135 but Crawford wants zero to do with him after previously saying he deserved his shot before Crawford beat Spence even though the fight would be in Crawford's country, with home refs and judges where he will get a fair shake, he weighs about the same as Super Boots and has the same reach as him.

    Now imagine Super Boots weighed two divisions heavier than Crawford, with a 3'' reach advantage, and came from a foreign country which Crawford had to travel to in order to fight him with the ref and all three judges coming from Super Boots' country. There's not a chance in hell Crawford would even dream of contemplating fighting him and we all know it. He won't dare go near him as it stands now for goodness sake.

    FTR, I think Crawford is an excellent fighter and one of the best in the world and of his generation but, duh, obviously it's far easier to go unbeaten and be ''dominant'' when you're facing light to average punching opponents you're much bigger than, bigger than, or roughly your size, who you always have a reach advantage over, often have a big/significant weight and reach advantage over, in your country with home refs and judges where the deck is stacked in your favour in weight divisions you're gigantic, very big or big for

    Than it is facing big punching or murderous punching ones who weigh 2 or 3 divisions more than you (and power is obviously magnified when your opponents are much heavier than you), with significant or huge reach advantages on you, on the road or in their backyards in divisions you're tiny for :facepalm:


    Loma who, unlike Crawford who is big even for his third weight class, looks at worst the same size as all those career 147s he's fought, still looks drained at weigh ins for his third weight, is tiny for his third weight class and is facing opponents who have huge physical advantage on him and lots of big punchers or even KO artists who are much bigger than him with big or huge reach advantages and hit hard for a division he doesn't belong in.

    Loma is routinely doing things Crawford has never done or has done very rarely. When Loma moves up in weight he is actually facing opponents who hold big/huge physical advantages on him, whereas, conversely, Crawford does so he's often still been the bigger man or at worst been facing opponents who are roughly the same size as him so when you hurl rocks at Loma I'm gonna hurl them right back at Terry and smash that glasshouse to smithereens

    Again, Crawford is a superb fighter but this is all basic commonsense

    He beat a wilder that can't box, fury also has a very poor resume especially when compared to other heavyweight champs past and present

    Apparently having some decent wins now makes you a lock as being an ATG.

    Haney is not a great fighter and Loma looked poorer v Haney than Bud did v Spence, Bud would have destroyed Haney who has no power, Loma is far more tentative than Bud.

    PBC nuthuggers are the worst bunch of nuthuggers when It comes to dealing with a loss. Butthurt is so strong that It’s visible.

    Crawford gets underappreciated far, far, far more often than overrated.

    Er. Haney is practically the same size as Crawford not 20lbs heavier with a near six inch reach advantage on him like he was against Loma :facepalm:

    Loma is an old 35 who took up boxing aged 4, had over 400 amateur fights including the WSB, is much smaller than Crawford and is fighting opponents way bigger and heavier than him in a division he's tiny for. Hence why he's become very injury-prone since he hit his early 30s and had to undergo multiple surgeries.

    Loma has way more miles on his clock and wear and tear on his body than Crawford does who took up the sport aged 7, had 70 amateur fights, is fighting opponents roughly his size in his third division, has often been the bigger man and very rarely the smaller one, fought a lot less punchers even though he's had 20 more pro fights, let alone ones way bigger than him, and he's subsequently been able to remain relatively injury free. I can't even recall of hearing him being injured let alone having to undergo multiple surgeries on career-threatening ones.

    Crawford probably hasn't been outweighed by 2 divisions and been giving away close to six inches even once let alone routinely or more than that. He hasn't even been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights once :facepalm:

    Loma is not tentative. Unlike Crawford, he's fighting way bigger and heavier opponents, lots of big punchers, in a division he doesn't belong in and he takes the fight to them and is very aggressive sans the first half of the fight against Teofimo :facepalm:

    Crawford was on his bike all night against Pitty Pat Postol despite weighing a division more than him

    The size difference between Haney and Loma is significantly more than it is between GGG and Haney and Haney has a longer reach than GGG.

    The size difference between Clenelo and Crawford isn't even as much as it is between Haney and Loma

    And Loma beat Haney in the vast vast majority of people's eyes
