The Crawford hype train

Crawford is good. Very good in fact. However, I think at WW is where we will see if he is great.

Crawford has a lot skills and natural athletic ability, but fighting guys he is the same size as will tell us more. His power and chin will be the main things tested at 147. Also, there are fighters like Brook, Thurman and Spence who have speed, skills and power. Crawford had a great win against Gamboa, a quick, powerful and skillful fighter, but Gamboa had a lot of success. How will Crawford handle the aforementioned bigger guys with great skills and natural gifts, like Crawford?

Crawford seems the type of fighter who wants to test himself against the best so hopefully we will find out soon.

 

It stunk because Postol wasn't able to make it remotely competitive. It was the definition of an elite performance, he made a very good fighter look like an amateur. 'Not on par with what the other p4p fighters are doing', really? Name me a better win this year.

 

Was't Postol going to KO Crawford lol

 

how can you knock somebody out when they are running away all the time?

 

Fan of Crawford but pacman is another monster a past prime one still.

I don't see the toughness of Marquez or the defensive genius abilities of Floyd.

 

Wonder if Crawford would elect to fight as a south paw against Pac. I expect him to switch hit but it'd be interesting to see him try to out lefty the best lefty in the biz.

 

That's because Crawford had postol weary of opening up. He knew there would be a price to pay and he wasn't willing to pay. Pbf used to do this to guys all the time in his prime.

 

How can you knock out anyone when you yourself are scared to let your hands go because you know you will pay. Crawford made postol that way over the course of the fight. Do you know anything about boxing or do you think this is a video game?

I agree.

But my problem was that firstly Postol isn't a puncher and by round 6 he was mentally beaten. Crawford for me should have stood his ground and engaged or at least tried to push for the stoppage as I think he'd of got it.

As a Floyd fan even you can agree that if that'd been Floyd he'd have stood in the pocket and looked to hurt and perhaps force a stoppage over a mentally beaten fighter,whether he got it or not.

Again I said previously I rate Postol and would give Crawford all the props if he beats him, which he did easily. But I think whilst he performed well it was boring.

 

I think you'll find it's called the Crawdaddy Express

Fair post. I think Crawford had too much respect for postol at times. With that said postol is tough and isn't easy to put away. I think Crawford realized this. Crawford has usually put guys away when he broken them down mentally or physically he couldn't do that to postol.

 

True but the times he did land clean he shook up Postol which if I'm honest surprised me.

I just expected more from a guy who's meant to be the next big thing in the USA and boxing as a whole.

Must admit I'm far more impressed with Spence as opposed to Crawford as the future "Mayweather".

 

I am to spence destroyed Chris. With that said Crawford has faced much better overall comp as a pro than spence has.

 

Crawford was shaken to his boots by Gamboa so you can expect the same pattern with Crawford fights as was Khans, he'll be kept well away from big punchers.

 

I've said crawford could beat anyone from 135-147 after the breidis Prescott and I'm still sticking with that claim. I see nobody giving him problems at 47
