    Sounds like early excuses
    If Horn wasn’t 100% he wouldn’t fight he’s not stupid

    Jeff made weight, no excuses

    Crawford can't cry about size, it would be pathetic considering most of his best wins have been against smaller blokes.

    We have so many weight divisions any way 10lbs on the street is nothing. The size difference won't be more than 5lbs anyway probably less.

    If Jeff wins he will be a superstar and must shoot up p4p rankings

    I don’t believe he is a weight bully that’s my point. I don’t care what he walks around at, What does he weigh in.

    Yeah that’s true he got there in the end that’s what matters. I’m glad he gets to defend his title, but he will be feeling the effects of that weight cut in the ring though.

    Don’t worry Crawford won’t cry about size and he shouldn’t either. I don’t care what these guys are rehydrating too long as they make weight.

    Old skin and bones struggled to make weight.

    He will struggle badly in the ring.

    You mean the same Postol that was fresh off a knockout win over Matthysse? The undefeated (at the time) fighter with a belt?

    You seriously think he was not only a bum, but only beaten by Crawford due to some mythical size advantage Bud had.

    Hilarious.

    Crawford was the much bigger guy against Gamboa, I'd give you that. But to imply Bud has no skill is foolish.

    Postal beat a ruined past prime Lucas. Who else did he beat? And what else has he gone on to do since his loss to Crawford?

    I never said he beat Postal due to size advantage. I said he beat him because he was a bum

    And no where did I say or imply that Crawford has no skill, when it is clear he does. I just don't think it is skill alone which has helped him get where he is today. More physical advantages.

    If GGG went down to lightweight and beat them all to a pulp, would you consider it a great achievement?

    Have you actually looked at Crawford's fight night weights in comparison to his opponents? There's no way it has been the 30+ pounds that GGG would have in your example.

    At lightweight, Crawford was big for the weight. But there's at 140, he was on even footing most of the time.

    He's not Wlad, for example, just mugging significantly smaller guys to death.

    It's common knowledge that on fight night, Crawlthug has come in rehyrdating himself up to 164lbs at the very least, against these lightweights who didn't stand a chance against him.

    So yes I have looked at the fight night weights and he abused the weight limit the same way Gatti did.

    Common knowledge not shown on the broadcast. I got it. 30 pounds overnight seems plausible.

    But at least the "thug" reference doesn't give away what you really don't like.
