    154. Not saying he couldn't have wins at 160, but 154 is where he can still reign supreme.

    He will wipe out 154 lbs, 160, a weight class he has no business at, would be where someone could possibly beat him.

    Crawford vs Zhanibek would be an amazing fight and even odds IMO.

    He beats everyone at 154. 160 isn't exactly deep nobody there as good as Canelo, GGG or even Jacobs anymore, so I wouldn't even rule out him having success at 160 to a certain degree. It will depend on if his power goes up with him.

    Definitely 154, maybe even 160.

    I'd expect him to beat Jermell and if he can beat Jermell why not Jermall too. I think each time Crawford has moved up so far he has got stronger.

    He’d be the best at 154 immediately, and could take a paper belt at 160

    He is very small. He just doesn't have the frame. Look at him side by side with with Spence. 154 I can see him competing in but 160 maybe pushing it.

    I think he could win a belt or two at the wasteland that is middleweight.

    Some thought for food. Even when he was down at 140 he weighed 13lbs less than GGG's average fight night weight and he has a 4'' longer reach than GGG too. By now that would be at worst 8lbs. Same goes for Spence. But ya'll poop on Loma when he's routinely facing opponents who have 10-15lbs on him (20 in Haney's case) and just under six inches in reach on him and a leprechaun division fighter giving away that much weight is different to man-sized division fighters doing so.

    Ya'll make me so sick sometimes and that's some real dubbly bubbly real talk. Get the hell away from me!
