Why is Terrence Crawford not fighting at 147?

So Crawford has moved up in weight and is now fighting in a unification bout with the #1 man in the division (SOMETHING GOLOVKIN CAN'T DO), and you're criticizing him for it? :huh

 

...Uh, because he can make 140...

...and...uh because his next opponent is three inches TALLER than he is...

 

I wonder why OP didn't ask: "Why doesn't Postol fight at 147?" :think

 

He can't fight himself. He is the #1 in the division. atsch

 

Then number 2! atsch

FTR: Golovkin is #1 middleweight to me as well.

 

I have no clue why he isn't at 147. He looks like a welterweight to me.

 

Because we don't have same day weigh ins and he can cut 15 pounds if he wants to, like every other elite boxer does. At least fighting Postol he's not going to have the usual height and reach advantages from fighting smaller guys.

 

What does Postol look like?

 

If he can make the weight and fights the best competition, then who cares?

 

I see hime moving up in the next year

 

Terrance Crawford comes to the ring at 155-156, thats a welter weight. He's not having any easy time getting to 140lbs.

This could be the fight where his big ass gets blasted from being drained.


The GGG comparisons are stupid - he's 5'10.5" and comes to the ring at 170lbs.....thats a small middleweight who has no business moving up (and won't!)

 

He was still at 135 just over a year ago. What's the rush for him to move up already?

the Postal fight is a damn good one. Who fvckin cares if it's not a GREAT win. You realize most resumes are full of top contenders and NOT great wins? atsch

 

Because he can still make 140, and that's how boxing works.

No need to **** on him when he's got a good fight coming up.

 

Damn. Boxing_master got blasted in his own thread!! I love it!:nod I feel like dancing!! :mj

 

Skinny super middleweight.
