Crawford need to do 1 more fight at 140 and against either Loma or Gervonta.

 

[Mr.Guy]

It's dope that Crawford can fight righty and southpaw.

 

[threeoneoh]

Crawford has it so easy

Everyone one wants him to fight 130lb dudes lmfao

 

[Kaleo15]

crawford really is the truth and should be #1 p4p in the world and not because hes undisputed but hes so dominant in his fights... i love his style he might be my favorite boxer since floyd retired... and yes i liked budd even before he was undisputed... i dont see anyone beating him anytime soon in this weight class or lower

Nobody beating him 140 or lighter....

147? I think he'll lose a couple fights that weight class.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Sheesh!

 

[Mr.Guy]

Bud should beat up on Broner for the culture.

That bum Broner doesn't deserve a title shot even if he has no chance of winning

 

[mr highness]

I can see that same body shot landing on McGreggor for a Floyd TKO/KO win.

Yup McGregor isn't used to boxing body shots.

I think Spence would beat him but by the time it's economically convent for those two to meet Spence might not be able to make 147 anymore.

He beats everyone else tho IMO.

 

[Mr.Guy]

147 is def an interesting division.

 

[Mr.Guy]

Could Lomachenko move up to 140?

 

[AEA18]

Atlas still got Loma #1 P4P on his list

Spence is probably too big and strong for Crawford, but I doubt Spence's boxing IQ is on the level of Crawford. Crawford needs to grow into the weight division in order to take on the top dogs.

Can't see Crawford being in the top 3

It's not Crawford's fault but the guys he's beaten aren't great
None have a been the man in their division or have a long history as a reigning champ

Indongo fights like an waving inflatable arm tube man and him having 2 belts is indicative of how weak 140 is

 

[snkrfollower]

Hooooo-weee, what a knockout! That body work was textbook! I just said to my girl that I think I've seen less than 10 body KOs in the 30 years or so I've been watching the sport, and that had to have been in the top-3. Wow... what a shot.

Indongo was out there punching like McGRegor's warmup.

You mean fight wise?

Because doesn't he dehydrate up to like 160?

Physically he should be fine.

That is a really accurate description of his 'style' lol

Spoiler

 

[Bobby Layne]

Could Lomachenko move up to 140?

Yea but there are still plenty of guys in and around 130 for him to fight. No reason to jump two weight classes.

I mean Crawford looks kind of lanky. Spence and Thurman are tanks. It would be similar to how Ward too a few fights against lesser opposition before fighting Kovalev. It did not look like he filled out all the way until the second Kovalev fight.

 

[Bobby Layne]

What sucks about thinking about a Spence-Bud fight is knowing we probably won't be able to see it for like 5 years

 

[you go boy]

skills wise budd can compete with anyone in the welterweight division... but i agree he needs a couple fights in that weight class under his belt and needs to get his weight up also to take over.... it can happen but it will take time... i dont see anyone beating spence in that division anytime soon even if thurman fights him and spence can even beat triple G if he moved up

 

[Mr.Guy]

Spence can beat GGG?
