I agree with OP somewhat. The only thing that concerns me with Crawford is the fact that at times he allows himself to take a shot or two in a fight. Which could be a problem when he faces punchers at 140 (like garcia for example). BUT if he can take a shot at 140 the way he has been doing I dont see anyone being able to beat him, I would say if he cant beat garcia and AB he at least gives them problems . Guys like Herrera or Matthysse wont give him any problems, if garcia can outbox Matthysse and land significant enough shots to win, so can Crawford. Stylistically Crawford is a problem because he is a good boxer, with a competent defense but the best thing abut him is he is THE BEST switch hitter of this generation(besides maybe andre ward or direll). Most guys who switch between ortho and southpaw are lacking in one stance or the other, but Crawford is just as good when he is ortho as when he is south paw, which gives guys hell. If you ever been in the ring with a southpaw its hard enough to deal with the angle they attack from, but then to have to deal with him constantly switching as he attacks is a headache lol.
TLDR : If his chin holds up, I dont see him losing to anyone, at the very least he is competitive at 140 against the best. except for maybe paq man.

TC is nice but nikkas gotta understand just how much of an advantage in weight this dude had over okay fighters. Yeah he look good against nikkas like Burns and Beltran. I wanna see if he can compete with guys who have at least SOME natural talent. When he fights someone significant then I'll say he is the king at 140.

Plus aint PAC going to 140 :ohhh:

TC would get his ass handed to him if he tries to fight PAC right now. IF I was him I would fight Jesse right away since Vargas hit like a bytch anyway :usure:. Then he should get a little settled in and go after PAC. But TC got all the tools, if he fully realizes his potential he can give ANYONE problems:jawalrus: or if he does not reach his full potential he can be the next Zab JUDAH :mjcry:

That concerns me too. When he gets hit he wants to retaliate immediately; shyt makes him stronger, for some reason.

Alright. We gotta see just how good he is fighting nikkas that aint bums or way smaller than him.

Also, PAC does not get the credit he deserves as far as boxing skill goes. You talk TC having good angles. shyt PAC is some of the best in and out movement I have ever seen.
