The truth is, I think Crawford would defeat our number three fighter should they meet in the ring, and they certainly should.
The ambidextrous fighter is brilliant from both the southpaw and orthodox stance, and he seems to have brought his power with him from the Lightweight division.
He smashed the hell out of Thomas Dulorme this past April, and he’d make a fantastic fight with Lucas Matthysse if they can make it happen. But Crawford just has the look of a Welterweight. He seems like he’d be a wrecking ball at 147, and there are a ton of fascinating options for him there.
He’s quickly shooting up the ranks, and it should surprise no one if he’s sitting in the top spot next year at this time…
