    Mosley is too fast and too strong. He’d have some issues with Crawford’s movement and counter punching but Crawford is hittable enough for Mosley to get him outta there at some point.

    Shane ain’t outboxing shit. It’s possible that Shane can stop Crawford late after trailing on points but Shane cannot box with Crawford, not at all.

    Couple things going against Bud in this matchup:

    1. I dunno if he has enough pop to hurt a prime Mosley. Shane absolutely had the pop to hurt Crawford. I mean, even a shot Mosley proved he could badly hurt Floyd with one punch. And Crawford doesn't have Floyd's chin, nor Oscar's.

    2. Mosley's reach and handspeed: How would Bud deal with a man with a faster hands than himself, and longer arms than him? Tagging sloths like Horn and Benavidez at will is one thing.

    3. His mentality. Crawford simply isn't a guy who's gonna play it safe all night. It's in his DNA to wanna trade when he's been tagged, and against prime Mosley that's gonna be a mistake.

    Sad thing is, we really don't know how good or bad Crawford's chin is.

    Mosley would maul his ass. The overhand right would land big a lot and Mosley would get the better of most exchanges.

    Its funny that Crawford is getting this reputation as an aggressive fighter. Guy put on his running shoes everytime he fought someone halfway decent, bar midget ass gamboa

    It's because he's being compared to pbf. Compared to pbf, crawford is downright reckless.
