A switch-hitter, Crawford is known as the second coming of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He’s shifty, crafty and cunning. Benavidez’ father Jose, Sr. taught him how to box at six. With sons Jose, Jr. and David, he thought of boxing as their way out. Jose, Sr. apprenticed with Freddie Roach for four years and brought his sons to train at the Wild Card Gym. Another intriguing point in this fight is Crawford and Benavidez are in Pacquiao’s weight class so it’s doubly interesting to imagine how either would match up against the WBA 147-pound champion.
