But I'm not complaining about his resume, it's not bad. I just don't think he's that good. The Ponce fight we could pass off by saying he was young, just experience that's all. But then 4'11 Gavin Rees was finding holes in his defense tagging him before the inevitable size difference finished him off. And then Paulie almost beat him. And of course Maidana. So it became clear it wasn't that he was just young or had a bad night, it's just that he's simply not that good. His footwork isn't good, his stance is ******ed which I'm sure causes his balances issues. He completely locks up when his opponents are throwing punches. He does have some good qualities though of course, he's no bum. But he's got a lot to work on if he's going to be elite and I just don't think he has the team, or the mentality to make the adjustments needed.

Originally posted by ***1048;ATAS View PostDemarco wasn't all that, just a decent win. 135 was and still is terrible and demarco was never that good in the first place. litzau had already been KTFO a couple times, just a bad chin on that guy. Broner really benefited by being huge for the division too.

The only person with the skill right now to take over boxing is Andre Ward. But he's slowly flushing his career down the toilet...

Crawford for me is the next big thing. GGG is our Tyson in this generation, and Kovalev is another fighter to keep an eye for. Both GGG and Kovalev are past their 30's so they have 3 to 4 good years left in em.
I would love to see Crawford fitted against the pretender once Crawford get used to fighting at 140. Dude just have too many attributes to be an elite and face of boxing.
