Nah, gamboa is one of the best offensive fighters in a long time. He'd damage anyone. True. Would like to see TC with a pure puncher that can fight tho not just a bum with padded record lol

Aside from the late TKO, this fight pretty much played out how I expected it to. Dierry Jean showed a ton of heart and did everything to win but the skill disparity proved too much to overcome. I'd like to see Crawford mix it up with a world class guy at welterweight before getting in there with Pacquiao. Beating Gamboa coming off 2 years of inactivity and Dierry Jean who's a natural lightweight isn't enough to convince me that he's ready for that big of a leap.

Dierry Jean is a mid-level contender whose only 2 losses are to world class titlists. He made several appearances on ShowTime and many picked him over Peterson. You can tell who follows boxing regularly. I agree this was a bad fight for TC but don't degrade Dierry Jean as some bum off the street.

Hahaha they are having a GGG, Choco, Bud five some.. It's cool though. This is why HBO boxing is best.. They build great guys Naoya Inoue would make them cry when he lands his hayemaker on Gonzalez

Uh.....what about the 14 fights he had above the lightweight limit or the 3 welterweight fights that he has had? Uh... what about them? What about the 4 fights he had a 135, which are his most recent. Listen, I don't care how many times he fought at 140... he isn't a JWW. But hey, who am I to say, right? Crawford's the truth, according to you guys. It's funny how quickly people buy into the hype.

WTF does Kahn have to do with this? You sound like bitter despiteful ex girlfriend or some **** bringing up old **** like that. Showing the double standards. Crawford bea a guy who had no business in there with him and much smaller, yet some are calling him the truth. Khan fights Algieri and gets ****ted on for fighting a JWW, when Chris was CLEARLY the bigger man and showed that he does belong in there. It's a double standard.

You should be banned for thinking Jean is worth a crap or even a good win don't be a larry Ranked 13th in the world at light welter with a record of 29-1 heading into the fight. Not exactly a tin can, he could have picked some guy coming off a 3 year layoff or something.

Lol, he beat up a guy who had been fighting at 135, and gets called a beast. Jean was so much smaller. You fools are eating this stuff up, lol. Meanwhile, Khan gets trashed for fighting Algieri, who was clearly bigger than Amir. Double standards... gotta love 'em. Uh.....what about the 14 fights he had above the lightweight limit or the 3 welterweight fights that he has had?

Nope I agree with you. He hasn't been tested. I said that earlier. Also GGG needs to be tested a bit more. These guys are big names but they haven't really beaten anyone. On the other hand, Cotto - Canelo, those guys are the real deal. They should be getting more praise and attention. And Roman Gonzalez, what else can I say other than #1 P4P. I'll give you all of my points if you change your name to Zygote.

You never knew who Gonzalez was until his last fight, did you? Be honest.... Who and what is a "healthy Manny" anyway?

LOL, not really. Kellerman's dad is a rich doctor who's authored numerous books. He grew up privileged... Street kid may not be th right term. City kid might be a better term for him. Kids who came from some privilege in NYC especially in the late 80s and 90s, still ran the same streets as the street kids.

You should be banned for spreading lies. Jean has fought at the LW limit in 3 of his 31 pro fights. Shame on you! You should be banned for thinking Jean is worth a crap or even a good win don't be a larry

Meanwhile, Khan gets trashed for fighting Algieri, who was clearly bigger than Amir. Double standards... gotta love 'em. The vast majority of Jeans fight were at JWW. Including Lamont Peterson. He also came in tonight weighing only a pound less then Crawford on the unofficial fight night scale.

He has flaws like every other fighter, but "so many" is a stretch Ok maybe it is but after seeing Jean land some pretty damn good shots while he was very hurt and totally out of the fight, I have trouble believing that Crawford will be able to withstand the onslaught of a healthy and probably very pissed off and determined Manny. So I don't see how Crawford will be #1 P4P.
