I appreciate Crawford more and more as he fights, I just want an inside game to seal it for me, I need to see one.
Why? He's a long armed fighter. It's like saying a champion marathon runner isn't complete until he proves himself in a sprint.
Naw It was a UD. Clear victory. And who has crawford beaten that's close to the level of jacobs? Gamboa who just got koed by a journeyman with multiple losses. Postol? LMAO.
Undefeated Postol. Undefeated Gamboa. Yeah, Gamboa lost to a bum recently but not at the time. We can't retroactively take a good win from him. He also did just clown an Olympic gold medalist too...
I don't know why a case couldn't be made to say he isn't. If he gets Indongo and Pac this year then maybe people will finally realize he's top five easily.
definitely over GGG no doubt about it esp with that SD victory over (glass jawed) jacobs . i'm on the fence on the ward kova tho..

No...he's definitely strong mentally and well rounded but he's not gonna look spectacular against truly gifted athletes and or skilled fighters...he's never gonna flat out outclass any prime elite fighters, maybe if there were any at 140, because he's pretty big for that weightclass, but at 147 he's gonna go tit for tat.....but hey if he were to beat all of them even by a little, resume wise you probably couldn't argue against top 3 even considering what the rest do.
You rank him higher than Ward, Kovalev, and GGG?
Skill wise Loma's on a different level. It's him and Crawford as P4P #1 & #2. The rest of the pack are a good bit behind in terms of how developed their games are, overall technical prowess and the quality of their technique, footwork & fundamental soundness. They look better each fight out while the rest are on the decline. They have more upside than the rest too and are still improving which is scary.
