Everybody needs to pump the brakes on this guy right now. Does he have the potential to be special? Damn right he does. Has he proven anything? Hell no! And I bet when he moves to 47 he'll fight 3 or 4 mediocres before he fights a top 47 pounder. Not even hating on this guy just getting tired of fans acting like Crawford is the second coming of Floyd even though he hasn't fought nobody. U all were probably the same ones screaming Berto when he was undefeated.
Gambia, Mandingo, Postol, Beltran. Hardly Dawson, Kovalev, Froch is it? Ward.
GGG beats Canelo.. Goes top 3 for sure. Jacobs, Lemiuex, Brook.
Lomachenko beats Rigo... Walters, GRJ, Martinez, Sosa. He's in the mix for top spot too defo.. There isn't a fighter in boxing barring Loma, Ward & maybe GGG who have that natural talent Rigo has even tho he's a bit fragile!
Funny how Horn isn't even in the mix in these discussions! He was a huge underdog & old or not he has a better win (Pac) than most on the list! No ones got a win like that on the list.. Pac was a big betting favourite!
LSC, Spence, Joshua, Usyk, Kovalev, Canelo, Thurman, Frampton, Rigo etc all have an argument to be on the list too..
Same reason y indongo was the ibf, wba world champion.
Cause he blasted Troyanovsy (who many people here were calling for Crawford to fight) in 40 seconds?
Here we go again. Why is it that when a fighter is starting to get the recognition they deserve people on this forum try to bring them down? It's like you don't want anyone to do well. Crawford is elite level and the way he blew indongo away adds to my argument. Just enjoy fighters like him while they're here.
If you think that crawford is not pound for pund material, then you should be watching any other sport, because you have no clue about what you are watching when you are watching a fight.
The undisputed champion hasn't proven anything...
Ok...
Right lol the haters on here always reaching for anything to descredit someone who poses a threat to their guy.
I'm just not a racist prick who sides with every black guy who can throw a nice jab
Go to sleep man, you've had too much to drink tonight, are you related to Indongo or Loma or something?
Man go sit your ass down somewhere, Walters has one good win against a blown up 122 pounder in Donaire and was coming off a 1 year layoff and to you and he's better than legit undefeated 140 pound champions coming off the best KO wins of their careers? that bias is real here.

Walters is better than everyone on Crawford's resume

Finally a real undisputed champion in boxing and the first thing some people do is to dicredit the man's opponents. Gamboa was undefeated, Postol was undefeated, Diaz was undefeated to me, Indongo was undefeated, beat upBurns in his hometown and the list goes on and on, these were all legit undfeated or almost undefeated champions in their prime that Crawford has made look easy, dropping and stopping most of them. Yes he still have more to show and to prove, and yes he must move up and yes he must leave Arum and join Haymon to fight the real best guys at 147, but goddamit as of right now he's the 2nd best P4P fighter in the world without a doubt right after Ward.
Lomachenko is also on his way but he's not top 5 P4P on my list, his unavenged loss to a B- level fighter and him only having 2 legit wins on his resume in the last 4 years is not enough for me to put rank him higher than Crawford, Ward, Thurman, GGG, Canelo and Mikey Garcia. Gonzalez doesn't belong on the top 10 list at all.

It's insane, absolutely insane. I blame racism, seriously.
I'm black and I agree. The boxing community is the only community where blacks are more racist

He's a gun, but defnitely ppl need to relax a bit.
Why do half the fans say GGG is a hype machine?...and he's KO'd about 20 guys in a row whilst defending his title.
It's insane, absolutely insane. I blame racism, seriously.
I feel just the same as OP. Don't get me wrong, Bud has shown great skill so far but his opponents have not been that great. 140 is a pretty weak division right now, it ain't stacked like it used to be a few years back.
I basically feel like Terence is being overrated right now. I'll give him all the props in the world if he manages to go undefeated in a run vs Keith Thurman Jr, Errol Spence Jr, Shawn Porter & Danny Garcia.
No more 140 please, there's absolutely NOTHING there.
I'm starting to think that black boxers are more privileged than white boxers

Crawford is good man. Really damn good. He's entertaining and beats guys up in there. But people have to ***** about something I suppose. He seems willing to fight more quality guys so he'll give us plenty of opportunity to find out how good he really is.
I'm sorry I don't buy into hype like all the GGG and Crawford fans. Brook Trump's every fighter on Crawford's resume. Yet Spence isn't P4P 1
