ESPN said “the best fighter in the world is still looking for that mark key opponent.” Even my girlfriend who doesn’t really watch boxing looked at me and asked how the best fighter in the world is still looking for a good opponent? Crawford is not #1 pound for pound, and I don’t see a case for him to be above Canelo. You can even argue that Teofimo could even go above Crawford on the list at this point.

ROFL and who has Canelo beaten to be considered above Crawford?
Canelo best win is what exactly? Amir Khan? Rocky Fielding? Liam Smith? Not even sure if he was doing PED testing.
At least Crawford has never lost, barely loses rounds and zero question in doubt for any of his wins, domination.
Arien is all hype. Good skills until you push him to fight and he doesn't throw enough punches. I am shock how many opportunities he continues to get.
Being good on the mic and having charisma is so underrated.
It's a skill few have and even fewer ever learn.
Crawford at 147 is likely GGG at 160. he will start fighting top guys too late. I can see him losing to Spence and having a very hard time with Porter. he will probably retire with some losses at top level.
Shame on you for comparing a guy who started his career two divisions south of the current division he is fighting at to a guy who has spent most of his career at one division.
The fact that Crawford campaigned at three different divisions proves that it's the guys who are refusing to fight him and not the other way around.
Case in point: Adrien "the problem"..

Absolutely. Porter has fought the top of the division and had close decisions and a couple of wins that were also close.
If a fighter don't come prepared to fight Postol or Porter they will loose. Also those two guys have such a different style from each other.

The same argument can be said about Shawn Porter.

Postol is a solid fighter. Only top fighters are going to beat him. But he is a B+ fighter that doesn't get over the hump.
I already mentioned that besides the Lucas fight.

Special Effects? Who gives a **** about special effects? He's a top 140 pounder and myself (and a lot of guys in the fight chat) scored it for Postol, or a draw.
You have your opinion and I have mine. Postol is solid and only top fighters beat him.
What do you mean by no special effects?
That's that Mayweather-talk all his boys adopted once they heard him use it.
Postol made a Matthysse quit.

It is hard to look good against Postol. The fight was scored appropriately. Close win for Ramirez.
I like Postol but he brings no special effects.

He beat Horn the guy that whipped GrandPac.
"Whipped" GrandPac? I'm sure you really don't believe that. Pacquiao clearly beat Horn in that fight and was outwrestled by a dirt horn and outright robbed by the 3 judges.
their commentators, especially Tessitore, is terrible to listen to, all they do is over hype Crawford, Lomachenko and Fury during their broadcast. It's like they are so insecure that know that they don't actually have the best pool of talent, that they have to scream "P4P #1" "Lineal Champion" every few minutes.

People just conveniently forget Postol Win like he didn’t just arguably beat Ramirez a couple months back...

ESPN and TR are in business. They hyped him try-out the whole card like the p4p best boxer in the world.
He has not fought not even one top guy. His best win at WW is Horn, his next best win is Gamboa at 135.
No matter how good you look you get measure by your opponents. This is not a horse and pony show
