This kind of shocked me, as far as I'm aware, the Mayweather camp has never shown any sort of respect to Bud Crawford, unless I'm forgetting a time that it's happened, or a Top Rank fighter in general
Currently, Alvarez has settled in nicely at 168 pounds, defeating most of the titleholders in the division. Still, despite his impressive resume, CEO of Mayweather Promotions in Leonard Ellerbe, doesn’t have the Mexican star at the top of his own personal pound for pound list.
“Canelo is a very good fighter,” said Ellerbe to a group of reporters. “I think he’s a tremendous fighter, but I still personally say Terence Crawford.”
Can't post links to the article, just Google Boxing Insider Ellerbe Crawford
bud looks more cerebral....but hes breaking down sht guys or guys that have already been broken down......its all good though i aint never really been mad at bud...hes good....i hope these pleasantries being shared between the pbc/arum mean we are getting closer....
I think Crawford was #1 but his lack of quality opposition, while Canelo and Inoue have beaten quality opponents, had IMO moved him out of the top position.
His resume not good enough to be no1. But as soon as bud beats someone great convincingly I'll put him no1 instantly, on the basis of having just 1 special win. If it leaves me thinking if he was nel o size he'd beat nelo id have no issue having bud no1.
