Just read a thread of several pages of ppl thinking hes going to 168 based on this quote:

I can't believe you Bud beliebers don't get it,hes taking a shot at Canelo by basically saying"im mad that hes universally recognized #1 p4p despite my hating campaign,my own network downgraded me" or in other words "why should I fight elite wws when y'all consider Canelo #1 for moving up & cleaning out 168"(implying Canelos getting far more credit than he deserves)
Crawford isn't a great fighter, his fights and resume is proof of that.
I think he's a great fighter...thinking and knowing are two different things though.
You have to fight good fighters and dominate them to be a great "eye test" fighter imo and Crawford has never done that. Crawford doesn't pass the great "eye test" even against all of his cherry picks. I have seen better "eye test" fighters get exposed when they stepped up in competition.
Inactive and blown up Gamboa put him on queer street. Gun shot victim Jose Bumavidez took rounds off Crawford until his bum leg gave out. Washed up glass jaw Amir Khan needed low blowed to stop him. Eurobum Mean Machine dropped him. Washed up weight drained quitter Brook damn near closed his eye before he quit in just a few rounds. "Eye test" doe :rofl:. Some people need to see an eye doctor for sure :dunno:
Floyd has him #1 P4P. Andre Ward the same. His resume is weak but the ability is there.
Only reason I suspect he was taking a shot at Canelo was because he was saying that Canelos ducking smoke at 160 by going to 168,& hes been really salty ever since Canelo usurped him as #1 p4p.
Hmmm. Yeah you may be right.
My guess is he's just saying (as a joke) that he'd go up to 168 because that's where the biggest payday is.

I didnt say he was. I said, “great fighters think they can beat anyone”. Proof is in the result. I wouldnt totally discount that he is good.
