Comments Thread For: Crawford: Right Now, Canelo Is Number One P4P; He's Captured All The Titles In His Division

[Bob Haymon]

Actually, every expert on the planet have Crawford and Canelo either #1 or #2 and have no problem which is #1

That's not true at all. Anybody that has Crawford #1 at this point would be an outlier. Even Crawford himself doesn't think he's #1.

Right?

I mean, this is huge. NSB doesn't understand how huge this is.

This guy is already mentally rattled. He has to be. HE HAS TO BE.

There's just no damn way he would openly acknowledge this unless he was shook as hell.



Last month, Crawford:

I think Porter can pull this off.(if he does he deserves to be top 5 p4p based on resume & current level.)

Bud is the more talented, however Canelo has skills too but what completely separates Canelo from the rest as P4P King is overall Resume and Accomplishments. When it comes to that he is leaving every in his dust because nobody else is doing that. Tank Davis trying to go up and down like Canelo but he not taking risk and fighting the best

Canelo is no different than Tank, he's not taking risk and fighting the best. David would without question be favored over every 168lb fighter Canelo faced, The best fighter at 168 is without question is David Benavidez, that's just a fact. At 175, Canelo didn't choose Bivol, Beterbiev or even Joe Smith he fought a burned out Sergey Kovalev. Now he's fighting Makabu instead of Mairis Bredis because he's a very beatable belt holder, nothing more, nothing less. Canelo fights the weakest opponents in multiple divisions because he brings the money.

I'm calling it now: this fight will come down to the ref and how the ref behaves. It's a novice ref, and that makes me nervous. If we start seeing dude warn about feet again like with the Shakur fight or constantly breaking up/warning Porter, I'll know what the deal is.

[Oldskoolg]

Yup that racist clown would have Kyron Davis p4p #1 before Canelo.

“Racist”? What makes Andrew ward, a man who is half white and half black, “racist?” What race does he hate?

Careful bud the alphabet people might disown you like poor Jermell.

If you are talking about the LDBC, they are the biggest bashers of Crawford already.

[GucciGod]

Everyone agrees that Canelo did in fact wait for Golovkin to age out. You have to admit that, that's just a fact. And he did get caught taking a banded substance that would help him shrink down to middle weight, also a matter of record. I'm sure you can admit that also.

Bro wtf are you talking about? I’m talking about David benavidez and Canelo.

forget golovkin and substances, it has no bearing in what I said. Gtfo with ya balohny. I’ll listen to professional prizefighters before I let you influence my opinion of boxing or fighters.

yeah that argument can be made for sure, I actually was thinking that when I posted it so Tank is basically using Canelo Blueprint. They are moving up and picking the Right and the Weakest Link Champions to take Titles them for sure. So no argument here when it comes to that...BUT my point is, what separates Canelo from the rest is that he does have the Best Resume in the Sport among Active Fighters (with Pacquiao Recently officially retiring)

More fighters could and probably should do what Canelo is doing though even if it means picking the weakest champions and collecting Belts

If Usyk stayed at Cruiserweight and kept all those Belts, of course Canelo would not have moved up and fought him for all those Belts

The opponents at the LHW and CW are clearly targeted, but then he is dipping his toe in the waters with these weights, is he not?

The Benavidez thing is not so clear cut. Canelo made it plain he was targeting undisputed at SMW. If Benavidez held a belt when Canelo was hoovering them up, he would have got a fight, don't you think? It is not Canelo's fault that Benavidez was stripped for not having the discipline to make weight to defend his belt.
