Crawfish is just an opportunist cherry picker

[_Rexy_]

He's 24 and just starting his career.
His only notable wins are Kambosos who frankly isn't great and Loma, Zaur & Diaz are 'solid' wins. About it.
Linares was shot to bits, Gamboa even more so.

Prograis will be a very good win

IF he beats Prograis. He didn't beat Loma IMO.

To be perfectly honest with you I got so bored of waiting around for it that I stopped caring. Regardless whose fault it took way too long for my liking.

I said the same thing when the fight was announced. I didn't GAF for about the last year, so we agree on that.


But either way, it was Spence with years of "Wrong side of the street" bull****.

Well yeah IF though I think he will but either way he will get credit from me for taking a risk and fighting a decent fighter.
I had it 7-5 Haney but no issue with a draw or 7-5 the other way, it was that kind of fight.

Yeah, I think i had it 7-5 Loma. Not a robbery either direction, but I don't like how Haney straight out refused the rematch.


As much as guys hate on Floyd, if there was a close fight, he made sure there was a rematch.

Kambosos back-to-back, Loma, moving up to fight Prograis next, what is there to fault? Probably the best run of opponents in boxing currently

The thing is he might only have 2 names or whatever atm but I don't sit here and pretend guys like Linares, Gamboa wasn't shot when he fought them, or name guys like Diaz but Crawford fans will act like much lesser opponents on his resume are something to write home about.

If you don't even know the difference between winning a world title belt and winning the lineal championship of the world you're even more casual than the topic creator here.

Broner is a 4 division titlist but he never won a lineal title.

Crawford's championships are recognized as lineal, Ring Magazine, and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board world championships. He was the consensus champion of the world in three weight divisions. The belts are just trinkets, Crawford became THE MAN in 3 divisions.

Read the post, I made reference that I understood the difference. I was using Broner as an example. I think Dan makes a good point, its not a popular point, but when you look at who Crawford actually beat, its a bit underwhelming. As a matter of fact, what turned it all around for a lot of people was when he beat Spence. And given Spence's situation we have to see how Spence operates at this point.

I am not all in on Dan's take, but It is something to consider that balances the great things about Crawford that I see him do. I would love to see Crawford give Boots a bite at the apple. Lewis used to give the young lions a chance... If he handles boots easily, then I would certainly give him props because Boots has some obvious skills.

Crawford is 14-0 with 11 KOs against fighters ranked in the top 10 by the TBRB and/or The Ring. 8-0 vs the top 5, 6-0 vs the top 3.

I don't know that is something I often ask myself tbh
I guess I just like to see the best fight the best
Usyk, Bivol, Haney, Boots, Blair Cobbs, Inoue, Benavidez has grown on me, Estrada, Chocolatito, Bam, Regis, Loma, Tank but will he ever fight anyone with a pulse?
Shakur, Morrell I like a lot of fighters

You said "Blair Cobbs" lol stop it

[j0zef]

This is some revisionist sht right here. Crawford has demolished everyone put in front of him enroute to unifying and cleaning out 2 divisions in a row. If you don't give the man his due, you're just a hater.

[JakeTheBoxer]

And when he knocks Boots out, you will say the same.

So ho should he fight?
