    Terence “TBE” Crawford is proven and a future first ballot HOF, no doubt about it. Boots isn’t defensively responsible enough to beat Crawford. I think the only way Crawford will be challenged is at 154 or 160, not because of the skillset in those two weight classes but the size difference will pay dividends.

      Spence is a good win, Fulton is a great win
      I'm not really sure I agree with this, for starters they've gone up in weight a similar amount (Inoue 14lbs vs Crawford 12lbs) so splitting hairs with that comment.

      Spence was a pound for pound level fighter he went through, Brook, Peterson, Porter, Garcia, Ugas undefeated. Fulton was a good world champion, nothing more or less.

      There have been some elite super bantams in the past, I don't think Fulton falls into that category.

        It’s absurd.
        I can see Crawford's talent. It's hard not to. His resume of accomplishments is great, but who has he beaten? Really?

        Think of his top 3 opponents and compare them to other great fighters of the last 15 years. It's lackluster. There's no getting around it.

          I'm not sure you quite get it. RJJ beating john Ruiz is a great win, even though Andy Ruiz not even as good as Fulton is, because it was RJJ 5th weight class, and essentially his 1st fight in division

            RJJ never fought Andy Ruiz

                      "The dude cleans out 140. “All those guys were nobodies”.

                      Wins a title at 147. “He still ain’t fighting nobody”.

                      Stops Shawn Porter. “Shawn was finished, he has one hip”.

                      Destroys Errol Spence and becomes Undisputed. “Spence was shot, brain damaged, a walking corpse”.

                      I agree with all of it. Bud has yet to defeat a prime, elite fighter. all of his opponents have either been B+ fighters or past their prime.
