People just throw subjective terms like "elite" and "prime" around, thinking they're making a solid argument.
The Crawford excuses are hilarious man.

Let's go over Crawford's last 10 wins.
1. Errol Spence: weight drained, after 2 car accidents, often spotted drunk.
2. David Avanesyan: 3L who was picked as a light touch on a strange show where Bud was allowed to KO the guy with torn gloves.
3. Porter: a solid win. However, he took a beating from Spence before that and was ready to retire.
4. Kell Brook: a guy with damaged face from two bad beatings who couldn't take a punch by that time.
5. Egidijus Kavaliauskas: an unknown guy who got KOd.
6. Amir Khan: a chinny fighter who quit on a leg shot near the end of his career.
7. Jose Benavidez Jr: a guy with one leg (literally).
8. Jeff Horn: he only got this fight because he beat Pac on a hometown gift.
9. Julius Indongo: an unknown light puncher who somehow destroyed a (old, hometown) champion he was supposed to lose to in Moscow.
10. Felix Diaz: a good win.
So, 2 good wins in last 10 fights.
Am I being objective?
It's not like Bud didn't do what he did. It's just the way he did it was underwhelming. He always seemed to be lucky with opponents when it came to title fights.Comment

Ever since watching mayweather masterfully pick apart opponents I've seen countless haters on forums who can't seem to give props and always find a way to disparage or lessen the victory. Since mayweather stopped they changed up that focus to the next undefeated guy who is elite level. I wonder if racism is behind it somewhat it seems that way to me.Comment

Inoue beating Fulton isn't the greatest win of all time, it might be one the greatest performances though. But it's not racist to say it's better than buds win over spence, and neither is it racist to think bivols win over nelo is better too.
Lots don't like Asians be successful too. I don't usually engage in race topics.Comment

A fighters “prime” is like the smallest window possible too.
If they’re 25 they’re “green” if they’re 32 they’re “old”.
I consider Leonard beating Hearns the single greatest win in boxing history, imagine how that would be received now.
“22 year old Hearns was green”, “He was weight drained” “He was a hype job anyway” “Who has he beaten? Cuevas was a journeyman.”Comment
