Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: '2023 Fighter of the Year Is Me'

[Knuckle sandwich]

Deep down Crawford knows Inoue is fighter of the year plus P4P 1

I take it your mum married a black man and you’re upset.

your intuition is astounding

As great as you are Crawford; Inuoe is legendary status talent.

There should be a rule that a fighter who only fought once over the course of the year cannot win FOTY.

To me, it's disrespectful to not recognize the sacrifice Inoue made to get it in this year (diet/camp/in-ring), whilst making history. It's gotta be him.

Fulton is no where near Spence’s level though.

No one has a win as impressive as Crawford this year.

Based off of what? Spence was severely over rated.

How was Spence severly overrated? He beat numerous credible welterweights.

How would you explain Spences last performance then?

It's probably the best win of 2023 but the dude still needed a few more fights.

Had Crawford beat Spence and Boots back to back, he'd be foty.

What do you mean explain? He lost to a better fighter. One performance doesn't dictate a fighters career nor indicate if he's overrated.

Before facing Crawford, Spence had looked dominant against credible opposition; it isn't as if Crawford was his first step-up in competition.

Fans like to nit pic certain situations to make their point look good but you have to look at the body of work overall.

Yep Bud is my fighter of the year. Inoue was fantastic, wining divisional crowns in 2 weight classes. But Buds total domination of a lb for lb top 5 fighter was the performance of the year and in my eyes, makes him fighter of the year.

Interesting.

When Crawford fought Jeff ‘The Hornet’ Horn, he (Horn) was listed as #5 P4P. NSB discredited him - meaning Crawford at that time DIDN’T beat a top fighter, yet he was regarded as having done so.

So what’s changed?

I’ll answer that.

Spence, as good as he is, was NEVER a P4P level and damn sure not Top 5 even if.

Nobody would ever say that Spence beats Usyk, all weights equal. Come on.
