    Racism against Crawford?

    Crawford demolishes Spence coming off wins over Ugas/Danny = meh, muh car accident doe

    Usyk edges cokehead Fury coming off loss to MMA fighter Ngannou = GOAT status, he’s the GOD of boxing, etc…

    Inoue? Dude went life and death with 40yr old ghost of Donaire, imagine if that happened to Crawford.

    Is it because Crawford is black? Is it racism?

    Recency bias, If Crawford beats Madrimov he’s P4P #1 again.

      This is honestly it I think. People get excited by the most recent performances that they watch and immediately like to deem the fighter the next best thing. After watching Usyk beat Fury, it was an exciting event and win. Granted not easy at all for him. Crawford whooped Errol much easier and made it look like a performance the #1 fighter on the planet would put out. At that time, I was saying Crawford was the best thing I'd seen in awhile, but that performance is old by boxing standards and quite a lot has happened since. I still think he's awesome and want him to go on to show it against Madrimov.

      Unfortunately though, most people probably won't take much from it since they don't know who Madrimov is.

          You folks just can't get this racism thing off your minds, can you?
          So you pick and choose to justify your claim. Crawford went life and death with little Gamboa, got dropped by Kavaliauskas, according to many, got competitive with one-legged Bena Jr. So anyone can pretty much pick whatever anyone want to choose. Usyk and Inoue have their fair share of haters, too. And both fighters have expressed recognition to Crawford. Why do you think this way bro?

                You have to also consider that Crawford hasn't fought in over a year, during the same span which both Inoue and Usyk fought twice and both going undisputed in 2nd division. If Inoue hadn't fought since his pure ownage of Fulton (which happened within a week of Crawford-Spence, in case people forgot) and still hasn't fought yet, doubt he would've been in the top two since then.

                At least for Ring, the fact that Spence was protected on P4P until last week after having zero wins in two years coming off a brutal KO loss proves that Ring certainly doesn't have any anti-black agendas. Not to mention the removal of Spence simply lead to Haney getting reinstated, plus I-don't-fight-other-beltholders-in-my-division Tank is still on it.

                Just wait until this weekend after the Madrimov fight. As long as he doesn't royally struggle or put up a totally dull match (which I doubt will happen given the two fighting), he will go up again.

                  Most of his biggest critics are blacks. The Spence fans, the PBC fans who still insist that he should fight Ennis to prove himself.

                    1)Inoue no1.fights champs in 1st fights, no acclimatising
                    2)Usyk needed 5 fights in the division before taking on the best
                    3) bud needed 5 years in division to best spence
