Comments Thread For: Hamzah Sheeraz withdrawn from WBO purse bid and now could be set for Carlos Adames

Skill wise Janibek is right with Crawford and may very well end up better. Unbelievable amateur career and everybody and anybody are staying clear of this killer from anywhere near his weight class.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! You just gave me my laugh for the day. Crawford ventured up to other weight classes to build his legacy. Alimkanuly aka Mr. Kazakh Style is unwilling to do the same and is so petrified of not being able to weight bully, he's willing to risk his health to continue hiding at 160.

You guys are way on the moon over Alimkanuly. Comparing him to Crawford is like comparing Lil Wayne to Stevie Wonder. Alimkanuly is a good fighter, but what elite names does he have on his resume to make him so feared? He's better than Adames, but not by a whole lot.

I meant it to compare Sheeraz to Boots more than Janibek to Crawford. They both are common in that they had the hype but chose to duck the top guy they were mandatory for to fight a lesser target for their first world title.

The difference between Crawford and Janibek isn't as important, but simply the fact that Crawford was a harder opponent than Spence and Janibek is a harder opponent than Adames, so given the situation where a youngster had a choice between which guy to chase, they both opted for the easier path.

I'd say Crawford is alot more dynamic as a fighter than Janibek is. But Janibek is a top fighter and right now is the number 1 at 160 but tbh the talent pool at 160 right now isn't what it was from a few years back, so Janibek hasn't got that name yet on his record to move him to pound for pound level status like a Crawford because of the division he is in
