Anyway, we've been down this road a million times before and like the old saying goes 'there's no point arguing with an IDIOT' which is EXACTLY what you are
    Oh, it's a handful now? I thought it was 99.9%? Where did you get that statistic from?

    Just so you're aware buddy there are plenty of fighters with 75% KO Ratio's and sometimes higher that also aren't punchers. A KO% doesn't automatically equate to someone being a big puncher and Keith Thurman is living proof of that.​

Just because Ring decided to elevate Crawford in the rankings due to being undisputed Light Welterweight champion and having beaten the 3 blind mice DOESN'T make him a 'better Welterweight' at the time imbecile.
    Er yes I know, you presented a wall of text to tell us why you don't think he should have been ranked #3. None of which changes that he was #3 I.e NOT THE BEST.

    Keith Thurman hadn't beaten a ranked fighter in 28 months at that point He was only #3 because he sc****d by an unranked Joseito Lopez who had him out on his feet.

    He wasn't the best WW in the world, it's as simple as that and that is a literal objective fact. You can kick, scream, cry all you want about it but it won't change it.

      Thurman
      Spence
      Crawford

      Outside of your universe this was the batting order

        It's quite literally the other way around

        The reality is the ranking/batting order at the time was;

        1. Spence
        2. Crawford
        3. Thurman

        In your fantasy universe, Thurman is #1. But like I said facts don't care about your feelings.

        Thurman hadn't beaten a ranked fighter in 28 months at that point and struggled to beat an unranked fighter, in the one fight he had. In all honesty he was lucky to be as high as #3. But I guess his past merit got him that spot.

        What he absolutely was not though, was the best WW in the world. That's a fact. Except for in your tiny mind.

          If you believe Mario Barrios is best ww in the world and you have backup good for you.

          More than one person here backed up why Thurman was the best ww in the world over Crawford.

              So.

              Your lover Floyd took off for 2 years and claimed he was #1 p4p because nobody beat him. His words.

              Returned to box a lightweight

              Nobody stopped him and quoted ring or boxrec did they

              So under those au****es, Thurman had the same #1 claim.

                Thurman was a puncher that Floyd ducked

                  Ok but Floyd wasn't P4P #1 after having two years off, was he? Objectively no he wasn't.

                  Just like objectively Thurman wasn't the best WW in 2019.

                  So you've just proved my point idiot

                    :
                    He said he was so that's all he needed to do for you Floyd boys to parrot what he said. Said it in the Brian Kenny interview

                    You Big Dunn and every other Floyd boy would be saying the same thing

                      You seem to be getting real bent out of shape over Thurman. He was top 3 ww by your sources so what of it if somebody had him at the top.

                      Thurman
                      Spence
                      Crawford
