Why are top p4p boxers so gentle towards Crawford?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Many of them call him being N.1.

It is just funny. Crawford barely even fights.

He hardly beat Madrimov and that was his only win at 154.

Inoue and Usyk are actually cleaning out their neighbourhood. Bivol and Beterbiev will fight each other three times.

Crawford is what, semi retired man who got undeserved Canelo lottery fight.

Crawfod was maybe the best boxer in the world in one moment, but that moment is not now, for sure.

[famicommander]

His resume is incredible and anyone pretending otherwise is kidding themselves. If you want to say Usyk's is better, fine. If you want to say Inoue's is better, fine.

But anyone else? Nope.

Here are the running resumes for Crawford, Inoue, Usyk, and Bam (not in order of ranking but in the order that I began keeping track). TBRB rankings used, secondary and interim belts ignored.

[BirdSong]

u cant fight so little as him and expect to be called p4p no1 i would say, hes just holding out for the canelo cash is all which is fair enough but hes semi retired basically i think, i think i would like to see him beat canelo simply because canelo was disgraceful in not fighting bena, both canelo and bud could well be retired soon

No confirmation yet, your boy is dragging his feet.

[Grandma Lover]

Cause of racism and scared of getting cancelled

[El_Mero]

Game recognize game. Non boxers opinions really don't count in the end.

[The D3vil]

Because Usyk, Bivol, & Beterbiev,(who all have Bud #1) all know what real fighting is unlike keyboard warriors like yourself.
