Terence Crawford is one of the greatest of all time.

TBud 9-3 Saul the best win of any active boxer today

It's a singular accomplishment

Why do fight fans hate the word "resume" so much

record is more important

resume doesn’t take into account how the fight went and the condition of the opponent at the time

record accounts for whether it was a win whether it was a strong win or close one

record is more important

A resume, one that is worth mentioning, encapsulate EVERYTHING.

I guess Buster > Tyson win is worth 42 wins ?

Why wasn't TBud confidence in a fight against Pacquiao at 147 then? Why did TBud wanted the fight at 140? But against Canelo, he had no problem going up 3 weight classes. That tells you everything you need to know on how he feels about Pacquiao.

Because Freddy Roach and Bob Arum publicly acknowledged that Pacquiao would get his ass kicked and neither wanted the fight.

these are the same people who waited for Shane to get beat by Floyd first

prior to that roach was all, “You’re too good, Shane.”

Just landed back from Vegas. Hence why I haven’t posted in about a week. Honestly what an event, kudos to TKO for putting this together. Atmosphere was great, the Mexicans came out, Omaha too. Best event I’ve been too in well over a decade.

For me this could be the greatest single victory in boxing history. Crawford was the smaller man, the older man, he was moving up essentially 3 divisions to a weight class far above his optimum weight, he’d been inactive for over a year and he was coming up against a modern great, a guy universally ranked top 10 P4P who’d dominated 168 for 5 years. There was no catchweight, no clauses, he was the B-side fighter but none of that mattered because Bud is just that damn good. I think what makes it so impressive is the way he won, he outboxed and he outfought Canelo, it was a truly magnificent and dominant performance.

For me personally, he’s the best I’ve seen live, the performance against Spence is probably the best performance I’ve seen live too. I’ve been privileged to watch guys like Floyd, Usyk, Inoue, Loma etc but Bud is easily the most impressive to watch live, the tools he has both offensively and defensively are incredible. I think he’s the best Welterweight since Ray Leonard- which is a 50/50 fight for me. I’d confidently say he beats both Floyd and Pac at 147. I just think he has far more weapons than both those guys at Welterweight.

It’s obviously subjective where he ranks all time, some will have him higher, some will have him lower, but what isn’t debatable is Bud Crawford is now certainly in that conversation.

You’re just jumping on the bandwagon now. People have been telling you for years.

Bud is 5'8''
Nelo is 5'7''
Both weighed 167.5 on fight night.
Nelo is much older than Bud in ring years and this is not up for debate

[JakeTheBoxer]

No, I am sorry, he is not.

It is obvious now, he has about 2-3 wins against guys of his size.

He was reducing himself down all these years, pretending he was too small to fight even at 154, if not 160-168, beating guys much smaller than him.

he is a career weight bully.

[hugh grant]

Bud needs to campaign at 168 for next 7 years to even be compared to pac. Pac campaigned in his 7 th weight class for 10 years beating all comers

[Jacobson]

Oh look another bandwagon fan. Where were you before the fight?
