Is Crawford the epitome of a boxing champion? Floyd's reign suddenly became a bit funny in comparison

[dibzvincent143]

Floyd fought Arturo Gatti, Sharmba Mitchell, Zab Judah, Carlos Baldomir, Oscar De La Hoya, Rycky Hatton, Juan Manquel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Miguel Cotto, Robert Guerrero, Canelo Alvarez, Marcos Maidana, Marcos Maidana again, Manny Pacquiao, and Andre Berto CONSECUTIVELY.

And prior to that he had already beaten Genaro Hernandez, Gregorio Vargas, Diego Corrales, Jesus Chavez, Jose Luis Castillo, Jose Luis Castillo again, and Chop Chop Corley.

Get a grip on realiy.

If you have the slightest reading comprehension you would know that I'm not taking anything away from Floyd's resume, or if this is anything close to being about that at all...
During his reign would you refer to Floyd as the "epitome of a champion"?? as someone who would gladly **** and fight anybody at anytime? hell naaa. he was never viewed that way... he wasn't viewed as someone who'd fearlessly fight anybody or someone who would challenge himself. he was often viewed as a ducker and has been acting like a clown many times over... as much as I admired his skills and talents in the boxing ring, those issues I've mentioned were real and there were not even half of all of it.

Tbud doesn't have all that names but he was more revered as a great fighter.... and during Floyd's reign I haven't seen close to the same admiration despite him engineering everything to perfection lol

now that's reality...

Spence (meh)
Nelo

you guys really have such poor reading comprehension even when you have English as your native language lol.. who said this post was about resumes. nor did I even take a slight at Floyd's resume.. I'm saying Tbud is more revered as a champion and as a fighter in his reign... while Floyd was never respected as much (for obvious reasons) even with all them achievements lol and I listed not even half his funny issues during his prime.... and im a huge fan of skills and talent

Floyd certainly weren't epitome of a champion..In a climate of people wanting him to lose, floyd didn't play ball. Floyd was closer to being epitome of a cherry picker. Bud was similar and we are only seeing bud differently now as he's finally stepped up, better late than never

Didn't even read it.

Floyd's resume is in another league to Crawford's, who is also a great fighter.

Floyd beat ten fighters with a #1 rankings in the division being fought in at the time they fought, as well 7 Top 10 P4P ranked fighters at the time they fought.

Multiple prime HOF'ers.

Speaks for itself.

If you did then you would have processed in your brain that this post wasn't about Floyd not being a great fighter nor was thing about downplaying his resume...
I simply said Crawford is more revered and respected as a fighter even though he didn't achieved as much.... and I haven't seen Floyd ever was respected this much during his entire reign because of the obvious reasons I've mentioned.... also added the issues he encountered during his time at the top.. which wasn't even close to half of them...

so let me ask you this, would you honestly say with a straight face that Floyd was the epitome of a boxing champion during his prime? that he was someone who gladly fight a top fighter any time anywhere and **** with them? he'll naaaa

TBF, only read the title
Looked at the comment "assumed" it was a "hate" piece.
So many "Bud is the new ATG and May is a joke" threads

I mentioned Bud's "deep" resume to put things in perspective, IF it were a nonsensical hate piece.
Unless you haven't noticed, NSB is loaded with such threads.

My apologies

Floyd wasn't taking on all comers that would mean fighting the best guys in their prime

Crawford eh he really didn't have the depth of talent that Floyd had, he did get prime Spence, and a faded Canelo is better than no Canelo

- - Spence was shot to shyte after taking flying lessons in his Ferrari.

Clearly seen in his comeback fight vs Ugh where he was off balance and tentative and needed idiotic Texas Ref Laurence Cole to intervene to save him. Judges in on it as well having Spence wide to kicking towards Craw for an easy payday...

But he isn’t except by loser NSB stans of guys Floyd beat that hate Floyd. The dudes on this board that act like that are the ones that shouldn’t be respected in any way.

As for you saying TBud is more revered, can you show something that indicates this?

Floyd has been voted best of his generation by multiple publications. He has also been voted the #1 boxer of the 1st quarter century.

Crawford just ascended to best in his generation by beating Canelo, who Floyd essentially blanked.

NSB does this frequently whenever someone has a big win. GGG, Loma, Usyk, and now Bud.

Even Bud says in interviews Floyd is the best he’s ever seen.

Right, but he's not. He's not at all.

Just until recently the narrative was his resume is garbage. Boxing is a what have you done lately for me sport, so right now he has praise. Just yesterday he was heavily criticized.

So, no, is the answer.

Sniffle sniffle

Crawford super blanked the version of Canelo that Floyd avoided rematching
