Think about it...that's the ONLY thing separating Crawford as the current p4p #1 right now. People might argue that it's a weak division but is it really THAT much weaker than Thomas Dulorme, Viktor Postol, Ricky Burns etc. who Crawford defeated to become undisputed Light Welterweight champion?
Should Usyk clean out Bridgerweight to become 3x undisputed like Bud?

No. That BS weight class doesn’t deserve validating. Postol was a good win too, people forget he was coming off a KO win over Matthysse. A lot of people felt he’d give Bud big problems. Always been a lot of revisionism with Crawford wins. -
Postol was a good win but Matthysse was at the end of his career and had a few losses when they fought. Bridgerweight definitely is the weakest division in boxing right now but there have been a few 'decent' champions like Okolie and that Dagestani with an elite amateur background. Also, who knows, the weight class might explode in the near future and become more glamourous.
I have Crawford as the current p4p #1 but Usyk's defeat of a PRIME Fury (twice) was more impressive (especially since Canelo is at the end of his career too) whereas beating prime Gassiev & Breidis combined in on PAR par with beating Spence (post life-changing car crash).Last edited by HisExcellency; 09-27-2025, 01:05 PM.Comment

BS division. That said, if a unified champion comes out of the fray, Usyk going down to destroy whoever it is would be fine by me.Comment

Very true but don't forget that there were only 8 original boxing weight classes (which has now grown to 17). Therefore, I'm sure that people were saying the same thing about them when they first started out and now practically EVERY single weight class is solid and competitive.Comment

No
it's about WHO you beat HOW you beat them and WHEN you beat them
titles and labels are marketing gimmick ploys
Ezzard is the goat light heavyweight despite being uncrowned with the championship at 175. top 5 p4p all time
Sam didn't get to become heavyweight champ but is top 4 all time anyways because he beat some real iggas in his timeLast edited by SouthpawRight; 09-27-2025, 01:29 PM.Comment

beating future great Half-Slav real igga Moses after he does 2-3 more fights for experience would be buffer than mopping the random at bridger
heavyweight has historically been a top 3 prestigious divisionComment

That's MY point...Light Welterweight was HARDLY stacked with talent when Crawford became undisputed champion. For example, Burns, Dulorme & Postol are no Spence/Canelo even thought it's still a great achievement.No

100% although people will moan he was too green just like when Mayweather played with Canelo like food.Comment
