    He's not the only one, Andrade is getting little hype and he's a big time talent. Still Crawford seems more advanced mentally

        Not sure about that. One is proven to be able to overcome adversity. The other..... well, you know.

          I already don't like him. Something about him I don't like. N HBO well max was trying to convince us how great he is which I find annoying.

            Look, if you're a black guy and you don't belong to the groups:

            a) Mayweather and Broner
            b) Kirkland and Thurman

            Then you're not getting hyped. Which is a shame in my book, because Crawford is the future at 135 and will be a player at 140.

              At 135 Gamboa looks horrible. His first fight with the Philippino fisherman he almost got kod n looked horrible doing it. Then his last fight vs Perez if the ref would have made the right calls on both knockdowns when Perez got no credit for landing a punch n Gamboa slipping that fight would have been scored way closer thats a 4 point swing. Anyways Gamboa looked horrible in both n Crawford at this point looks way better at this weight

                I had never heard of him before the Prescott fight but man, I was freaking impressed with this guy. He has many aspects to his game plus he adjusts very well and has great composure. I think he can beat almost anyone in front of him at 135 or 140 provided he gets 1 or 2 more upper-level fights first.

                He is MUCH more versatile than Broner is.

                  He is still a prospect trying to work his way up, NO NEED TO HYPE HIM NOW!

                  Let the guy continue to grow and develop as a fighter. But So far he is very impressive, not a fan of Bob Arum though so it sucks that he is with Top Rank. That might actually hurt him more then it helps him as far as building a fanbase goes but we shall see.

                    As an American, I am very high on crawford.... Probably wont get tons of hype because he is not a KO guy or a villain like broner/floyd...

                    I see him being like Rigo, with tons of talent but no marketing machine behind him....

                    I think he is the best 135 pounder in the world today,, and probably the best fighter without a belt....
                    He looks to be the real deal...
                    Vs prescott he was a pure boxer, and in his last fight he was walking the guy down, looking for the ko,,, He is very versatile...
