Terence Crawford - fighter of the year?

[LacedUp]

With an UNBEATEN RECORD

Well now you're just changing the criteria to suit your agenda.

And unbeaten record is no good if you have an obvious loss on it anyway.

I think his three best wins are massively overrated...
Ricky Burns someone who was constantly under huge scrutiny but because he went to Scotland it makes it any more of a big deal?
Raymundo Beltran a journeyman at best who was clearly lacking in every department when he fought TC, there's more to boxing than looking in shape.
Those two are C- fighters or C at the highest rating.

Gamboa is his best win but even at that... does two C's and a B+ fighter merit FOTY?
Canelo has beat Lara who has a by far more impressive resume than Gamboa, put this into perspective Gamboa hasn't beat anyone as good as Austin Trout and he had been inactive for a year and wasn't big enough for the weight?

Clear FOTY choice... I do not think so.

GGG, Canelo and Pacquiao should be well ahead of him.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Kovalev or Pacquiao for me.

The manner of the Hopkins win is extremely impressive. Manny has a very good win over Bradley and I regard Algieri more than Burns and Beltran.

Would have no issue with Golovkin or Crawford getting it, but Kovalev and Pacquiao have better wins.

[BodiesInFlight]

Crawford. He has hardly lost a round all year.

[M Bison]

Crawford. He has hardly lost a round all year.

Neither has Wladimir and I'm not saying he should be rated as FOTY what's your point?

[Thomas_Hearns]

Pacquiao. He beat the number 3 bradley.

[IronDanHamza]

I think it's either Crawford or Walters.

That's what I was going to say.

[BodiesInFlight]

Neither has Wladimir and I'm not saying he should be rated as FOTY what's your point?

That he's been dominant against good opposition.

[M Bison]

That he's been dominant against good opposition.

I wouldn't stretch the envelope and call Burns or Beltran good...
I said the same thing before the Beltran fight happened yet people were trying to sell it saying Beltran is a dangerous guy who came on better later in his career.

Take a look at the fights Burns had before Crawford then the fights after Crawford it says it all about him, perhaps lucky or perhaps the broken jaw finished him once and for all like it finished Ortiz.

He has one good win in this year against a guy who wasn't big enough for 135lbs and with one year of inactivity.

That he's been dominant against good opposition.

who was picking beltran to win?
