Thoughts on Crawford's opposition?

[Box-Office]

Crawford's last 3 opponents have been:

Dierry Jean
Thomas Dulorme
Raymundo Beltran


These guys aren't bums, very solid contenders who had a shot to win (including Jean), but they are nothing to brag about. None of these guys are former World Champions and more importantly none have ever beaten a name.



This time he is fighting a "fringe" contender in Hank Lundy who is worse than all 4 and has defeats to Dulorme and Beltran. For someone being built as a superstar, what do you make of such underwhelming opposition?


Thoughts?

abregu defeated dulorme too, and we saw how slow he is vs sadam ali. crawford best win is against a super feather weight who outboxed him at times and rocked him a few times yet we are supposed to believe that manny ducked this guy

Provodnikov, Herrera, and Postol were all considered for this next fight, but all were not interested. In fact, Provodnikov and Herrera would rather rematch than face Bud. Hopefully he can get a name opponent next up after Lundy. He's not the type to want to avoid competition to keep that 0.

Crawford is taking out who they put in front of him. It's not his fault some big name fighters don't want to mix it up. I believe when Crawford gets another shot at a big fight, he will prevail. I believe in his ability both physically and mentally.

I like Crawford a lot but I have to admit that I don't see the skills and the talent in him that can make him a P4P superstar, his team know his weaknesses and they're matching him carefully since he has the potential to be a star, but to me Crawford still has a lot to prove, his level opposition hasn't been all that great.

The 3 guys that make sense all declined to fight him. So what's he supposed to do? not fight

Postol, provodnikov, Herrera all said not right now. And the broner fight won't happen due to politics

so what's left?

Crawford is a good boxer that has won all his fights decisively from what I can remember. I don't see that he has any superior trait that really stands out like say rapid hand speed, thudding power, or iron chin. He's not slow however, doesn't seem overly glass jawed, and he carries enough pop to turn a fight around if it lands (might not put someone out but they'll be rocked). I think when he does face a truly solid p4p boxer he will opt to engage in a firefight looking to score a knockout which he can probably pull off as opposed to a methodical boxing match. I don't think he is an easy win for anyone and I do believe that he carries the edge over Postol, Broner, and Herrera.

Crawford benefitted greatly from being at TR. I was hoping he and Postol would fight next. It is disappointing to see him fight what IMO is a lesser opponent tha the last 3.

I expect him to take on better opponents this year but it appears all the best 140lb guys are with Haymon.

Herrera, if doable, would be a good next fight.
