    Is Crawford being underrated

    I heat people saying that Mosley, Kostya, and Delehoya beat this version pf Crawford but how cam we be so sure none of these guys ever fought a fighter as skilled as Crawford. Oscar struggled against Pernell who is a smaller version of Terence. Mosley struggled against Oscar who doesn't have the same ring iq as Bud. And Kostya lost to Phillips.

    I say Bud should move up to 147 immediately. There are no fights for him at 140. Beating Indogno won't be anything spectacular.

    Bob Arum should make Crawford vs Vargas. That would be a good fight to test out 147 for Bud.

      Way better for him to arrive at 147 the undisputed 140 pound champ. He beats Thurman with ease I think.

            He's a skilled fighter. But for some reason, he has some aura of being a boring fighter. Maybe the way he clinches eventhough he is the superior fighter in the ring. Think of Wlad, someone who KOs opponents but is still viewed as boring. Or Ward or the advance-age Hopkins, who keeps winning but isnt for TV.

            I dont even like ODLH but he is wayyyy more excting to watch Crawford.

                  Hopkins and Ward don't go for the kill. Crawford definitely does. He is like a surgeon in there with one of the meanest in ring dispositions that I have seen in a while. I find his style exciting.

                    There's a lot of people here that will deny him no matter what he does. Mayweather went through the same thing. If people dislike him for whatever reason, fine. But, don't pretend he isn't looking amazing out there.

                    Think about this; we haven't even seen the guy's ceiling yet. We know he's extremely talented, yet we don't even know how good he actually is yet.
