Comments Thread For: Crawford: If I Beat Indongo - I'm The Pound For Pound Best!

[SteveM]

This is Roman Gonzalez-Wisaksil Wangek all over again, with Crawford taking the place of Gonzalez, who was riding a bit of excessive hype, with the p4p talk. You only had to listen to Carlos Cuadras, who said Wangek was the harder puncher (having fought both) and seemed to like his chances.

Indongo will likely give Crawford a beating much like that Wangek gave Gonzalez. Expect Crawford to visit the canvas and to see plenty of his own blood.

Just don't sit on the fence will you? Some tough tough guys have come out of Africa on almost zero news. And some tough tough seemingly invincible usa boxers have been undone in total upsets (McClellan and especially Curry). Still, hard to envisage what you say happening.

Postol Beltran Molina Diaz and Gamboa all were legit opponents but not enough for p4p #1.
GGG has fought nearly twice the ranked opponents that Crawford has fought and still people dispute him.
G vs Canelo for p4p #1

Ward is P4P King! And Bud has fought better competition than lil g plus lil g lost to Jacobs.

I disagree, Crawford my man. Being the undisputed 140 champ is on the right path to P4P numero uno, but that accolade lies ahead at 147. Once you take care of Indongo, take some of those elite scalps at 147 and you are the man.

Do you agree with Teddy Atlas ranking Lomachenko as P4P #1? By the way, that's a beautiful flower! Is that photo-shopped or the real thing?

Who has GGG beat? I mean, a hell of a lot better guys than Crawford has! Damn! Crawford sounding like a damn fool!

Bud beat better opponents than lil g, get it right lil g even lost to Jacobs, get it right & Andre "S.O.G." Ward is the P4P King, get it right!

This is a pound for pound list, so even the most unknowledgeable boxing fans on here can't be wrong! Can't believe there's not 20+ pages...

That said, how in tarnation can the ring place GGG at #2, let alone top five?

My top five in no particular order--Gonzalez, Loma, Rigondeaux, Crawford, & Ward.

I like your top 5. That said, Rigo hasn't done enough. In order of resume I have it Gonzalez, Ward, Loma, Bud, Rigo

In order of skills I have it, Rigo, Loma, Gonzalez, Bud, Ward

[j.razor]

It's so hard to place Crawford and Loma, but we know that they are 2 of the best fighters in the world. I know they belong in the top 5, with Ward, GGG, and Mikey Garcia, but I don't know what order to place them!

lil g does not belong on the list! He fought no top contender his whole pro career & lost to Jacobs.

[MDPopescu]

Nope. It's cool and all that he will be the only undisputed guy in boxing (should he win) but I can't see him being #1.

... should Indongo win... is that making him P4P #1???

[above Ward or Canelo-GGG winner?]

That was jim lamply not Teddy Atlas that ranked him on the P4P List.

Nah, Lomachenko still has many fights to go before he can get that crown. He has the skills to make it there, but he needs the names in the ring to make it a reality.

The pic isn't shopped that I know of. Probably just lens filtered. Surprisingly, I snatched it from a news article years ago. IIRC, the article was about hydroponics and the elevation of strains due to new growing technics.

In reality,
In Kovalev vs Ward 1, Kovalev won.
In Kovalev vs Ward 2, Ward would be disqualified for illegal punches.

That's just your opinion. The official record is the only one that matters, and the official record states that Ward won both fights.
