So Crawford is the new undisputed JWW champ since Kostya Tszyu back in the turn of the millennium.
Is he the first guy to hold 6 recognised belts? WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO/RING? We've seen the criteria for claiming undisputed champion go from WBC/WBA - then IBF, now WBO. I predict in the next ten years as the IBO becomes a recognised major sanctioning body that it will be required to hold its belt to claim undisputed status. It should be noted the IBO uses BoxRec and a computerised system to objectively rank fighters as compared with some of the other practices used by their contemporaries.
But does it end? There is still the WBF, IBA, IBC who operate as lower level sanctioning bodies serving mainly to sanction 'championship fights' for over the hill former contenders, titlists, and champions.

Let's talk the thruth. The Junior Welterweight division is pretty weak at the moment. Ask yourself, who else is really there besides Crawford?...long gone are the days when 140 was stacked, back when DSG, Khan, prime Matthysse, Peterson, Broner etc. Bud just did what he was supposed to do, props to him but i still feel like he has yet to face a real prime elite fighter. I hope he gets out of Top Rank soon enough. Let's see him mix it up with the likes of Errol Spence Jr, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter & Danny Garcia.

I don't think the current welterweight crop has any ATG talent. Its in a weak state, full of unproven fighters (and a washed up Pacman). Its a shame really, as it was the premier division for so long
