Thing is. If it was Vargas first and then the winner of Pac/Horn 2, I'd be cool with that. That's a solid first 2 fights at 147, then can move on to the real big fish. But Alvarado would be such a ****ing waste of time. Dude was getting whooped on for 2 rounds by a cab driver, but scores a highlight reel KO and now can be sold as some legit opponent. God I will be pissed if part of Crawford's prime is wasted on this fight

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.Comment

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.Comment

He actually broke Brook's other socket. Did you even watch the fight?Spence was even on the scorecards with Brook, a much inferior fighter to Crawford, before his eye fell apart again
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 longComment
