    TC is special, thoughts?
    Crawford Is a special fighter and only 29 years old. We will see him Involved In some mega fights over the next 4-5 years.

      If you're referring to IBF that's because it hasn't been relevant since the 80's. Barely defended, largely a paper title. Same as NABO, IBO and NABF. Thus why Crawford basically walked through Indongo.

      Lineal, WBC, WBO and WBA are the only ones that really matter at the top of the game, and Floyd was all four as of May 3rd, 2015 until he retired.

        I love how you start with "I don't care what anyone says," but then ask about our thoughts😂.
        Anyhow, yes Crawford appears to be special but I don't think much as far as him beating Indongo. Indongo looked like a C- fighter in there but thats just my opinion.

          He's better than Danny Garcia

            I bet BloodBoxing on YT probably all hyped over Crawford right now, that dude gushes about the undisputed championship status in the sport.

              Jr welter has been around a lot longer than the 80s, at least since the 20s..

              ****ing Barney Ross was a 140 champ ffs

              Cruiser and supermiddle were created in the 80s..

                    The stars aligned and he got all the belts. Cong**** to him. He didn't beat anyone all that for it, but he still accomplished it, it will go down in history of 140lbs. Promotional issues, mando's, networks kill unifications but like I said, the stars aligned and he got the opportunity.

                      noone gives a **** abotu clearing out 140 which is a garbage division, thats why de la hoya floyd and manny were superstars, whilst noone has even heard of crawford. beating up guys like indongo isnt impressive. people keep saying oh he beat titlists, indongo was world champion, well thats more of an indictment on the division than any measure of indongos skills. he beat a **** to **** lightweight ricky burns to have that title, wow 140 is so hot right now!!!!!!
