Why was Crawford able to become undisputed so fast AFTER MOVING UP?

[iamboxing]

People been ducking lil g like the plague. If he didn't pay the step aside money these clowns would just vacate, it's the only chance he had. He'll destroy the diva in less than a month's time putting that discussion to rest. Crawford is a very special talent who is underrated and had a series of guys not afraid to face him because people think well "he can't be THAT good" but he IS that good; by the time they face him, it's too late.

Because hes not really a small guy. He could even fight at 147 which i think is where he will end his career, hes the size of a welterweight and hes really good. Not really surprised he cleaned out 140.

GGG is just a normal sized MW and is trying to become undisputed as well, if he does he might also move up.

And like everyone else has said, the title holders in his division werent ducking him the whole time he got to fight for the belts fairly quickly. If GGG had that type of oppurtunity he could have been undisputed by now also.

This. Guy is almost 160 fight night. GGG is 165 most fights 30 days out and he's amazed that crawford can no longer make weight so he moves up.

Because we needed an American hero, he's got mad skills, and he's whipped up on some decent fighters.

At 160lb GGG was ducked. If he got the fights, it's not really a question that he would have unified.

Crawford has Bob Arum in his corner, a promoter who can make shyt happen.

A bit of luck, it takes two to tango. It wasn't as easy for GGG to get all the belts like it has been for Crawford. Other beltholders also fought each other at 140 which meant the belts ended up with two fighters (Crawford and indigo.)

Crawford was in a very fortunate situation that was aided by Indongo.
You see, there's no doubt in my mind if Indongo didn't beat those other champs. At least one of them would have ducked Crawford. I've been watching boxing too long, and that's just how a lot of fighters are...well their management rather. So props to Indongo and his team, his heart and will to be a real champion is the reason Crawford is what he is now. Undisputed.


Gennady has been ducked. This is the problem with having so many belts. A lot of managers/promotional en****** are just cool with having a guy hide out with the belt so they can promote him as a "champion".
If a guy is a top contender in your division,or another "champion" within one of the four respected bodies. Then you should be fighting them. I don't care how much money a fighter is making, if he has earned his keep, earned his shot. Then you should be fighting him to prove you're the best. Anything else is a waste of time in my eyes.

Anyone else think Indongo lost before the fight even started? He looked intimidated before the bell even rang, he was looking for a way out of that fight. That's not to discredit Crawford who clearly is a very good fighter.

He agreed to step aside while interim champion and was quickly elevated to world champion. He agreed to step aside because it was his preference to beat Canelo for the belt. It's not his fault Canelo didn't want to fight him until he was older.

GGG isn't undisputed because Frank Warren has been holding the WBO title hostage.

Crawford is undisputed because Hearn had options on Indongo and knew after Crawford won that he'd be vacating the titles anyway. So it was in Hearn's best interest to make sure Indongo couldn't leave him with the belts.

Crawford is undisputed because none of the belts were being held hostage by a rival promoter. GGG isn't undisputed because one of the belts was held hostage by a rival promoter.

Fairly simple.

Golovkin grew a year old? Lol #Hopkins.

He did get the fights. Industry was also pushing for Astana Expo 3017 to be indices BJS. Every Golvokin fan didn't want that fight... that Canelo was better, so when Nelo wins, those fans will jump over to Nelo

Think thats his natural look tbh, he had that same look in the Burns fight, odd, like hes seeing stuff for the first time. Remember thinking Burns had a shot, Indongo looking dazed. Then he smashed Burns up.
