I agree, Mikey Is Great!

His best win so far is garbage... He would lose to Bud.

Doesn't matter. Ward's resume ****s on Crawford's

And both **** on Kell Brooks ****ty resume. Brook has one ugly ass win over Porter. That's it.

Crawford accomplishment is historic. You can't devalue it because weak opposition if those are the opponents that were available to him. If he goes up to WW and face top competition and start losing then you can revisit what he did at a lower weight.

its a poor resume. thing is if you put someone like danny garcia against crawfords opposition he would be undefeated.lets see how crawford does against spence and thurman. maybe he will win, maybe he wont, but thats the only way to se how good he is. hes looked impressive but its not hard to look good against the fighters hes been fighting.

It's no suprise to see so many people devaluing this accomplishment. I mean let's be honest. Half the people that frequent this forum think Mayweather is a bum. Is it really a surprise to see people downplaying this accomplishment with that in mind?

I wasn't a big fan of his at first but he wins fight after fight in convincing fashion. His opposition is strong he just makes them look weak. It reminds me of GGG and his critics who call guys like Murray, Monroe and Lemieux bums after he knocks them out. Meanwhile Monroe and Lemieux have won every fight since he beat them. Crawford is on my top 5 pound for pound list after crushing the African in addition to all his other impressive wins. He has fought the guys he is supposed to fight and easily beat them. That's all he can do. I am pretty sure he will beat the winner of Pacquiao vs Horn or any 140 pound boxer including Mikey.
