Crawford has defeated five top-3 contenders in his weight class since 2014

Who was complete trash?

indongo, all he beat was shot ricky burns who is a lightweight, technically appalling and he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. molina is crap too, dont tell me thats an impressive win. beltrans got a few losses and has never been world level. whos ricky burns actually beat either come to think of it?

[IronDanHamza]

Very solid.

Now it's time to move to 147 where the big boys are.

So we have we have a different definition of what complete trash is then because many fight fans said the same thing about GG's resume until he fought Jacobs.

[Robbie Barrett]

none of them fighters listed above are much good whichever way you dress it up, and a couple of them are complete trash. it shows how weak them divisions are that they were ranked so highly.

****ing Golovkin fans are the biggest jokes ever. L...Le..Lemieux was a top MW though.

How is Jacobs a stronger win than Gamboa first off? Gamboa was ranked pfp and beat a man Loma lost to.

Second, how do you clowns go from clowning Jacobs before the fight...****ting all over him after Mora put him down, talking about GG is going to ko Jacobs early...and now that victory is better than anyone Bud has fought? Lmao.

Yall took a complete **** on Jacobs, and when he gave GG a good fight like I said he would, now Jacobs can beat everyone from 160 and 168 because GG eeked out a good tough win.

I don't remember anyone dissing Burns, Postol and Gamboa before Bud fought them, just afterwards. Foh

Sure Gamboa beat Salido but not in his 2nd pro fight not sure how it's relevant to Lomachenko but whatever.

Gamboa coming up in weight and Jacobs being bigger than GGG balances out the status of both guys IMO. I am a Crawford fan -he's my favorite fighter. I actually thought Jacobs would do well against GGG and never **** on him. I'd say Gamboa has had a better career to date but Jacobs was more of a challenge for reasons already stated.

Crawford was a big lightweight facing a featherweight moving up. GGG was facing a bigger middleweight in a unification bout who cheated the weigh-in. The wins aren't a million miles apart.

Never dissed Postol either. I think that's an excellent win that has been completely underrated.

[Raggamuffin]

I mean Dominic Wade is about as bad as it gets.

[Loque-san]

Rather unimpressive considering the names. Except maybe Postol, none of these fighters were worthy of a top 3 spot, based on skill-level or accomplishments.

Crawford deserves more credit for his win over Felix Diaz and maybe even Gamboa. This shows once again how deceptive world titles and rankings can be, and how some posters will use them to make the boxers they like look good.

WTF, lmao. Balances out? Gamboa beat Salido. Gamboa was trying to be great moving up and even wobbled Bud. There are no excuses for Loma losing. That's the fight he took and Loma's people felt like that was a winnable fight. Loma gave a spirited effort and came up short. Jacobs is a true MW and weighed in at 160 so your size excuse means jack no matter what he rehydrated to.

Floyd and Pac and many others historically have moved up in weight and were outweighed by as much 15 + pounds.

Jacobs had a spirited effort after the fact, but before the fight everyone ****ted on him over being put down by Mora and Jacobs first ko loss to Pirog questioning his chin.

[TRTboy]

It shows how weak that division is if those guys are the top guys lol. Good job
