The rest are whatever. Molina, Lundy, and even Udango (who somehow captured two belts) are just ok wins. His reign at the division is similar to GGG before he fought Jacobs and Canelo. Just a bunch of decent wins in spectacular fashion, but nobody elite.


        Garcia dominated highly regarded Lucas Matthysse and Amir Khan, two fights where he was the major underdog in. That alone is more than Crawford has done his entire career. Bradley beat undefeated guys like Peterson and Alexander with ease and also has scalps like Miguel Vasquez, Witter, and Holt.

        So where's all the Crawford hype coming from? Does unifying all the trinkets at a division, against ok competition no less, mean that much today?
        Nailed it!!! I like Crawford but these dudes seriously overrate the fuck out of people sometimes.

          Not marketable?!?! Have you seen how he sells out fights in Omaha!!!

            Ok in all seriousness my point was other fighters have done more than Floyd at certain weight classes but that doesn’t make them better than him

              khan and maidana are two of the most overrated fighters of recent times.

                Its not about who has the better resume (Khan and Bradley are clearly better and Garcia is better too) BUT it's about how Crawford has worked his way through these guys. Regardless of their historical relevance to the division, TC hasnt lost a round, stopped most of them and looked completely in control.

                The guy can literally do what he wants in the ring, be defensive, be offensive, go for a KO, go southpaw, go orthodox, move, taunt...these guys cant catch him. Ofc, its the least competitive the division has been in years but thats not his fault.

                And a huge part of p4p is how good a fighter looks, in comparison to other fighters, regardless of weight, meaning who would win, if all things were equal. I dont think theres anyone in boxing who can match his skills right now.

                Possibly Loma is close, maybe GGG...but certainly no one else.
