    Crawford has been able to plan for any opponent and adapt multiple times in fight to win. As much as I love Loma and Rigo they don't. They did in the AM;s but not in the Pro's. Maybe haven't been up against someone they needed to but arguably Loma needed to adapt to Salido and didn't he has admitted as much after. He didn't listen to his corner and he did not adapt to Salido.
    I'm sorry but Rigo and Loma have both fought better competition than Crawford. Why you guys don't take this into consideration idk.

And he is not coward like Mayweather i.e. not very defensive and he is not dirty like Ward. He wins each his opponents easily. Shortly I am a Crawford fan now. He is #1.
      He hasn't for anyone on the level of competition that Floyd and Ward fought. Boxing is the only sport where eye test Trump's actual competition

        Outside of switch hitting what does Crawford do better than the other two? I'm sorry but I think you guys are overrating him quite a bit.

          Rigo is in a class by himself, but Loma has Salido problems. When that last blown up feather, Mariaga, went into a shell, Loma started pitty patting and show boating. Loma was frustrated and they just stopped an ugly show. Bud opens them up, like a can opener. I have yet to see Crawford show boat or waste energy with no plan what to do next. If he's not the best, he's the most efficient.

            I am taking it into consideration, I just disagree. Crawford makes them look worse than they are. Crawfords slickness and just whole schtick makes it seem like he is coasting bums to a win but he is not. He is just dominating and making them look basic. I'm sorry but NOONE wanted to fight Rigo, they all ducked him so he has 1 name on his resume lol. Loma got beaten by Salido, yeah he was pushed fast, yeah it was close, yeah Salido is a rough dirty bastard but he did not know how to deal with it. I dunno, I like all 3 but you are severely underplaying Crawfords resume and severely overplaying the other 2's. It's not like any of them is routinely beating HoF'rs but Crawford has fought every fight that has been there.

            In a perfect world Rigo would really be the top, as Frampton, Santa Cruz etc all would not have ducked him and he would have multiple wins over p4p champions or at least no question marks. Loma can't be judged yet, his direction is good but his management is more overall career orientated than take the hardest fight possible.

                      If you understand boxing you watch the boxers box and you can see the ability in fighters, only fans that are into hype cant see the ability without a resume full of HOFs, fans are about names and hype, just watch the fights and its easy to see that TC is special.
