Why is Crawford ranked ahead of GGG and Canelo?

[Sheldon312]

Both have better resumes than Crawford and it could be argued that GGG beat Canelo and vice versa. So, what's the deal with Crawford being p4p 1

I have GG and Canelo 1 and 2 respectively (i thought GG won a close one)

They both elevated themselves in that fight imo.

Crawford in 3. Loma 4. Both those guys have good wins, and they look the goods, but need that defining opponent now (no Rigo does not count).

Terrance got the complextion for the protection

Skill. People are giving him credit for his skill level which is top class. GGG is my favorite fighter but I rank him behind Crawford. Crawford is the total package.

Why doesn't Rigo count?

Yes, but GGG has the better resume. That's like saying Mikey should be ranked higher than Thurman due to being more technical but it is clear that Keith has the superior resume

The question should rather be, why are Golovkin and Canelo even on the P4P list? Crawford has managed to be the one unbeatable guy in multiple divisions that no one there could mess with, while Golovkin and Canelo are not even the definitive champs of one division and have plenty of opponents around that could possibly beat them. They simply don't have Crawford's aura of invincibility and he's not a primitive slugger like them.

Both ESPN (the one that matters) and Ring have GGG ranked #1 Pound for Pound. I dont know which weird ranking site you are talking about?

[Redd Foxx]

P4P isn't just about resume. That's why. He's not my #1 but things are so close that you can expect people to have different P4P lists, post-Ward. Tomorrow night will likely make it even more complicated.

Hasnt fought a top opponent since Donaire in 2013. No way of knowing if he is still the same fighter

If he beats Loma he would go to no.1. Not just cos of that win, but because he would show that he is still the same guy who beat Donaire.
