Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Don't Rate Lomachenko as P4P 1 or Fighter of The Year!

[BillyBoxing]

I don't really pay attention to US boxing anymore. Is this guy actually good or did they just wedge him in there by media force since floyd and ward retired? Looks kind of bummish to me

He's a very impressive fighter but never really faced a A fighter (let alone a great fighter). But he white washed his opposition.
He's the best over the last years 135-140.
But Mickey is coming.


Now him being P4P best, that's a bit overrated.

I mean, Canelo is probably better P4P.
Nelo had a draw moving up to fight a beast like GGG.

Nelo get wins over Lara, Trout, Chavez jr moving up 2 weight class.

Crawford can only brag about wins over Idongo and Postol.
Let's see if Crawford get a draw vs Spence.

I think Loma is better P4P because he fought slightly better opposition than Crawford and was even more dominant doing it.

Crawford said "2 weight categories". He himself was ~3 weight categories bigger if he talked abought unofficial weight in the ring so guess what, he talked about scales on a pre-fight day

Take either. Loma was 2 divisions bigger.

No secret in what bud is saying. Probably Only to the fanboys who eat up everything HBO say about their fighters.

Are you serious?

Crawford is right. He didn’t tell one lie. I’ve been saying it is too soon to be crowning Lomachenko. He barely has pro fights. I don’t know how he’s getting all this recognition with only 11 pro fights including a loss.

As a pro boxer Rigo only has what,...19 total fights?!?! And before the Lomachenko fight, Rigo held an almost ledgendary status in the boxing world. It’s not like Rigo’s record is filled with a multitude of top competitors either. I’m not a huge Lomachenko fan but the fact of the matter is this, last year Lomo made three fighter QUIT!!! Bud got two victories, but making opponents quit speaks volumes over getting decisions or even KO’s. That’s why Lomo got the nod over Crawford.

Lomachenko was the boxingscene fighter of the year, as voted for by members. I personally ranked some other guys above him, and as I said, Loma/Rigo was never the fight people made it out to be.

TC is just being jealous though lol

[Bronx2245]

FACTS! Preach TC! AMEN!

[whatismyname]

Tc is p4p number 1.

why do you jump in and throw poorly informational statements to the discussion moving it to the different direction?
Do you consider yourself as "salty haters" lead by Cryford?
Crawford as a salty hater with leaded company called Vasily too big against Rigo with 2 weight category difference and I stated facts which show that he wasn't that big at all comparing to Crawford's Gamboa fight.
Loma weight in - 129 lbs (1 lbs space)
Rigo weight in - 128.4 lbs
Crawford weight in - 134.8 lbs
Gamboa weight in - 134.4 lbs

I call Crawford crying douche and you try to sneak into your hate comment without connection to Crawford at all, go find some hater's only topic or something or stop quoting people cutting discussion out of original context.

You said Loma wasn't much bigger than Rigo, that is a lie. I corrected you on that lie. Lomachenko was at least 2 divisions bigger in ring.

Neither Loma or Crawford should have got fighter of the year. Rungvisai should have.

This write up doesn't cover all of what he said. There's a video on DBN. It wasn't salty. He was just comparing their wins last year.

He was telling the truth. He did face better comp.

Good to hear. He definitely had the better year and his comments were not about Lomachenko's skills but his resume in comparison. I feel as though if Don King had Crawford back in the day, he would be a superstar already. Not sure what Arum is doing but ESPN is the perfect platform for him to blow up and become huge.
