GET A FACT CHECKER

CRAWFORD IS THE 3rd. CECILIA BRAEKHUS IS THE 2nd.

jesus, ur a sportswriter. u should know this.

"becoming only the second boxer in history (Bernard Hopkins being the other) to unify all four of the major titles in his division (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO)."

[FinitoxDinamita]

I rate crawford higher than loma. He is flat out better.

were there any comments about salty taste?

LOMO is no. 5 or 6 on my list.

Great! Who are 1,2,3,4,5?

[greenarcher89]

Loma is one of my favorite boxers but i have to agree with Crawford in this one. It is not easy to unify all belts and he fought a more credible fighters on that year

Haha dang all those are facts... Crawford just opened Pandora's box. He should have kept quiet about that especially with him and Loma being with Top Rank.Golden rule never go against the most beloved and respected fighters that's a no win situation every time. Anything you say against them just makes you look bad no matter how true it is. You just have to wait until there run ends. Now the pressure is all on Crawford if he loses he'll be heavily criticized and these comments will be brought up.

anybody who knows boxing knows crawford is right.
loma is considered p4p #1 among UNDEFEATED fighters despite him having a LOSS that was NOT avenged to a fighter who had DOUBLE DIGIT LOSSES.
we know why he(lomachenko) is rated so high

Yeah butvehos going to best him? He won't be fighting any real threats for a while. He's in a tough spot right now.

140 was a weak division lets be honest.

So is 130 or ylu wouldnt be bringing guys up to fight.

I've been saying exactly the same things as this for ages & getting flamed regularly by lomasexuals. Yet now that bud said the same truths many are now agreeing that were talking sh before,& others who were on buds nuts are now full-blown Crawford haters since he committed the cardinal deadly sin of all sins by saying hurtful truths about" GAWD lomachenko",& that means the sect of lomasexuals found a new enemy#1......

Actually Crawford beat Burns in addition to Beltran and Gamboa. Burns and Beltran were considered the best at 135 besides Crawford. He deserved to win Foty that year. I also think Loma deserved it last year. 3 wins against top opponents, 1 of which was rigo despite the size difference. Made all 3 quit and I think that was the difference because he was so dominant. Should be another close Foty race between Loma and Crawford this year too. There are a handful of top ww Crawford can fight this year

I actually didn't have a problem with Crawford taking it in 2014.
But people complain about Loma fighting a smaller Rigo and a inactive Walters, but Crawford was praised like crazy for beating a smaller and inactive Gamboa.
I also see people complaining about a potential match-up between Loma-Beltran, but people were perfectly fine with Crawford-Beltran.
That's what I am pointing out.

If Loma has to fight Beltran sometime this year I expect people to not cry about it.
Beltran would possible have a title and he'll be a top 5 opponent at Lightweight.
And he was an acceptable opponent for Crawford.

Crawford is not getting Spence, Thurman, Porter, nor Garcia this year.
Thurman probably fights Porter late this years and I think they will make Garcia fight Spence either in June or late this year. That's my prediction.
They're going to make one of those guys fight Spence, because they know Spence has star potential and they won't want to mess it up.
Spence will have a better year than Crawford.

But of course Crawford will push himself as Fighter of the Year for 2018.
He is like a spoiled kid. He acts like a kid.

It's way to early to discuss Fighter of the Year though. We will see. I don't see many options for Crawford. He may become even more frustrated and try to leave Top Rank.
