Crawford is overrated

[chrisJS]

the way hes spoke about and his p4p ranking means hes overrated. Careers can go south real quick once you go to 147, just ask adrien broner. Its a whole different league to 140 and lightweight (which was very weak when both crawford and broner fought in it). Its easy to get carried away with the hype but if crawford did lose you'd look back on his CV and think, erm how the hell did i rate him p4p number 1. Someone like danny garcia would likely be undefeated if they'd fought crawfords opposition. Theres a lot to prove still.

A HUGE difference between Crawford and Broner is that Crawford cleaned out 135 by beating the #1, 2 & 3 and then won every belt at 140. He's also absolutely dominated every fight and with the exception of the Gamboa fight never lost more than 2 rounds in a fight. Broner got a few gift decisions, won some vacant titles and his best win was DeMarco who was about as good as Hank Lundy.

Garcia also probably didn't deserve the win over Herrera or Peterson. Crawford has beaten better guys than either of those. Garcia is very good but had hard fights many times. What would Crawford have done with Garcia's 140 opposition? Thrashed Herrera and Mattheyse and a washed up Morales wouldn't earn a re-match.

Crawford is a complete fighter. Perhaps the most complete fighter in Boxing outside of Lomachenko. Cleaning out two divisions and being as dominant as anyone else in the sport is all he could do so far given the circumstances so he deserves plaudits. Nobody is saying he's an all-time great yet. That will be tested at 147 IMO.

yeah, hes a better fighter than broner but i do think that demonstrates what can happen, broner was getting MAD hype and featuring on pound for pound lists based on his work at the lower weights. I find it almost impossible to imagine crawford having that much of a downward trajectory but who knows what will happen when he fights spence or thurman. Until them fights happen then the jury is out as far as im concerned my friend.
