What Active Fighters Have The Best Resumes?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

140 was a barren wasteland when Crawford competed in it

Probably the worst division in the entire sport

He got his straps off of
Dulhorme for a vacant
Postol - who’s had 1 decent win
Indongo - who after getting assaulted by Prograis showed he’s maybe 1 level higher then a scrub


Add in Lundy, Diaz , Molina , Jean ( none of these fighters has ever won a world championship and between the 4 might have 4-6 good names on their resume in total )

This whole list consists of 2 fighters who have won a strap ( Postol & Indongo ) Postol got his off Matthysse in a vacant and Indongo who beat Tverosky and Burns . Tverosky has never beaten a legitimate name and Burns got his strap from a vacant fighting a domestic level scrub and hasn’t beaten a decent name in probably 5-7 years

That’s not impressive or a good list

Bud is a great fighter with a lack lustre resume just he was at the right place right time with the right connections

But he shouldn’t be mentioned for fighters having top notch resumes

This is kind of my thing with TC. I said earlier that he had a good resume but I did struggle a bit. Haha. It's really not that impressive and he's number 2 p4p according to the Ring. It's hard to see why he's put over Loma imo. I mean, obviously Bud has been a level above all of his comp but when the comp isn't that great, it's like, well, what do we really know? I'm hoping after Horn, he gets somebody real at 147. I know they want to let him and Spence marinate, but why not have them collide in the fall? It would answer so many questions about both. Besides Spence beat a broken down Brook and well, he doesn't exactly have the best resume either.

Agree Bud gets a pass strictly on the eye test and because he’s associated with Arum who has this Svengali like power to influence the greatness of his fighters to the public & media with great match making

Like I said Bud looks like the real deal he’s a bad mother f.ucker and seems like a top P4P talent but his resume is borderline sh.it

His run at 140 is sh.it

And what’s left Burns ( who hadn’t beaten a name in years and should have lost to Beltran the fight before , Beltran who is always just a fringe contender and only got his strap because it was the WBO ( which Arum seems to controll) was vacant and probably shouldn’t have even been given the decision against the African. And Gamboa who was inactive and severely undersized especially when you consider how much weight Crawford was able to gain after the weigh ins

Crawford resume isn’t very impressive

Sh.it in all honesty Danny Garcia had a better resume then Crawford by the time he fought Zab Judah when he was 24/25

Right on. It's all been about the eye test but I'm ready to see him in with somebody for real. 50/50 fights for Bud!

No doubt

But he’s with Arum so he probably won’t be in any 50/50 fights anytime soon they rarely operate like that

If Bud beats down Horn like we all expect what in-house WW fighter can TR offer Bud that will be a decent fight ?

I guess we’ll wait and see


the exception is Loma who should get major props for the Russell win and props if/when he beats Linares

But him beating Walters & Rigo are great wins on paper it was more of the usual TR Svengali magic great name fighters on the downside coming off long layoffs

Sounds like a lot of excuses to me.

If you clean out two divisions your resume is atleast solid.

True but I do feel Lome is genuinely daring to be great. He's moving up and going after Linares and I'm not sure Bob wants him to. Still, he's showing that a fighter can make things happen if he pushes for it, at least sometimes, in boxing. His resume will look solid on paper after this one, assuming he wins of course.

How are facts excuses, you think that 140 run was impressive , it’s not even decent in all honesty

Is anything I said not the truth he beat 2 current or former champs 1 guy was a internet hype job with 1 decent win off a Matthysse who struggled against John Molina and barely
Survived Ruslan before the Postol fight and Indongo who proved to world he’s at best a c+ fighter

140 was absolute sh.it when Bud slid in there , all the decent names had already left. It was the weakest division at the time when Crawford fought there

Don’t think for a second that TR didn’t know what they were doing it wasn’t a coincidence

They did the same thing with Loma when he bounced out of 126 to 130 which was garbage because eventually fans would have wanted to see him fight the top guys at 126 Leo,Mares , Frampton , Valdez ( I’m not saying he loses to any of them ) but TR moved Loma into a sh.it division so he could dominate a weak division and raise his profile as a elite fighter without really being tested against prime elite fighters

I’m not saying Crawford’s isn’t a f.ucking thug he’s legit but he’s on the P4P because of the eye test( which seems to matter more nowadays) not resume because even with all the straps and accolades compared to almost any other elite fighter he’s resume isn’t great

For sure Loma wants to be great and me being critical of him doesn’t diminish the fact he’s a A-class P4P thug

he wanted a strap and fight the best his first fight , took on Salido in his 2nd fight and Russell in his 3rd that’s f.ucking crazy even with his amateur pedigree

I’m nitpicking and I’m a fan of the guy but you can’t deny for the amount of fights he’s had his resume is wicked and he’s a special fighter

Absolutely man. He's one guy we don't have to worry about cherry-picking.

[Idunnoshet]

The Gamboa and Postol wins since he didn't seem to struggle with either. I thought those were quality. Admittedly, the Indongo win looked a lot better before Indongo's last fight.

Gamboa looked like a midget in that fight and was Still touching up Crawford . Postol ... OMG . Bud fought too cautious and was borderline running . Boring fight .
