What Active Fighters Have The Best Resumes?

[IronDanHamza]

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

I hear what you're saying 135 and 140 weren't the strongest divisions but it is not easy to clean a division out let alone two.

It might not be a great feat with all things considered but to deny it's a solid feat is just silly.

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.

He has to get past Horn first.
Bud not tested at 147 and Horn comes to fight and win any way possible.
It will be a good tester for Bud to start of his campaign at welter.
Horn not gonna lay down and let him have it though without a scrap.

As much as he’s been matched carefully at times, DSG’s resume is very solid.
Morales x2
Khan
Judah
Matthysse
Peterson
Guerrero
Rios.

Admittedly some of these guys were past there prime/best but still a solid list nonetheless.

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

I understand he didn't defeat a murderers row but to clean out any division doesn't rank as ****. He won all four belts and barely lost a round and took down two undefeated champions. He couldn't have done more with what was in front of him.

On top of cleaning up 135 which included going on the road to win against an experienced champion and then defending against the best guy from 130 as an underdog and rounding it off with a dominant win over Beltran is also a fair run too.

He's not defeated legends but to clean out one division and then win everything at the other and all within three years is a good accomplishment especially when it's been so dominant and skilled.

His resume on pure wins and names isn't as good as Lomachenko though I know that. Hopefully he gets a chance at 147 because the elite fighters are there.

im not really counting pacquiao so other than that i wouldnt say anyone has a resume thats really anything that amazing. lomachenkos is the best after 10 or so fights which tells you everything you need to know about the current set of fighters.

Me being critical of Bud and his resume doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of his or think he’s not the goods or wouldn’t fight anyone wthey put in front of him

Really Who cares that he cleaned out a sh.it division and got all the straps because he was with the right promoter at the right time
The names he fought at 140 in the grand scheme of things is sh.it

Let’s compare the 2 previous fighters who made good runs at 140

Bradley had the scalps of Casamayor , Peterson , Witter , Alexander , Campbell , Holt

Garcia had Moreales , Khan , Matthysse , Judah , Lamont , Holt

Now let’s look at Crawford’s 6 best names Postol, Indongo , Molina , Diaz , Dulhorme , Lundy

Notice a difference

I could care less that Bud was able to gather up all the trinkets against a list of internet hype jobs and at best fringe contenders

I put more stock in consistently fighting and beating a list that consists of future HOFers , established current or former World Champions even if some of those fighters were on the backend of their career. Because the Morales or Casamayor that Garcia / Bradley fought still beats the Molina , Dulhorme Lundys , Indongos

The thread question was what fighters have the best resume it wasn’t who had the most hollow trinkets or who passes the eye test and purely looking at Buds resume regardless of what he’s achieved he doesn’t belong on the list of active fighters with good resumes regardless if I’m a fan of his or believe he’s a top P4P fighter

And I 100% agree with you the test for Bud will be to see what he does at 147 because it’s a division infested with elite level killers in their prime

[soul_survivor]

Daily on here I see fans of one fighter downplaying anothers resume even tho the fighter they brag about has only one or two decent wins. But of all the current active fighters who really has a resume worth bragging about? Post and Discuss.

Pacquiao is still active and he has one of the greatest resumes of ALL TIME but moving beyond that, it is kinda difficult to look past Canelo. I know some of his fights have been controversial and others have not been within appropriate weight divisions but he has beaten a collection of very good fighters.

The same can be said of Amir Khan, Roman Gonzalez, Estrada, Rungvisai and Cuadras.

Beyond that, there is not a hell of a lot to talk of.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I'd go with GGG by a landslide. Nobody has such greats as Rosado, Ishida, and Wade on their resume. Why is this even a question?

[DuckAdonis]

Shout out to posters who mentioned Chocolatito

Yutaka Niida
Katsunari Takayama
Estrada
Francisco Rodriguez Jr
Akira Yaegashi
Rocky Fuentes
Edgar Sosa
Brian Viloria
McWilliams Arroyo
Carlos Cuadras
Rungvisai

Thats a good resume. The lower weights need more love

[Street15]

Best resumes:

1. Pac
2. Roman Gonzalez

.......

10. Austin Trout

Right behind them: Khan, Danny Garcia
