Who did Terrence crawford beat to be p4p number 1?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

It's one thing if he was just beating these types of fighters, but he's slaughtering them. Gamboa was still a somewhat hard out back when Crawford fought him, a more talented fighter than Crawford. That was a good win. He went on the road to beat Ricky Burns's ass in Burns's backyard. He humiliated Postol, who people were accusing him of ducking. He smacked the **** out of Beltran back when Beltran arguably got robbed and should have been a champion.

He's not just winning, he's winning impressively and doing so against top ranked fighters and champions. The combination of who he is beating and how is easily enough to discuss him as the best fighter in the world right now.

Excellent post, man.

To reasonable fans, I think you can make a case for Crawford or Loma. Let’s not forget that Crawford has moved up and cleaned out the division he moved into. But Loma should be elevated after Saturday night.

For those like the TS who has some racial issues and an agenda, Put him in with Loma so they can decide it in the ring.

That’s the only way to decide who’s p4p. Let em go at it. Guarante that Crawford beats up that hype job.

There is no TRUE P4P right now. To me it's a toss up between GGG, Crawford and Loma. The three are basically interchangeable.

I think he became top 5 after Postol. The forum was pretty split on that fight, it's easy to forget, and Crawford humiliated him.

He's beat a lot of good/solid fighters barely dropping a round. There just haven't been true elite fighters in those divisions apart from Gamboa, and in fairness Postol whooped Matthysse worse than Danny did. So whilst he might not be proper elite, hes certainly very good.

Fact is, TC and Loma are the two standout fighters in boxing, no doubt in my mind on that. Right now, you have to have Loma ahead.

LOL, let Crawford go up and show his worth against Golovkin. You crazy buddy, Lomachenko aint ever fighting Crawford, it aint a fair fight, never

Because he’s a b*tch who’s been weight bullying smaller fighters and beating up old has beens who was lucky not to get beat by Kevin ****ing Mitchell.

He’s willing to fight Pacquiao at 140, why not Crawford? Because he’ll never win and old Bobby Arum knows it

Hes no weight bully whichever way you want to swing it. Hes tiny at 135. Let me guess youll bring up Olympic weights? Where he had to fight in the weight above, the 2nd time, as his weight was discontinued

Good post. I agree.

He's done all he can do. Clean out two divisions and beat the best guys and while he's not defeated pound for pound caliber guys he's dominated in such a fashion and consistency it's hard to give him a hard time. Throw that in with his overall skill set and talent and he's a perfectly acceptable choice as #1.

It's funny people like to throw the Gamboa fight at him too. Bud was more than a 2-1 underdog and he's done what all great fighters do since that fight - improve. Loma will likely improve as a result of the Linares fight. That's what happens in this sport. Fans are expecting perfection every time and then if it's always perfect nitpick a resume and when they beat the best guys in their weight class then that fighter has to move up to where he's too small.

Don't forget Spence!
I agree, someone will break out give it another year.

It was weighing 170 sucking down to fight little guys the guy will get exposed in his natural weight
