      Or it shows how much Crawford destroyed a very good fighter the fight before that enabled Prograis to KO him one round sooner in his very next fight.

        This is a terrible case of losing context with history. It is completely unfair to judge either fighter only on what they did against Crawford and afterwards. Instead, you should remember where they were when they fought Crawford,

        Both were undefeated and coming off huge wins against top competition. They didn't lose to Crawford because they are not top tier fighters. They lost because Crawford is elite.

              It's hard to truly gauge Indongo. He looked so awkward and bad against Crawford and Prograis that it's possible he wasn't very good.

              The Troyonovsky win was an early one shot KO and fair and square but it's possible if it doesn't land he gets drowned in that one. Burns already had a lot of miles on the odometer and no power.

              IMO he deserves credit as a big win though because no matter what Indongo was a part unified undefeated champion that had nothing but dominant victories. Hard to hype it too much and hard to really talk it down. I think Feliz Diaz is/was a MUCH better fighter for what it's worth.

                Exposes as what? Spence is a naturally bigger guy. Exposed is probably the worst Boxing fan term along with casual.

                I think Crawford boxes circles around Spence though. Won't change my mind that Spence is a bad boy.

                  Postol .. everybody said he would duck and was scared. Made it easy work.

                  then it's Gamboa.

                  Indongo.

                  and Diaz.

                    diaz is a better win than indongo imo, not just had an olympic gold medal but beat vazquez who was unbeaten at that time and many think he beat peterson aswell. i thik many won't rate it because he is a small dude with little power

                      Indongo was very awkward rather than very good, I think. His technique is sloppy as hell, but his unorthodox style and length meant that by the numbers fighters like Troyanovsky or Burns struggled. It's not so much that Indongo is good, rather that it takes a good fighter to be able to adapt well to his awkward gangly style... if that makes sense?

                      Either way, the point has been made before, it's not so much that Bud's opposition is that good, rather it's the manner in which he's dealt with them. I'm unashamedly an eye test guy more than a resume one and Crawford passes with honours.
