    What prime elite boxers has Crawford beaten?

    I enjoyed watching the massacre of the albino kangaroo this past weekend. However I fail to see the bigger picture here.

    The amount of hype and assurances that Crawford is a superstar with elite boxing skills is unreal who has he actually beaten?

    A fight against spence, porter, Garcia, thurman would all be underdog fights for Crawford I can't see whats special about him.

    He's a jack of all trades master of none. He does everything good but not great.

    I feel he's in an era where he can shine due to lack of opportunities to fight big names in his respective division (before he moved to welter) the lightweight division of old featuring pac, morales, marquez, mosley etc would of all beat the piss out of him I believe.

          I liked Gamboa but the same question could be asked of him lol. I feel he could of had a lot better career than it was.

            You can only beat the guys who will fight you.

            The only undisputed champion in any division since Jermain Taylor beat Bernard Hopkins. Say what you want about the level of competition, but there have been a lot of weak divisions between 2006 and now and nobody else managed what Crawford managed.

            He unified the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, Ring, and lineal titles at junior welterweight. He unified the WBO, Ring, and lineal titles at lightweight. He's a 3 division world champ, 2 division lineal champ.

            Then he moved up again and won another belt in his first fight. Sure, Horn was the weakest champion at welterweight. But all Crawford has done is find dudes with belts and beat them. He'll end up fighting Spence before too long I would bet.

              Get ready for the backlash because the fact is he hasn’t beaten any

                  I'll applaud him for his achievement but what top ten elite opponents did he beat for those belts. Other then postol and Gamboa hardly any other opponents have any clout.

                  Crawford is 30 years old at welterweight without a career defining fight. Clocks ticking i hope he fights spence.
