Comments Thread For: Ward: What More Does Crawford Have to Do to Be P4P Number 1?

[skinnystev]

he's got to KO red balls ( put him in a coma) that would make him number one i my book

[Boxing Goat]

Golovkin didn't beat Canelo. He doesn't hold a win over him.

He really beat him and was P4P #1 beforehand anyways......cut the BS.

[True That]

He is arguably not even the top guy at 147. How about he establishes that and we'll talk?

Jeff Horn has a BETTER resume than lil g & they put lil g in there! Jeff beat Manny up & he beat Randall Bailey. lil g lost to Jacobs & Nelo!

I think that's the tip of the iceberg there. You're blocked. I just can't be reading posts and people this ******.

Peace.

beat Thurman

Ward, “He should be the guy that fought the best competition and has beaten the best competition over an extended period of time.“

Looking at both Lomo’s & Crawford’s key opponents, who https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/i...parator.gifhad the stronger competition Ward?


Lomo’s (3 division champion)

Best Wins:
Linares
Russell
Walters
Rigondeaux


Crawford’s (3 division champion)

Best Wins:
Gamboa
Postol
Molina Jr.
Horn

Based on Ward’s own criteria, my pick is Lomo....

Beltran was a better win than Molina. So was Diaz and so was Indongo because he held the WBA/IBF titles and was unbeaten. Burns was also a better win.

I do agree the top of Loma's resume is better though. Those 4 wins trump Bud's but people have tended to underrate the Postol and Gamboa wins. He was a 2-1 underdog against Gamboa.

He needs to actually fight active p4p quality opponents... something he has yet to do. I give GGG and Lomachencko **** for their lacking resumes while being hyped as top p4p fighters but they finally fought a few recently. Crawford has fought only Gamboa who was inactive, blown up, on the downside of his career, and at a huge size disadvantage. Gamboa still buzzed him too . Fighting the top guys at welterweight like Porter, Danny Garcia, Thurman, and Spence will show if Crawford actually belongs at the top p4p. Beating bum Horn is like Danny Garcia beating Rod Salka but Salka having a gifted belt at the time.

[Outworn]

Crookford need to beat Spence or Thurman.

[Letmaku]

Horn is not a real champ. Not even close to Broner or Linarez. Mikey is #1, Loma #2, Crawford is #3. Maybe Bud hit Spence balls to be #1

Took 11 years to figure this out? hah!

Seriously, how about Crawford beats Spence or even Thurman. He looks great I agree but until he beats either of these there will always be questions about his comp. Same as Golovkin, even though I think he did beat both Jacobs & Canelo pretty clearly. 8-4 or 7-5 if being generous.

1 - Loma
2 - Crawford
3 - Golovkin

Top 2 deserve higher marks simply 'cause they've moved up even though Golovkin has maintained his dominance for longer & never even been wobbled let alone knocked down. You know I could always argue that contenders/champs weren't willing to get in the ring against GGG when was younger, but we still can only grade on what actually has happened, not on the what if's.
