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

[Muz]

Very well said

He has to fight an A level opponent. One major part of p4p rankings is level of opposition. That is why Butterbean was never on p4p lists. Indongo and Horn are decent, but they are no where near elite. P4p champs fight the best. That is what Mayweather did. That is what Ward did. That is what Loma has been doing. Bud is the same size as DSG, Thurman, and Spence. And Porter is in the same division. And when Bud was at 135, Khan, Matthysse, DSG, and Peterson were all considered elite fighters at 140. Bud waited til they moved up, then unified a division void of talent. None of his opponents, in his entire pro career has been considered a top fighter, an elite fighter. If Bud ever fights elite opposition instead of picking cherries, then there is a good chance he will be considered #1 p4p.

Broner and Guerrero were both won titles in multiple divisions, without fighting any elite foe. They were ranked on p4p lists. Then they fought elite opposition. I believe Bud is much better than either of those, but no one can know for sure until he fights someone with a chance. So until Bud grows a pair, then Loma and others will remain above him p4p wise.

I agree! Crawford was hiding at lower weights fighting bums waiting for elite fighters to move up, then he moved up.

Lomachenko has better quality scalps. How is this confusing?

[daggum]

did he just say crawford was a 3 division champ in the least amount of fights...how does he have a job doing this? literally a month ago loma just did it in 20 less fights. if he read it correctly? read what??? dont you follow boxing dummy. also he's beaten the best competition hmmm well thats subjective but of course he would say that being the biased clown he is.

Have 12 fights lose tp a dude with double digits losses and have white skin. Crawford right now is P4P #1 if he had Lomo's resume he wouldn't even be in the top 40. People would say he has to show more etc...

Crawford is top dog along with Spence.

[Sweet_Science2]

all this fits lomachenko better, who should be the number 1 guy.

Lomo has an L to Salido in only 12 fights. He is not number 1 period. Garcia beats the living shyt out of him.

His wins over Canelo and Jacobs are better than anyone Crawford has beaten. Crawford has dominated two divisions and just won a title in a third.

It's close between the two, could go either way.

He has a fuucking draw with Canelo and he arguably lost to Jacobs. TWO legit fights and NOT one clear cut win. He LOOKED Horrible in that fight. Crawford looked excellent in ALL his fights.

pussie g is a hype job. Don't you ever mention that f@ggot in the top spot ever.

Jeff Horn doe

Salidoe doe


tough choice

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Crawford is good, but he’s just now fighting guys his size

And the fact he beat Horn who shouldn’t have had the title in the first place, it’s not exactly a big deal.

Stop it, only dumb ****ing believe that fight was a draw.and he out landed Jacobs in 9 of 12 rounds, tied one, and had the KD. Wasn’t that close at all.

And the Canelo fight was with another guy on the top of the p4p discussion.

As good as Crawford is, he doesn’t have that yet.

“I would probably have to say yes,” Ward, who worked the Crawford-Horn fight for ESPN+, responded to a small group of reporters when asked if Crawford is boxing’s pound-for-pound king. “I think the pound-for-pound fighter should not be the most popular. He should be the guy that fought the best competition and has beaten the best competition over an extended period of time. He’s a three-division world champion and, if I’m not mistaken, if I read it properly, he’s done it with the least amount of fights. And I think it’s like six or seven guys that are in that category. I think he’s done it in the least amount of fights.
“I mean, what more does he have to do? And he’s not running from the smoke. He’s not running from challenges. He’s asking for it. He just does it in a different kind of way. He’s not boisterous. You know, he could turn up, but he’s more or less like, ‘Man, whatever. I’m ready.’ What do you think about this guy? ‘Bring it on.’ It’s simple and plain.”
BoxingScene.com ranked Crawford at No. 1 on its most recent pound-for-pound list.
