    Crawford unified vs C class opponents, guys that would never be champion in any other weightclass. He still unified the division and beat Jeff Horn, nobody rated Jeff Horn, when Pacman fought him he was crucified for taking that fight.. and after the blatant robbery vs the old Pacman now Crawford gets crowned as the Welterweight King for beating that "bum".. Not for me.

    Crawford has good skills but he needs to fight the top dogs finally. Not somebody like Benavidez. This guy is whack, he doesnt even love the sport and has beaten nobody. Let him fight Kavaliauskas, the guy is with Top Rank and then hopefully he can face one of the top guys at the weight, have a unification. Yes, then he will get credit.
    Don't bother replying to that ****** I put him on ignore. Once he said Indongo is highly skilled I knew he was a dip****.

        Crawford's resume is ****. In all this time he's only beaten two good fighters in Postal and Gamboa. And we all know that Gamboa was never a Lightweight. But he's American so will get a pass by all the hypocrites. Compare what they say about Crawford to Golovkin. Golovkin has the much better resume but he's always being smeared on here. Crawford, who clearly has an inferior resume, is talked about like a god. Had Crawford been a non American, all of those same posters would be ripping his resume apart.

          Come on man, Crawford's resume at 147 is secure. Look who he beat
          You can break this crack addiction, I have faith in you.

            Crawford tried to fight Pacquiao, Arum even confirmed this and that Pacquiao refused to fight Crawford, and that's why he was robbed when he fought Jeff Horn and I don't feel sorry for him.
            If people don't want to fight him he can't make them.

            Crawford was supposed to beat Pacquiao and get the belt, not Horn, but Arum robbed him for refusing to fight his other fighter(despite what you say about Arum, he typically makes his fighters fight each other)

              Let's be honest here for a second, everyone has a "title" nowadays. He beat a bunch of B level fighters to get where he is.

              147 is loaded with guys he will never fight. They'll blame it on networks and promoters I'm sure. He's gonna have to hope someone ends up his mandatory or better yet he could do what GGG did and get himself a mandatory spot against Thurman or Spence or whomever is holding the belts after the Haymon side fights each other

                A fight against Benavidez is not a good look for TC. That fight seems to benefit Benavidez and his promoter even if he takes a loss.

                The Horn fight at least made some logical sense even if you don't think much of Horn

                  Pacquiao didn't deserve to be robbed for turning down a fight with no real reward for him. You can't name anyone else besides an old Pacquiao that turned down a fight with Crawford at welterweight. Crawford tried to cherry pick an old star instead of trying to fight the top welterweights lol... not surprised since it fits his career goal of minimal risk.

                    I don't consider Jose Benavidez a bum. He's a bum because he struggled with Herrera? Danny Garcia struggled with Herrera, probably would if they fought tomorrow. Is he a bum?

                      Put him in with Loma and manny since they are the best top rank has around his weight class.
