He calls Loma #1 in the world though.
For me, it's damn close, but I'd agree until I see Crawford fight a top guy at 147. And, no, the Aussie wasn't a top guy.

Yeah Loma who was behind on the scores vs. Jorge Linares, dropped in that fight.

The case for Crawford being #1. was already made when he became 2x lineal and undisputed from 135-140, obviously before the Jeff Horn win at welterweight -- capturing the WBO so EASY only strengthen Crawfords case.

Theres a guy named Olek Usyk whos never been dominated, beat or ever lost to a cab driver like Salidoe that should be in the conversation for being #2. To keep it real.

Bud is going to only strengthen that case tonight when he embarrasses this chump.

Pound for pound is opinion. Some may say it's also about who you beat so far, in which case Canelo could say he is the best, although some people disputed the decision victory over GGG. Canelo can rightly argue his case on quality of opposition defeated. Crawford, Loma and Spence could say, on talent, they are no. 1 pound for pound.

When you bring up 'titles" in a P4P discussion you know the arguments is weak because yeah you can win titles beating paper champs like Idongo.

You got a ginger who beat Lara, GGG, Trout, Cotto, Mosley in his career.

You got an Ukranian midget who beat Linares, Walters, Russel jr, Rigondeaux.

Then you got Bud who beat Idongo, Gomboa, Postol and Horn and fighting this chollo idiot of Benavidez Jose next.


Undefeated is not an argument to me, therefore Marciano would be the HW GOAT.

And talking about undef guys, Mikey might have a better record than Bud too IMO 4 divisions ect...if you want to go this way.

I don't know why he had to separate #1 in America and the "earth". Lomachenko only fights in America so he's basically an American fighter with a Ukrainian background. I also don't understand why there's a debate on who's #1. Either one you pick is worthy. Crawford has done enough to be #1 in my eyes. I hold the Salido loss against Lomachenko but everything he's done since has been impressive. He lost to Salido! He would get a pass for losing to much better fighter but not to a journeyman.

Prior to the Rigo fight I have to admit I was Lomachenko ‘s biggest hater I just couldn’t see what you all saw in him . In my head there was excuses for all of his great wins from Garry Russell to Axe man. When he fought Rigo I thought we will put an end to this matador crap. This Matrix bulls#hit. He humbled my guy and made him quit so I have had no choice but to review my assessment of him. He then moved up in weight and disciplined Linares. So I am a converted fan.

I like Bud and he is extremely skilled but the opponents he beat to be undisputed were all garbage. The fighter from New Orleans (Prograis) can beat each and every one of them.

If Crawford beats someone of note at 147 then I will give him his props, Diaz,Postal and Indongo doesn’t do it for me
