Agreed ^^^

I agree as well. They are just matching him very carefully against safe easy opponents.

Stevenson is defo one of my favorite prospects in boxing... Look forward to his progress, He is in tough tonight. (Hope tonight he can get tested a bit by the vet)

Why are you saying Crawford has not fought a world class opponent?????? That's ridiculous. How does a boxer completely unify 140 by beating everyone there was to beat and get all 4 title belts and then knock out the WBO world welterweight champion without beating world class fighters? How can a boxer be rated the best PFP fighter in the world on many top 10 best PFP lists without beating world class fighters?

well thats my issue with it lol. i dont think hes beat any top fighters and he was fortunate he fought in very weak divisions. look at some of his opponents and what theyve done since, indongo blasted out in 2 by a prospect, diaz just lost to an absolute scrub, postol got dropped by a nobody in ukraine and then just lost to a prospect in taylor. i suppose 'technically' they are world level cause they were some of the best guys in division but when i said world class i meant like an A level fighter, someone like spence, thurman, id even class porter in that bracket, guys with good wins who look the business and would be round about the p4p listings or not far from it. i dont rate a single fighter that crawford has beat as being anything special. everything looks differnet when someone picks up a loss, if he ever fights spence and loses people are gonna look back on his record and think well why the **** was i rating him that high.

You forget to mention that Danny Garcia, you know... the guy that fought Porter to a near draw...ducked Viktor Postol. Unlike what you wrote, that's not my opinion that's a verifiable fact with step aside money to prove it. As for the Indongo getting blasted out by a prospect...you must mean Regis Prograis because he's the only other loss on Indongos record. Calling Prograis a prospect must mean that you think there is a better 140lber out there and if so, why don't you give us his name.....we'll all be waiting.

Other than that you are correct, Crawford hasn't yet fought Spence or Thurman but he keeps trying... and both just keep telling fans why they won't fight Crawford.

Annnnddddd .....right about now you're thinking of bring up Bob Arum as the ultimate reason the fight can't happen, but lets be honest... at this point we all know that's BS.

that was meant to be a big step up fight for prograis who had fought noone before that, he wasnt meant to go in there and blast indongo out. that illustrates how weak the division is, its always been the feeder division for welterweight thats why im not massively impressed that crawford unified a weak division. 4 belts doesnt mean **** when the division is crap, id be more impressed with him beating 1 elite fighter at welterweight than doing that. i dont know the ins and outs of it but i'd heavily favour garcia to beat postol

[Madison Boxing]

What if he beats spence

that would be a great win and prove he is an elite fighter.
