    The eye test doe!

    As in, if you actually thought they wuz real bonafide Lion Kangz then you need your eyes tested.

    From this day forward any claims of someone passing the 'eye test' should be met with scorn and 'shut up you ******, YDKSAB'.

    Also, can we stop pretending protected American fighters of ANY era are automatically the best? Y'all got exposed, hometown decisions is all y'all are known for.

    Merry Christmas and God bless!

    I would past the eye test.

    If I fought a bunch of fat 50 year olds i would look like Mohammad Ali mixed with Sugar Ray Leonard.

    I would be 20 and 0 and perform marvelously.

    I would then call out Canelo or GGG then get knocked the *** out harder than Marquez did Manny.

      The "eye test" means nothing.

      That's why Crawford is nowhere near P4P no.1 for me. Let me know when he beats someone better than Postol first. Picking up belts in divisions against average fighters doesn't make you P4P.

      I do rate Crawford but the eye test isn't enough. Let's see proof.

        Fxxk the eye test. I believe in resumes only when it comes to judging a fighter. That being said, what's the fun in waiting till a fighter's 100% established themselves to jump on the bandwagon. It's okay to predict future greats as long as you don't go overboard with it.

        In the history of boxing, i'm not sure there's ever been a so called #1 P4P boxer with as bad a resume as Crawford.

          Crawford is the real deal. He's whooping on guys who are levels above the charlos opposition.

            Crawford fought everyone at 140 to become undisputed. All the pbc guys are admittedly ducking crawford at 147.

            But i agree with you. Why is crawford considered p4p #1 over someone like keith thurman who is rarely on p4p lists.

                I trust the eye test. I have been watching boxing forever. If I can't trust what I see with my own eyes what am I supposed to trust? Somebody else's eye test? The eye test can't tell you everything or predict the future but if you have an eye for boxing talent it can tell you a lot. I never thought the Charlo brothers were that good and I am an American fight fan. I thought they were usually carefully matched but they have some good wins.

                  that's just inactivity though. Keith was the top of lists before he got hurt I thought, no?

                    The highest I've ever seen keith was probably number 6 on espn after beating porter and garcia.

                    Crawford beats postol and is #1 gtfoh
