Comments Thread For: Crawford: I See Myself at The Top Pound-For-Pound Fighter

As he should. I got him #2 close number 1

P4p for me is based more on resume & Crawford does not have one. So no you are not number 1. Skill wise yes top 3, but officially I'd have him ranked low p4p

Crawford must believe in Santa Claus too.

To me a boxer needs to prove he is the best at his weight, without question, before entering the PFP debate. The PFP debate is just people's opinions anyway, so I don't put too much stock in it.

Undisputed Champion, like what Crawford was at 140, is a lot bigger accomplishment than the mythical PFP champ. Now, he has work to do at welterweight.

It's not about how many fights you had, it's about who you fought, pu55y. You got hurt by Gamboa. Resigned with Arum to duck Spence. Pacquiao wouldn't even get hurt by Gamboa. Would have KO'd him easily at 135. Spence is too big and skilled for Arum's puppet.

With that weak resume??? Hmmm no sorry. He has the potential to be but the resume just isnt there

I think Spence and Crawford need each other. The argument about resumes can go back and forth all day. Neither fighter has a world class resume let's be real. Best resumes at WW division goes to Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Thurman, Porter and Amir Khan. I think Khan is Crawford's toughest opponent to date on paper. If Spence gets the fight with Shawn Porter then he would be Spence's toughest opponent to date. Some say Kell Brook would still be his toughest fight because he beat Porter but others say Brook was damaged goods after the GGG fight. But at the end of the day Crawford needs Spence more than Spence needs him IMO. 1. Spence has more options at WW: Porter, Thurman, Pac and Swift Garcia 2. Spence can go up to 154 and fight Hurd, Lara, Trout, J Rock, Lubin 3. He's coming off a successful PPV 4. Bigger fan base and can bring a crowd to the Cowboys stadium.

How are some of you casuals ranking Spence in a P4P list? For what exactly? People are getting hilarious.

[MEXfistology]

that's not the primary criteria for p4p. It's about skill, your ability to be effective across multiple weight classes, your in ring performances. It's supposed to be, if size difference wasn't a factor, who would be the best fighter in the world. If size weren't a factor, I don't see anyone that'd beat Crawford, except maybe spence. But you do sound somewhat foolish trying to diminish his wins vs 2 undefeated champions at the time he faced them just because he outclassed them.

You're saying beating top elite opponents is no the primary criteria for being p4p? Are you serious? What's good about being so skilled and having good in ring performances and fighting across multiple weight classes if you're gonna be doing it against mild opposition and c level fighters? Its impressive that he was able to outclass 2 undefeated champions but the most important thing and the reason why people are not giving Crawford the credit is because of the level of those opponents, Julius indongo only real win was against Ricky burns, who is a journeyman, nothing great there, . Victor Postol only real win was against quitter Lucas matthysse, nothing great there.. The reason why he got the wbo belt in his first fight at 147 was because of the relationship top rank has with the wbo , that was the original plan, rob manny Pacquiao of a win when he fought Jeff horn , get the belt and lose it to Crawford , think outside the box bro, don't just be a fanboy.

Crawford should say he’s the best out. He should say I’ll knock everyone’s head off. This is boxing, not chess. Anyone who disagrees has never been a fighter
