    Why they have Crawford P4P?

    I just dont get it. I mean f#ck the eye test. Resume speaks for themselves. I am no fan of Canelo, but how is he not considered
    P4P #1 right now? Wether you had him losing the GGG fight or not he has 2 wins over him and he has the best resume beside Pacquiao.


    Crawford is for sure top 5 but why is he #1?

    His best win is Postol. He doesn't even deserve to be top 10 p4p really.

    His best win is equal to Josh Taylor's best win...

      Let's see....hmmm....three division champion, one of which he completely unified, and then on top of all that, the eye ball test speaks for itself.

      Canelo is top five for sure, but he aint number 1.

          crawford is not pound for pound. Dudes best win was against postol. I hope khan's chin holds up (it won't) cause he will out box him

            Here is the thing. When making a P4P list, I don't feel any obligation to accept decisions that were incompetent or corrupt.

            Canelo had two incredibly close fights with GGG, and most had him losing the first.

            So unless you think GGG was P4P #1, then it is hard to see how going 1-1 against GGG is enough to make Canelo the top dog.

            Canelo has also benefited from other decisions which probably should have gone against him.

            That's why a lot of people don't have him on top of their P4P lists. P4P comes down to who you think would win in the hypothetical scenario that weight become irrelevant. There is nothing within that which suggests that anyone has to accept corrupt or incompetent decisions.

              Crawford is for sure top 5 but why is he #1?
              He doesn't, the first fight was officially a draw.

              Anyway loads of fighters have better resume's than Crawford. What about Sor Rungvisai? He had 3 wins back to back of Chocolatito x2 and Estrada. Which fighter in the world boxing had 3 wins like that in a row? - Even one of them wins is better than anything Crawford has ever done, nevermind 3 in a row.


              Crawford cleaned out a division full of bums, that's all. Not saying he isn't a good fighter but lets see it proven in the ring against a top fighter. Plenty of fighters have looked great fighting B and C level fighters then fallen short at the top. How do we know Crawford won't?

                Doesn't matter, this mythical lb for lb bull**** needs to die anyways, one of the worst things about boxing. Who gives a **** ass whether somebody thinks Inoue is a better lb for lb fighter than Usyk?? This **** is irrelevant, why can't boxing just focus on how good guys are that may actually fight each other. Let's talk about Crawford compared to Thurman, Spence and Pacquiao. Let's talk about Loma compared to Commey, Mikey and Campbell. These fantasy lb for lb lists don't mean **** and we need to stop talking about them

                  Every publication has Lomachenko #1. RING, TBRB, BWAA, ESPN, Boxing News. The only place I can find with Crawford #1 is Boxing Scene, but that list is just one man's opinion. crold1, when are you moving Lomachenko to #1 on your list?
