    We saw how he has beaten Khan, who is reputably an easy opponent because of his fragile chin, Benavidez, who is widely known to have had a deficiency in his leg in the fight, and Horn, a fighter in the division who is not really recognized as a great concerning skill and technique.
    Prove himself as what? As a welter? As an atg?
    As a welter, no he is an elite welter. He has the skills the the talent the size the athleticism.
    An atg? Definitely! You need more names if you wanna be remembered for years to come. Thurman has the best resume among them and even then it pales by a lot of levels against atg resumes.

      By beating the **** out of and stopping Horn a clearly larger fighter while receiving zero damage. Something Pac, Porter, Garcia, and most likely Thurman would clearly be incapable of doing.

        Horn is not a top welter despite being gifted a decision over the much smaller and aged Pacquiao. Your speculation about Porter, Garcia and Thurman is just that, speculation.

        If you are saying that Crawford has somehow proven himself with a win over Horn, I disagree completely.

          He (bud) has fought none of the top ww. He won't even face Brooks who i think would give him a good fight or maybe beat him. To many excuses and waiting to long to fight the top ww

            You are all right. I personally think he's getting more hype than what he has proven in the WW division because in actuality he really hasn't proven himself much there. I think he should fight Porter after the Spence fight before even trying to fight Spence man. I strongly believe Porter would work Bud well.
            Porter got a gift decision in his last fight and was out boxed what do you think he can do vs Bud.Spence has one name and it’s brook .Beating a midget who was trying to survive is no big win.
