ESPN rates Bud as P4P #1 your pick?

[redmyth79]

I have listened to ESPN talk up Crawford yet he is great but he is yet to face a top 5 boxer at welterweight!! So it's extremely hard for me to give him that credit especially over Loma's great work with hardly a pro career but Canelo has a resume that be eats them all minus Manny possibly!
Canelo is a Champ in 3 different weight classes and 160-175 don't forget the 154 to but that's all leagues above the fight that you get in the lower weights as a 175lb fighter is so much different in power then a guy that has won belts at 135, 140 and 147!
But I do give Bud props! He is a great fighter I actually put him tied for 2nd with Loma with Canelo #1.
Would love to here your opinions and why?
Also a issue I have with ESPN's rating is he is a ESPN fighter so why would they not give him the nod but Loma is to so I find they put Loma's accomplishments behind his. And I can to possibly see that.
He is a great fighter but not P4P #1

And yet Bud thinks fighting a journeyman who lost to Robinson grants him PBP top but Canelo moving up 2 weight classes and knocking out a champion is anything less than this shameful Arum scam.

Hell no. Canelo is. There is no way Crawford is. Resume is way too weak

Crawford is a special fighter but he needs better fights. Also to me his chin is still a huge question mark, he’s never fought a fighter who processes heavy hands.....mean machine breaks you down and doesn’t have good power but he buzzed Crawford a couple Of times

Huge fan of Loma and Crawford here.

I think Crawford by the eye test is elite (but I know a lot of people don’t like the eye test).

He has skill, agility, heart, and ring IQ. He reminds me a bit of SRL. He NEEDS to get the big fights though to prove it, I hear ya.

Loma is great, but I think he doesn’t look as sharp at LW as he did at his old weight (130 I think?)

Lots of other great fighters and boxers out there right now.

Canelo’s obviously good, but I have an issue with the clenbuterol and lots of scores going too far in his favor, and something very odd about his fight with Kovalev. Not calling it a fix, but something senses off to me there.

My P4P right now looks like this:

1. Crawford
2. Spence
3. Alvarez
4. Lomachenko
5. Wilder
6. Inoue
7. Charlo
8. Andrade
9. Usyk
10. Lopez

Just off the top of my head anyways. It might look a little different if I consulted boxrec and refreshed my memory of who holds what belt and who’s fought whom...

For me, same as before. I think Loma and Bud are equally talented, but I give Loma a slight edge in p4p based on resume. It's pretty much a tie though.
Canelo is not on their level.

Hahahaha hell no!!

ESPN is a joke everyone knows canelo is p4p #1

You are a damn idiot if you think beating that lituaninan bum is better than beating big ass Kova lol

The hate strong with you guys

Is Mikey lying?

I can see Crawford at number one but it's debatable.
