    How can crawford be the man to beat at welter....

    ...When hes not even beat anyone himself. Lets face it hes not this elite p4p fighter weve been led to believe. if someone like porter had fought his opposition in recent years hed be in the exact same position/record. Hes not even passing the eye test at welter, hes looked bad against two fighters outside the top 10 now (one was around 30 in the world with one functioning leg) and isnt fighting anyone whos world class and never has done in his whole career.. And ive said for years theres people from his gym who are sure hes packing glass in that chin which people on here dismissed and said i made up. Theres plenty of fighters with 0s and similar records but dont get half the credit of this guy? I just dont get it....

    His resume is garbage when it comes to who he’s actually fought

    What’s his best win? Postol? or a midget Gamboa?

    I think Crawford is very good but you can’t be P4P number 1 with those names.

      I agree with Some of the stuff you said.
      Crawfords record is trash compared to some of the PBC welterweights but I still think he beats them all.

      I've also heard rumors about his chin. Wasn't there an article on here years ago where someone said Gary Russel Jr KO'd Crawford in a street fight ?

        Skill recognizes skill. It's what the fighters think of him, not the keyboard warriors. If he was easy, Haymon would send someone over to take the belt. Bob has offered them higher guarantees than the PBC purses. Stop making excuses for the fighters. They know exactly what he is.

          There is no man to beat but I'd pick him over the rest. He did a lot better Vs Horn than PAC did, and better Vs Postol than J Taylor did. His comp hasn't been strong enough though I agree

            Problem is no one at PBC is interested in "exposing" him,
            if you want that term.
            They're all hiding behind their uncle Al in that side of the street.
            Danny is not interested, Thurman is not interested.

              It's a shame Erroll had his accident.

              Crawford vs Spence would have been a mega fight for the ages.

                TC beats them all.

                  People talk about his resume like the others have stacked resumes. Apart from Canelo, Joshua and slightly Lomachenko, I don’t see anyone in the top 10 in boxing right now with anything close to a stacked resume.

                    Crawford might be the best ww in the world. It sucks he has to fight lower tier talent but part of this is his fault.

                    He knew the politics and decided to stay with TR. It is arguable that if he wanted to fight everyone at ww then do what is necessary to position yourself to do so.

                    You can’t go to McDonalds and then complain you can’t get a whopper.
