    Better resume at 140? Taylor or Crawford?

    Was Crawford’s resume at 140 better than Taylor’s?

    Taylor has wins over Prograis and Postol.

    Crawford beat Postol when he was undefeated, but then Taylor beat Postol after about 14 fights.

    Who else did Crawford beat? Indongo? He wasn’t as good as Prograis or Postol really.

    Crawford’s resume is really weak when you consider Josh Taylor has had about 16 pro fights and already has equalled Crawford’s best win, and bettered it with a win over Prograis. What other wins has Crawford had in his career? Gamboa who was about 3 weight classes smaller.

    It’s not even like Crawford has stepped up in competition at 147 either, if anything, it’s gone down.

    I like Crawford a lot, but putting him p4p no.1 when Josh Taylor has a better resume in about 16 fights is ridiculous.

    Multiple weight world champ means nothing when your opposition for the belts is garbage, that’s why Ricky Burns is a 3 weight world champion.

      At this point, even Katie Taylor has a better resume than bum fighting Crawford.

          And why Adrien Broner is a 4 division champion.

          You ETHERED Crawford! Let's not forget, Prograis knocked out Indongo in 2 rounds.

          Crawford fans about to come in here talking about "Eye Test Doe." As if it's not easy to look good against C and B level competition. Crawford is talented, but doesn't have the resume to be #1 p4p.

          I've said it before and I'll say it again. Crawford has the weakest resume a #1 p4p fighter has ever had. In the history of boxing, no fighter who was widely considered #1 p4p ever had as weak a resume as Crawford...ever.

            Yeah you can’t go on eye test.

            So many fighters have looked great until they truly stepped up. I prefer to see proof.

                Not having Crawford in the top 10 p4p is more 'ridiculous' than having him no.1.

                I wouldn't personally have him no.1 but he's up there.

                  Undisputed doe. Eye test doe. Crawford's resume is trash for a supposed top p4p fighter. His welterweight resume is pure dog ****. Some morons claim he's number 1 at welterweight with that resume ��. I'm sure Crawford's rabid fangirls will come in crying lol. I would say Taylor's resume is more impressive at 140lbs. belts aside.
