Why do people crap so much on Crawford resume? are they ******?

[ShoulderRoll]

For some reason I think they did count those...and in reality they probably should have, as GGG was the clear number 1 at MW at that time, and was more or less fighting the best available guy at MW during his run...certainly would have to say his run of defenses was quite a bit better than BHop's.

And that is kind of the point...GGG had a number of defenses at MW vs good/very good fighters even before his fights with Canelo, and never really showed any issues in any of those...that's rare for any fighter and not sure how that isn't more or less universally appreciated...usually guys have hiccups in those fights or at least show some real vulnerability (think even Crawford vs his last opponent...GGG has like 10 bodies like that on his resume with just about 0 issues).

If people want to get on GGG because some overhype(d) him, well to each his own...I don't really get the big backlash on Crawford at all...not that I really understand it on GGG either...but Crawford doesn't really have fans like GGG does, who are that vocal...the backlash against TC just seems really silly to me...dude was great at 2 weights and now is up at 147 and looks good.

Should be appreciating him (and GGG) and not so much over the top hate...my 2 cents anyway.

Nope, you can't count WBA regular title defenses when there is also a WBA super champion in the same weight class. By definition being regular champ means you aren't the WBA top dog.

Especially considering that Golovkin only picked up an interim title THEN was upgraded to "regular" champion.

He wasn't the real WBA champion until Daniel Geale beat Felix Sturm then was stripped for not fighting Golovkin right away.

crawford like ward living off the coatails of his old accomplishments. Crawford had a decent ride through 140 and his time at 147 has been garbage. He knew who Arum had available when he renewed his contract. I dont want to hear that BS its not his fault top rank dont get him fights. Now they talking they would be interested in making a porter fight and hes saying the time isnt right, hes my fren, blah blah blah. *** off with that, porter would be your best welterweight fight and like best fight ever and you saying no you rather fight one of bob arums uber drivers. Look at all the other people that had no problem fighting porter but you rather fight cab drivers. Porter and spence go back 10+ years and they still fought. Crawford is just comfortable fighting uber drivers while complaining hes ducked.

Because people have gigantic biases and if they don't like a fighter, they crap all over any record that doesn't have multiple HOFers.

Crawford needs to get in the ring with the best welterweights, it's past time, but his record is more than enough to place him among the best fighters in the world.

[DaNeutral.]

He was the man to beat at 135. He unified 140. He beat Postol and Indongo. I don't care what you think about them. They were the best available at the moment at 140 and world champions. Both #1 in the division. And he beat both with ease.

He moved up to 147 and beat Horn who had a very close dirty fight with Pacquiao. And made Khan quit.

His resume is not bad and you can only beat those who are available and willing to step in the ring with you. You can't beat Spence when Spence is not available for a fight. You can't beat Pacquiao when Pacquiao is not available for a fight.

Keep hating...

Ahhhh just ignore the fools. Crawford is America's best Boxer, He is one hell of a fighter. Id suggest having a good look at who it is that is crapping on Crawford or his resume or achievements and you will find that its the same names that fanboy for Crawfords main rival. PBC Spence. Its those same names you see saying the same crap about threats to Tank, Charlo and Wilder.

Personally i dont find it difficult to be a fan of both Spence and Crawford but those guys are so PBC that they cant be a fan of both, to like Spence is to Hate Crawford. Its their rules. Strange rules but thats how it goes with those guys.

Then why is he ducking Porter after crying about being ducked by pbc(Porter is pbcs 2nd or 3rd best ww),hes willing to overpay bums like Con but unwilling to pay near the same amount to someone who isn't a complete bum like Garcia or Porter & he obviously knows he has struggled vs bums so imagine what Porter or Garcia would do, especially Porter

He's not ducking anyone. He just fought two weeks ago, he's under no obligation to sign a fight right away.

Why don't you say Spence or Pacquiao are ducking Crawford instead? Why should Crawford fight against a non champion?

I'm just pointing out that a lot of established people/pundits/organizations were giving GGG credit for that many defenses...you can make a case either way for it really...not that big of a deal but it was a nice run he had, by any measure.

[Madison Boxing]

I genuinely cant remember the last world class fighter he fought

[KingKrypton]

Crawford's resume is solid. Some of the guys he beat are good B level fighters but none of them are elite competition. Look at Canelo's resume: Austin Trout, Mayweather, Lara, Cotto, GGG x2, Jacobs, Kovalev. Who is Crawford's best win? Gamboa? Crawford needs an A level opponent like Porter or Garcia to actually be considered P4P #1.

As a GGG fan you shouldn't ever use these kind of lines.

But you are ******, what can I expect from you...

[ShaneMosleySr]

GGG fought a world class fighter in his last fight and fought a world class fighter in 5 of his last 7 fights.

As a GGG fan you shouldn't ever use these kind of lines.
