    Let's settle it. Are Golovkin and Crawford the same, just different weight classes?

    Let's analyze this.

    GGG was HEAVILY hyped by HBO.
    Crawford was HEAVILY hyped by ESPN and HBO.


    GGG once said he'd fight anyone from 154 to 168. Then didn't do it.
    Crawford said he could fight at 140 right now or go up to 154. Hasn't done it.


    GGG's fans said Carnelo - actually everyone in the division was ducking him. Until G fought Jacobs and barely sc****d a win.
    Crawford's fans said that Spence - actually everyone in the division - was ducking him. Until Crawford fought Kavaliauskas and got two-pieced, wobbled and dropped.


    G got called out by Charlo, Saunders, Eubank, Ward and a whole host of others that would be considered threats. Never fought any of them.
    Crawford has been called out by Danny 'Swift', Shawn Porter, Keef Thurman, etc. all of which would be considered threats. Never fought any of them.


    G's fans say that it's because G was ducked "in his prime" and now he's "old" - despite the fact that G has not lost since losing to Carnelo.
    Crawford's fans say it's that Crawford is being ducked "in his prime" and he's getting "old" - despite the fact that Crawford has not lost.


    People try to call out G's low level of opposition. His fans say "because he's being DUCKED doe!"

    NSB. For the first time in a long time...you are finally consistent.

    I don't think Golovkin = Crawford. At least Golovkin DID fight top opponents.

    I don't think Crawford = Golovkin. Crawford never claimed "Mexican Style" only to get walked down

    I think Crawford May still have a chance to redeem himself, Bob Arum has to pass but nevertheless

        Broner is a four-division champion. Your point?

          Huge difference..Crawford literally won every title belt at 140

            Golovkin won damn near every belt at 160.

            Again, your point?

              These “let’s settle it once and for all” type threads remind me of movies like “Friday The 13th part 4: The Final Chapter”
              It’s like shut up, no it isn’t. Your obsessed BS fan base is going to pump out a sequel the next day.

                You compared him to Broner and that was what I was replying to

                my reply to the GGG comparison is Crawford is a 3 division champion and GGG refused to ever move up

                  So what? His resume is pure trash. I'd take Broner resume over his. At least Broner tried. Crawford is a overhyped fighter and doesnt deserve to be top 5 P4P. His best win might be a undersized Gamboa.

                  The eye test doe. Fook the eye test. Guy talks big but fight nobody to the level he is supposed to. He will be forgotten like the rest of the bum slayers in history.
