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

    Nah, not really.

    Crawford did at least face legit opponents coming up through weight classes and winning the belts.

    At 147 Crawford has been absent and fighting nobodies but that doesn't erase what he did leading up to 147.

    To be fair to him.

      Crawford > Bumlovkin
      Dont care abt GGG. Always said he was overrated . Crawford resume is pure trash. If GGG would have avoided the top fighter at 160 he wouldnt have a loss same like Crawford. You can hype that undefeated bs aa long as you want, Crawford will be forgotten once he retires.

        Once again, it's what have you done LATELY that matters.

        And even in the past he had ONE real drawing name he beat - Yuriokis Gamboa. I'll give you Breidis Prescott, but Prescott was not a draw, his claim to fame was sleeping Khan.

        Regarding people who DRAW MONEY...Crawford has TWO wins - Gamboa and Horn and he fought Horn in the US where Horn never was a draw. Had he been brave enough to beat Horn at home like Spence beat Brook at home, it would have been a better win. But I'm not sure Crawford would have beaten Horn had it been in Brisbane, frankly.

        This is all that matters LATELY.

          Crawford has the better accomplishments.

          Better resume? They’re the same imo. And I can not stand GGG and his fans.

            But how can you say they're the same?

            Danny Jacobs alone destroys 100% of Crawford's resume.

              Are you SERIOUSLY saying...no, you can't be.

              You're saying that Danny Jacobs is "no better" than Jeff Horn?

              Sergiy Derevyanchenko is "no better" than Yuriorkis Gamboa?

              You're not saying that, right?
              Jeff Horn has a W over Manny Pacquiao. The same guy who just beat Keith Thurman for a title @ 147.

              Exactly WHO has Jacobs or Derev ever beaten?

                According to NSB, Jeff Horn didn't beat Manny. And Manny didn't beat Thurman.

                  With all the talk about belts.. Do belts obtained really count if they aren't won by stripping them from an actual fully certified champ?

                    Doesn't just stop at belts, but any recognized achievement.

                    If Horn beating Manny is not recognized, it takes away the ONLY thing Crawford has at 147.

                    But Golovkin at least did beat champions for his titles even though the champions were not the strongest or fastest. And Golovkin at least seemed to try and fight other champions. He didn't sit off in a corner and lie that nobody would fight him. Every champion except Saunders (WBO), he faced at least once.

                    Crawford has refused to fight every other welterweight champion. He won't even challenge Sebastian Formella (IBO).

                      LMAO

                      According to my right nut, the left one gets all the snatch.

                      Why not check into rehab and get yourself clean, sober and off the Heroin...
