    How great of an accomplishment was Crawford being undisputed?

    How much credit does Crawford deserve for becoming the undisputed champion at 140? On one hand, only a handful of fighters in the entire history of the sport have held all 4 major belts at once. On the other hand, Crawford did it in a fairly weak division.

    trying to actually make the fights in this era is tough in itself, very tough, actually a big barrier to collecting belts

      He got lucky Indongo Won because the other 2 champs would have been nightmares to make especially Burns

        Elite accomplishment, not sure how anyone can try to downplay how hard it is to pull that off.

          Given his resume, not very but I do think he’s very talented.

            Not really he was just passing by a weak AF division but he took Pascals 0, that’s about it. He wanted Pac to meet him at 140 yet he himself was rehydrating to 154.

              As a great an accomplishment as it was for Hopkins and Tszyu.

                Not much. How good is/was Indongo? TC was in the right place at the right time. Beating a paper champ makes you a paper champ.

                  I feel the same about Usyk.

                  I think you have to give them the benefit of doubt but that's where it ends. Like with Usyk and the size deal, I give undisputed CW Uysk the benefit of doubt the size advantage thing will be neutralized by his skills. That doesn't mean I think he's better than Fury just that Fury will use more than size to beat him.
