Why is Crawford not held to the same standard as other 'P4P' fighters?

Crawford gets a pass

I don’t buy it. He’s average at best. Of course you can look good beating bums.

He was WBO champ at 135 bro, putting a fancy word in front of it doesn't impress me. Adrien Broner is a legitimate 4 division champ.

It's a good achievement for sure, what I'm saying is, a whole bunch of fighters would have the same record as him with the same opponents he's faced. He hasn't beaten any top fighters.

Broner’s not legit because 2 of them were vacant title against guys not in the Top 10.

I might be mistaken at 135. Crawford only held one belt at 135?

I don’t think all that many could do that’s he’s done to be honest.

I totally agree he needs to improve his resume quickly and it’s not a great resume by any means. But, I don’t think it’s terrible either. I think it’s quite good. But yes in his 30’s now he needs the elite guys on there.

Like the Spence’s, Porters, Garcia’s etc

Canelo has beaten top level fighters man, there's no comparison

All the names on his resume are just names. There's no substance behind it. Beating up washed up cotto and washed up kov while robbing ggg isn't all that great.

Those who've been on here for long enough will know I've always been critical of Crawford, I've never seen him as a P4P type of fighter, simply because he has never proven himself against top level guys.

I'm not denying that Crawford is a skilled fighter, but how much longer is he going to get 'eye test points' instead of actually proving himself against real top dogs, like previous and current P4P fighters have?

There are multiple guys with less than 20 fights who have better resumes and have accomplished more than Crawford, yet they get little recognition.

This 'nobody wants to fight him' narrative is boring and only casuals run with that BS, like when it was happening with Golovkin who was constantly shat on. Fighters will fight ANYONE if you put up the money and that's facts. So lets stop blaming other fighters and start looking and Crawford and his team for simply not attempting to get big fights for him.

He is promoted by Bob Arum so the media seems to give him a pass. Otherwise they will lose access to Top Rank fighters.

Also Arum is good at muddying the waters and using smoke and mirrors. These past few months he has been dropping names like Pacquiao and Porter...when the entire time he knew damn well that Crawford's next opponent was going to be Kell Brook.

People fall for it every time. Even after all these years.

Why are people saying crawford-thurman is a weak fight?

Crawford: Frustrating Not To Face PBC Fighters, Nothing I Can Do

[b00g13man]

The last two years of his career have been extremely disappointing, and I see no end in sight. Can't knock anything he's done up until winning a 147 title though.

Why are people saying crawford-thurman is a weak fight?

It's not, it's just that Thurman might never be 100% again. I think it would be a great fight.

[kidbazooka]

I have no clue how the heck Crawford got in the top 10 p4p dude hasn’t done ****ttt to be there

[JakeTheBoxer]

Crawford is just in house protected guy, like Gervonta and other American "stars".
