Comments Thread For: "Strength Of Schedule" Is The Only Knock Against Terence Crawford

[Oregonian]

"Since the Postol fight, Crawford has faced the following opponents: John Molina Jr., Felix Diaz, Julius Indongo, Jeff Horn, Jose Benavidez Jr., Amir Khan, Egidijus Kavaliauskas. The latter four have represented his ongoing title run in the welterweight division."

That part! That is why Canelo should be seen as P4P #1 Boxer in the world!

I copied that part to so I could say the exact thing you said.
Crawford is 32 or 33 and has literally fought nobody at WW.
Porter has a better resume despite losses in great fights. Even Thurman who is considered the weakest WW has a better resume.

Floyd, despite being criticized by some had a much better resume at 32/33 than Crawford. How Crawford is ranked #1 is amusing to say the least.

When is Errol gonna stop running? He's 30 already and has been running from Bud the past 3 years. Fans have to stop providing him cover. It's admirable that he's faced Porter and Danny, but he seems unwilling to make the one fight that will put this debate to bed once and for all.

1. "but ESPN, which broadcasts Crawford’s fights, promotes him as the No. 1 fighter in the world". You don't say? You mean like when HBO fighters made up the majority of the rankings?
2. I could see the argument for Crawford being ranked #1 when he was still at 140 but since he has moved up he has not had the same impact and has not fought credible enough opponents to say he is clear P4P 1 even in his division.

Second that. And before Lopez fight, many put Crawford above Loma. Compare the resume - its mind boggling.

On point

Even Thurman who people believed to be the weaker of the bunch has fought them.

Crawfords out of excuses. Hes definitely a good fighter but a fighter is only as good as the competition he faces.. he has fought nothing but cherry's

I forgot about Keith. Who I hope comes back after things come back to normal.

I think Danny Garcia had a better run than Crawford at 140lbs. too! The "eye-test" is deceiving. Just look at Lomachenko! If we're going by the "eye-test," then Teofimo Lopez is #1, Tank is #2, and Berlanga is #3! Lol!

Crawford hasnt fought a single top ww...

That's actually very true. Danny had a damn good 140 pound run

Thurman was the one who was making excuses, saying Crawford didn't deserve a shot until he proved himself at 147. Yet he knew all the PBC guys at 147 were too scared to fight Crawford.

After awhile, several years now for Terrance, if the fighter isnt fighting the best, there's a reason. Sometimes the fighter has to show that he wants to fight the best.

Crawford has shown no particular desire, from the looks of things, to challenge himself. He picked the weakest champion at WW in Jeff Horn.

Contrast this with Porter, DSG, and Errol. Win or lose, I believe that they will fight anyone. Even Brook has shown to at least try to dare to be great.

Crawford will continue to make good money in Nebraska, but at this point in his career that looks about it.

I mean Danny and Angel literally passed on $3m + PPV to fight Granados for $1m and TC was Top 5 PFP...when Danny was begging for rematches with Keith and Shawn.

Dont see how Danny would fight anyone because hes consistently fought the Rod Salkas and whoever that guy with the teeth was...

There’s one problem with your statement.....Bud would be lucky to pull even 3 million with ppv of 50-60k against Postol and 150k against Khan. He can’t pay an opponent 3 mil with numbers like that. He’s B side against any top WW
