    How can ESPN call Crawford #1 P4P and at the same time....

    ESPN said “the best fighter in the world is still looking for that mark key opponent.” Even my girlfriend who doesn’t really watch boxing looked at me and asked how the best fighter in the world is still looking for a good opponent? Crawford is not #1 pound for pound, and I don’t see a case for him to be above Canelo. You can even argue that Teofimo could even go above Crawford on the list at this point.

    The worst part is ESPN gave #1 p4p not because they ever actually thought he was the best or because he fought someone worth a damn, but because their crown ***el Lomachenko lost. They never would have ranked Bud over Loma otherwise.

      ESPN and TR are in business. They hyped him try-out the whole card like the p4p best boxer in the world.

      He has not fought not even one top guy. His best win at WW is Horn, his next best win is Gamboa at 135.

      No matter how good you look you get measure by your opponents. This is not a horse and pony show

        Crawford is an overhyped cherrypicker who just beat a damaged goods Kell Brook, as everyone was expecting

            I think most would agree Viktor Postol is his best win overall. If I remember correctly him and Postol were ranked #1 and #2 at the time.

              Postol had momentum coming into that fight. He had a few good wins and also positioned himself after the loss for another title shot.

              Unfortunately for Postol he didn't win any significant bouts except for the Mattysse fight.

                  People just conveniently forget Postol Win like he didn’t just arguably beat Ramirez a couple months back...

                    It is hard to look good against Postol. The fight was scored appropriately. Close win for Ramirez.

                    I like Postol but he brings no special effects.
