    It’s true that he does lack level of opposition but you better not line up your excuses once he beat an elite opponent. Spence, Porter, Thurman etc.

    He also has underrated opponents better that their lack of popularity says. Benavidez and Kava.
    he wont ever fight one of them guys...

      Crawford is not a fighter that inflicts a lot of damage during a fight to ruin a fighter.

      His level of opposition has been subpar.

        Just like Rosado who beat Jacobs? You’ll never know which one of those will age well

            Maybe. He’s stopping most of them. Look at how Wilder reacted to getting beat down in an embarrassing fashion.

            Imagine being a fighter with a huge ego, think you’re hot**** and then some guy bullies you around the ring beating the sht outta you. Gotta be a hit. Pacquiao probably only recovered from his losses because it was never a trashing.

            Although I’ll say it’s mainly weak opposition.

              i wont, but i see crawford getting a pacquiao shot, beating him at 42 years, acting like hes beaten a prime version and retiring with that pay day. i dont see him ever fighting a world class prime opponent, tbh he doesnt need to because most the posters on here have him as some all time great talent cause he looks great blasting out a bunch of no hopers. everyone talked about spence the same way, how great he looked in the eye test, until he fought a half decent fighter (porter) and then suddenly he looked very ordinary and won a split decision.

                I don’t support him taking on a Pacquiao shot too. I only support it if he fights and beats Spence since it would be for all the marbles and it’s a deserving Pac payday

                  He actually makes adjust in his fights unlike GGG ever did

                    Combination of both. When he fought Postol, few knew knew how good he really was and Postol was considered a serious threat. After that it was pretty clear he was top 3 in the division and in the P4P discussion. He hasn't fought a legit threat since. My favorite fighter and he's sitting out his prime. Kinda' sucks ass.

                      Indongo in particular was good before he fought Crawford, I don't care what anybody says. He went to the home town of legit world champions back to back and won emphatically both times to become unified champ. Winning a decision on Burns' home patch in particular is kind of impressive given how badly they screwed Beltran there.

                      It's not like he's dropping these Ls to bad fighters even now. There's no disgrace in losing to Regis Prograis, and this Yeleussinov guy who just beat him is supposed to be the business as well even though I confess that I've never heard of him until now.
