      Swift UNIFIED two orgs and made lineal in less than a year.

      Nobody comes close to that.
      So titles matter more than the fighters he beat for them? That logic dictates Antony Joshua blasted an undefeated world champion for his first belt. The reality is he beat Charles Martin

      You’re in a minority in that one

      Unified two orgs = beating Amir Khan

      Becoming lineal = beating Matthysse

      They’re not bad wins, but come on, Amir Khan?

        Crawford gets washed just like Garcia did. Especially since Crawford's defense is crap compared to Swift.

        Garcia had some close fights at 140. As far as the Porter fight? I was there, Porter won! Comparing Garcia to Bud is foolhardy. There are levels in this game. Crawford easily beats Danny and would beat Spence as well!

          PRIME Amir Khan.

          I'm saying, we need to keep it real.

          At welterweight, Keef, Shawn and Errol have PRIME top wins on the resume.

          Danny Swift at 140 beat PRIME Khan. You're trying to rewrite history, but the fact is, Khan was man back then.

          Nothing I just wrote is anything but fact.


          So how I can look a guy in Crawford who is NOT beating prime opposition and believe he's anywhere close to even Danny? He hasn't shown me that he's close or better because he refuses (per Arum) to fight prime guys. So I can't know if he's legit or not.

          What I do know is that a C-level (per BoMac) dropped him. Doesn't give me confidence that Spence won't do worse.

            That's about as true as it gets

            People are so caught up in how good Crawford looks but hes doing it against corpses.

            He passes the eye test but how about he passes some actual tests in the ring.

            Until then Spence and pac have better resumes and are better wws

              Although I do think Crawford is the best WW, I have to agree that Spence and Keith have the better resumes.

              So until he fights top comp, he really can’t claim he’s the best. Especially when his rivals are taking bigger fights.

              I do think he beats Spence tho.
              Let’s hope we see that one.

              Crawford should stop begging PAC for a fight and just fight Spence. If he beat Spence his stock goes up dramatically, and legitimately.

                Cleaned him.

                After a major car crash and a 400+ day layoff.

                WITHOUT a strength & conditioning coach.
