Crawford's lineal titles were VACANT when he won them (Postol and Beltran).
You get more credit for BEATING the man than you do when you're told you're the man because nobody else is.
Danny Swift dealt with tougher competition at 140 than Crawford had to.
Second, Spence beat FOUR Top 5 welterweights.
Danny Swift has always been Top 5 since his fight with Keef. He declined only AFTER Spence washed him for 8 rounds, fresh off a major car wreck.
Brook was Top 5 when Spence stopped him ON HIS OWN TURF AND TERMS and took the IBF. Crawford refused to fight Horn in Australia and had to fake a hand injury to delay the fight and throw off Horn's camp.
Mikey Garcia was Top 5 (shouldn't have been, but he was and even now is #2 on WBC as I reported a week or so ago) when Spence pitched a shutout.
Shawn Porter is always Top 5. Spence got the W.
You can even do Top 10 and Algieri, Peterson and Ocampo were on the list when Spence stopped them. Ocampo is right back in the Top 10.
It's like some of you just look for strawman arguments and refuse to accept the facts in front of you because YOU don't like them.
Facts don't care about your feelings.
