    As you can see, some of these fights took place in basements and school gyms against complete novices. While we're meant to believe Indongo was a live credible foe who was going to be Crawford's toughest test, simply because he took out an old dog on it's last legs?

    Indongo discovered last night that American boxing is at a entirely different level to the farmers he was used to fighting back in his village.

    How many legitimate two division champions are there in boxing today? As in twice beaten the best man in the division they fought in.

    I'm struggling to think of any tbh.

    Canelo beat Trout and Cotto so he could count I guess.

    Garcia and Loma maybe?

    The list is tiny.

    Sounds like you're describing some of Golovkin's career.

    He's P4P top 5 right now after that win. It should be self explanatory, many reasons why. If you don't think he is, then you are the one who is out of touch.

    Jacobs, Lemieux, Geale, Brook and Canelo are far from what I'd call novices.

    Indongo was fed to Burns to make him look good, yet the cherry pick went wrong. Now Crawford does what Ricky was meant to do to him, he is now top p4p?

    If Ricky had beaten Indongo the same way Crawford did last night, would you have him top 5 p4p? He has just as much reasons as Crawford.

    What difference does it make? He was a legitimate belt holder in the same division as Crawford. Just because Indongo was not up to the smell test does not diminish Crawford in the least. Cream rises to the top and Crawford demonstrated that last night. He put the man in the exact spot he belongs in. Your argument might hold water if Crawford struggled with Indongo. The ease of which Crawford dispatched another world champion belt holder was simply amazing. Nobody can do it like Crawdaddy!!!LOL

    Now I see you are not worth responding to. Just trying to get a rise out of people. Cool.

    Crawford was in the P4P conversation long before the Indongo fight! Where have you been?

    I really don't. You'd be surprised at the amount of falsehoods that have been levelled my way, mistaking me for someone else who has put forward some moronic argument/point.

    You can't respond because you have no retort to a simple question that puts you in a corner with your back against the wall.

    Ricky is a three weight champion,(something which Crawford is yet to accomplish) yet I wouldn't dare call him p4p because he got his belts by beating bums.

    When we break things down slowly, piece by piece we begin to see beyond the smoke and mirrors

    More like the mind set and the hypocrisy of the haters of both fighters.
