Some perspective for those blowing smoke up Crawford's rear and calling him P4P

You are equating Burns to Crawford if Burns would have beaten Indongo.

You are forgetting everything about their career before their fights with Indongo. But you actually aren't. You are just trolling to get a rise out of people.

I didn't need to respond. Anyone reading this agrees with me already.

 

Judging quality of opponent by venue and attendance is beyond silly.

Now I only recognize 3 names on Indongo's whole resume other than Crawford (Troya, Burns, Mabuza). So I would agree that his opposition prior to his title fights seem very soft AKA bum-like compared to the world level. But that is no different than any fighter on the world level. At one point, they weren't. It's not as though he lost any of those early fights.

 

And you would be correct if Burns had done what Crawford did to Indongo and again your argument would be legit, but you're talking from a perspective in fantasy land. Here in the real world, Indongo stopped Burns and Crawford stopped Indongo. Therefore Crawford>Indongo>Burns!

 

Subtleties of speech escape most of these guys.

 

Like I stated earlier, Crawford was considered P4P prior to the Indongo fight. So your question is irrelevant! The better question is, if Indongo had beaten Crawford and then fought Burns and lost in a fantasic manner, would Burns be considered top P4P? My answer would be yes!

 

Calling it like it is.

 

Crawford and Burns' resumes are nothing alike beyond having a lot of title fights and having faced each other. You trying to push that across is either trolling or just stupid, take your pick.

 

He's been on everybody's P4P list for a while now. It didn't come out of nowhere.

The "P4P top 10" has gotten weaker and weaker by the year for going on a decade now.

As for rummaging through a long line of bums and getting called P4P great goes, well, I would point to Golovkin as the kick-starter for that. Many and even most people have (foolishly) listed him in their top 10 since 2012/13.

 

He is pound 4 pound, In the B league.

 

For where Martinez was in his career? I think not at all. Postol, Gamboa, Indongo all better for sure.

Maybe you aren't a troll. Which would make me think less of you.
