    GGG is in an actually tougher division, has a very good resume. It could be better but it is not through lack of trying, rather it has been due to the fear he has put through the hearts of his potential opponents who have done everything possible to steer clear away from him for as a long as possible.

    All three of Postol, Gamboa and Indongo are pure garbage. Indongo is a d level fighter, Postol coming off one decent win and Gamboa a 5'5 midget weighing 140lbs up against a 160lbs re hydrated Crawford, never stood a chance

    Martinez was champion who was in the prime years of his career, still young and fresh, when he fought Burns who was the underdog at the time. And he didn't learn how to box in the back of some fields.

    Lastly a troll, doesn't get over 2 thousand worth of likes for posts.

    I had no idea that boxing was so popular among Black African farmers. I imagine that they have hired help or many wives to tend the farms while they get in shape for boxing and sparring-right?

    Don't be so facetious.

    The first time Indongo ever felt and put on a pair of boxing gloves was in 2001. Before that he was learning how to box in his village back in Namibia.

    Or do you think they had people like Brandon Rios and Vargas fly out o the remote village to help spare with him?

    I honestly thought that referring to him as a farmer from a village who fought against and sparred with mostly farmers was a joke. So I tried to go along with what I thought was a joke. Was not trying to offend. If I did I apologize.

    Simply watch Indongo attempt to fight....................he was way off balance, had windmill punches, extremely wide punches, he was a disgrace to boxing. He looked as if he had never had a boxing lesson. Indongo was there to lose to the house fighter..............that's just a fact...............

    It's also a fact he beat Troya and Burns back to back to establish himself a unified title holder and number 2 in the division.

    No need for any apologies; for It is indeed a joke. Sadly however it is one based on reality.

    This man learned how to fight without gloves in a remote village on a field somewhere, sparring with farmers and tribesmen.

    Then to make it an even bigger joke, Crawford jumps in the air and celebrates as if he had just conquered an ATG.

    You coud well of had just plucked a third world beggar off the streets of one the deprived regions in the world and their chances would have been just as good as Indongo's against Crawford, which is NONE!

    The celebration is probably because he's the only active boxer to unify all the belts.

    naw there aint !! making up more lies. Everyone up here knows that Burns has been finished for a few year now. His problem is that all the fighters that he has been beaten off are all complete unknowns to any half casual fan up here. No-one up here would think that Burns is anywhere near p4p lists!

    I don't think the Indongo win makes Crawford P4P, he already was. It's also the manner of his wins, he's unified the division without really being tested. Not because he has fought bad quality opposition (although he hasn't fought elite quality opposition) but because he is that much better than the rest.

    His resume is garbage. Danny Garcia cleaned out the 140 division with a far superior resume and no one was even calling him p4p on here before he moved up to 147lbs and eventually got exposed.

    This post is terrible. Boxing is a sport that has always welcomed and helped lift the disadvantaged out of poor living conditions. Class has never dictated the skill of the fighter. Africa has produced HOF caliber fighters from Dick Tiger to Azumah Nelson to Ike Quartey. Indongo stepped on the world scene and beat two world champions without trouble.

    We get it, you have an issue with Crawford, but attack the man on merit, not classist/racist preconceptions.
