    All I hear and read is golovkin isn't p4p because his hasn't fought any elite fighter and the division is weak and this record is poor but alot people are saying Crawfords p4p and he beats everyone he hasn't fought an elite fighter and light welter is a waste land and the only fight he seems to want is a shot Pacquiao and even now golovkin record is much better the Crawford hype is still unreal it double standard

    Because Crawford is moving up to his THIRD weight class looking for competition.

    I know right, Crawfish has been fighting smaller men, now lets see how he fares in the upper weight classes against people his size.

    Postol is overrated. He Scraped by in a close decision against Hank Lundy prior to the Crawford fight. That tells yuh all you need to know right there. Arguably his best win is against Gamboa.

    Him moving up in weight is also not that impressive. He cuts a lot of weight to make 140. him fighting at 135 was a joke.

    Crawford is just a better boxer then GGG and we all know this, that's the main reason why. Crawford is just more skilled and has Heart. Cause he could easy stay at that weight instead of moving up to a dangerous stacked division like today's Welterweights. Cause he already been moving up.

    Hes not that big of a guy LOL some fans here think Crawford is huge the way they talk. I get this strange feeling that people think Crawford is 5 ft 11 or something , he is really a small man, He just seems taller.

    Crawford is only 5 ft 8 70in reach Manny Pacquiao is 5 ft 7 and they say hes small but Crawford only got 1in on Pac. Keith Thurman is 5 ft 7 to he just looks heavy for some reason he always looks thick to me for being so small. Probably walks around at 160 to 165 thats why.
    I guess im used to looking at Mayweather who looks light and is always in shape cause hes a Jim rat never looks fat like Kieth Heavy well that tells you a lot about Keith, OH well.

    But we are just waiting for GGG to move up and just test himself. We no hes limited but sometimes Heart can kill a Lion, even with its bare hands.

    Crawford has beaten more quality opponents than GGG, GGG in my opinion lost to Daniel jacobs by 3 rounds 116-113 while Crawford has beaten gamboa, postal ricky burns and Julius Indongo, GGG is good deserves to be top 10 but alot of people on this site thinks p4p #1 but he hasn't beaten the competition to prove that he deserves to be above loma and Crawford

    And he had trouble with a fighter that shouldn't have been at the weight he was a lazy featherweight And he got a vacant title fight against a poor opponent at light welter
