    The guy who tries to save boxing by helping out unknown fighters to add to his garbage resume and who most media outlets have as p4p number 1. I call him lil g or little g or bbb side. Make a thread that’s relevant to reality.

    What about fighters like Burns, Indongo, Postol, Lundy, Molina? Which boxer helped out these fighters to add to his garbage resume?

    What's his name again?

    Playing devils advocate, I can argue that both Wilder and Joshua almost got stopped by passed prime old guys, thus minimizing their wins. So saying that G struggled against 2 in prime, hungry younger men isn't as bad to me.

    Terence Crawford has won titles in two weight classes, is going for a title in a third, unified his latest title, all four belts, is 32-0 with 23 KOs, and has beaten contenders, champs and prospects for 5 years. He has ducked no one, has beaten fighters from 5 out of the 7 continents (Africa, Europe, North America, Central America and the Islands, and South America and will be fighting a guy from Austrailia next, and has beaten two E.E's..

    One pretty good prospect (Russell) who hadn't beaten anyone.
    A loss
    An obvious fix (Walters)
    A couple of decent fringe contenders (Martinez, Sosa, Marriaga)
    A couple of journeymen
    And an small, old fighter who was dragged up two weight classes and hadn't had a real fight in 2 years.

    Now, that is impressive for the first 11 fights, but he has beaten no one better then Postol or Beltran. And he's only beaten 1/3 of the number of guys.

    Jose and Gamlier Ramirez are "high quality fights?"

    Chonlatarn Piriyapino is a "high quality fight?"

    Romulo Koasicho is a "high quality fight?"

    A 40- year old super-bantam is a "high quality fight?"

    The guy has had an open date for a month, and he won't fight a mandatory with 12 fights, Andrade or Gilberto Ramirez. He is trying to fight nobodies. It is what it is. And basically I like GGG and like watching him fight, but he's washed-up and his handlers know it.

    Correction, Lomacheko has been living in California since he turned pro, and has had 2 fights there and 4 accros the state line Nevada. So he has had 5 "road" fights. He doesn't fight in his home country for one reason, there's no money in it.

    Terence Crawford has had 32 fights and 6 in Nebraska. That makes 26 "road" fights.

    Oh, and Salido is not an American either, and he STILL LIVES in Mexico.

    lol, Walters was lovetapping him for 6 rounds, when he bothered to even pretend to throw punches, and he hasn't even bothered to get back in the ring. He made that $250,000 (minus taxes in two countries) last a loooooooooooooooooooooong time.

    I don't mind people having Loma at number 1, but for me Crawford has the better accomplishments, 2x lineal and undisputed champion.

    crawford can't be no 1 when he hasn't beat an elite fighter and unifying a weight class is easy when the champions are poor lol indongo had two titles and his just been stopped by a prospect and winning a vacant title at light welter against durlerme terrible
