what if Crawford is a hypejob?

Dominating very weak weight divisions.

 

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. If he was to retire tommorow, people would look back, at his resume, and say he underachieved.

 

He needs to start getting big fights, Mikey, Spence, Porter and Danny Garcia.
Anything else and the fans will be disappointed.

 

It's a real possibility. The jury is still out on Crawford, as far as I am concerned. He got clipped by Gamboa and Gamboa was damaged goods by the time Crawford fought him. I see Crawford getting KO'd if he steps in with Spence.

 

Tha

I got him stopping him in 10 in a very entertaining brawl.

 

No way
Crawford the goods

 

I think people need to realize the difference between a "hypejob" and "overrated". A hypejob is someone like Jeff Lacy who beat no one of note and gets rated to high heavens purely because he knocked a bunch of people out.

I don't see someone who's moved up 3 weight classes and is a unified champion in multiple divisions as a hypejob. He's past that stage now where he can be considered that EVEN if he goes on to lose to someone like Spence or Thurman. Was he overrated if he does go on to lose, maybe.

I often see this term used against fighters who really don't deserve to be called hypejobs once they lose and it always triggers me a little bit.

 

mistake. was trying to correct my earlier post. pls delete.

 

We shall see. If youre wrong are you man enough to admit it and give him his due and say hes legit at 147?

 

Bump. Let's hear you justify this.

 

You're comparing Crawfor and Ward to...Calvin Brock?

 

nothing wrong with Brock, but he obviously wasn't as good as Ward or Crawford. too bad an eye injury ended his career. actually, lucky he had a career to fall back on and didn't need to permanently injure himself.

 

Very good fighter and p4p top 3, but his greatness will be defined on how he does at 147 and beyond.

 

This is the truth. Crawford hasn't really fought anyone. When a fighter moves up in weight, he'd better carry his power with him, or have a shut down defense. If Crawford fights a guy who can hit and box, he's in for a tough night.
