    Worthy as in... he showed up to fight, tried hard, looked good. I'm aware he isn't a top notch victory.

    Some people thought he wouldn't even be competitive eand that somehow being a 30-1 underdog was some kind of easy notch on the belt. Far from it

    What did last night mean? Spence, Porter or Thurman are more likely to meet Crawford because he did not look that good.

    That is the point though. For debate.

    If someone asks you who the three best boxers in the world are and you don't have 3 minutes to explain 17 divisions and go one by one listing.

    Crawford often loses a few rounds early and then adjusts and goes to work, similar to how he did with gamboa.

    Are you serious? I feel like you're looking at this through an unreasonably negative lense

    Are you high? Both looked great until the KO. And I like Linares but the KO wasn't lucky, he was tired and fading. A bodyshot was exactly the right thing to finish him.

    Linares has defensive flaws and durability issues both with his chin and his skin but offensively he is brilliant and a stylist who is lovely to watch.

    Loma is loma

    Loma vs Linares easily had the best combination of style and most skill with still an appreciable amount of violence out of all the fights this year.
    A purist's dream.

    I've rated him #1 p4p for some time now, but this fight proved nothing. Golvokin got **** on for his weak resume, fighting someone like Benavidez or his level wouldn't prove anything, it doesn't for Crawford either.

    don't waste your time on him. he's biased towards all fighters he dislikes... if its a AJ,ward or Crawford fight don't believe anything he says.

    Whats so good about Briedis? He's one of the most overrated fighters on here.

    Who did he beat apart from a shot to bits Marco Huck? He looked no better than Lawrence Okole when he fought Mike Perez and a 5 foot journeyman made him look poor again last time out.
    A win over Briedis is worth about the same as a win over Jerff Horn , but Buds win is better because he moved up to dominate and stop Horn.

    Besides that , Usyk has a single better win against Gassiev and will have another one after he beats Bellew so based on that his resumes he has a equal if not better than Crawfords.
