    His fight last night was nothing new . He was good at 135 and 140 like I said before weak divisions. He's all "smoke and mirrors"there is nothing special a him apart from the fact that he unified a weak division . Errol Spence may not be all great but spence has faced tougher opposition than crawford has . Spence is more battle tested more proven .bigger stronger . Im not saying spence is special because he isn't. In fact I think both crawford and spence are overated. But out of the two spence is more battle tested. And bud is all smoke and mirrors. Crawford fanboys want to see something in crawford as if he is another Andre ward or Floyd Mayweather. Well he isn't he's just a guy who dominated a weak division with a shitty resume ok . And in case you say "what has spence done " I'm not a spence fan so quit it .out of the two I expect Errol "The Blasphemy " spence to stop terrance "bum " crawford. Crawford is 31 years old and has a shitty resume . however I do hope crawford can prove me wrong. I wish him nothing but the best . If crawford can beat Spence I'll swallow my words . I expect him to make me eat my words .

    What has Spence done to say that he is more proven?
    Crawford is clearly way ahead.

    You crawford fanboys have to see that skills only take you so far and sometimes physical attributes are just to much. Only true "different breeds " can overcome these physical attributes Floyd and ward are some examples but remember skills only take you so far.

    The most famous p4p list, the most recognized, put Crawford in the top positions. Many see him as an exceptionnal fighter and I see it in him. Crawford combine skill and athletism like few others.

    Why does Lomachenko get a pass for not fighting all the PBC 126-135 guys but Crawford gets hate for not fighting them? They are both on the same promotion and both guys have to fight who they can.
    I don't see Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Carl Frampton, Lee Selby, Kiko Martinez, Mikey Garcia , Robert Easter lining up to fight Loma, who is he gonna fight next too? Who? Al controls all those belts that Vasyl never got but you wanna crucify Crawford like he is the only one.
    It's this kind of picking and choosing that makes people troll here because you guys are not setting anything by a standard. Its all emotional depending on if you "like" a guy or not, have some sort of fair play for once.
    It's not like Manny Pacquiao is going over to Haymon to clear it out either, he left for protection. Al Haymon is a rest haven for hoe ass fighters too scared to fight anymore.

    Outside of Clenelo and arguably Garcia, who has a strong resume in boxing right now?

    For starters -- smoke and mirrors? I don't get it? WTF?

    Look, brother, there is plenty I get wrong in life, matter of fact almost everything, but I'm telling you -- and im 100% correct -- Crawford is THE goods, as in a generational talent. Resume whatever, if you can't see he is special, stop following and watching boxinguyen. Take that to the ****ing bank, bet the farm on it or whatever. Just know the guy is (besides Paul Pierce) THE other TRUTH.

    Al Haymon was supposed to be a legend and kill PPV. He was supposed to bring boxing back to major networks. And he did. But we get 1 fight per year and besides Shawn Porter nobody else actually fights the top guys.

    Spence said his resume is better than Crawford. He brought up Algieri as proof. Lol, Algieri was a 1 hit wonder against the most crude champ in the world. He was tossed around the ring like a little girl by a 900 year old (in ring age) dwarf named Pacquiao.

    Then Spence brought up Brook. Who was taking him to school, but ended up breaking down halfway through because Golovkin permanently damaged him.

    Al Haymon is ****ing up boxing.

    No **** that. The passes are given and you are definitely one who makes concessions for one man while ignoring them for the other. You are clearly on a agenda to criticize a man that you don't care for and I do that also but I do admit when he has been squeezed out by the powers that be. Just like Gennady Golovkin was when he was on his bum quest before he fought welterweight Kell Brook to validate himself.

    Crawford is being frozen out. He can't get anybody above Postol level to fight him. Al doesnt care, hes doing it on purpose.

    Crawford does have a little bully mentality though. He doesnt press for KOs and only goes for the kill when he knows the opponent has nothing left for him. Like how he waited until Benavidez was desperate in the final round to really thump him. Hes a conservative puncher. But still effective. That's my only real critique of him.

    Loma has had better fortune getting the top guys in the ring. Like Rigo, GRJ and Linares, but hes yet to get the main man in the ring, Garcia. And he probably wont until years because greedy shitbird Bob Arum.
