    Doesn't p4p signify the best and most skilled fighters in the world regardless of size, as in guys whose skillz pay the billz and not size? Crawford's success his whole career up to this point has had a large share of it built of size and physical advantages against EVERY opponent he has fought. So no way shoukd he be #1. Top 5? Sure, many would accept that. But not #1.

    nearly. But wasn’t. Fury hasn’t lost.
    What’s with the fury ‘nearly’ and would’ve f.etish?

    he nearly lost to wallin
    He nearly lost to wilder
    He would’ve lost to wlad in rematch
    Ustinov would have beat fury

    but he beat 3 of the above and Ustinov is absolute dung

    I happen to think Fury would have beat a prime Wlad actually, it`s just that a fighter with Wallin`s limitations couldn`t have pushed Bud, Horn was a superior welter version of the way Wallin fought Fury and Bud threw too many fast, hard counters for Jeff.

    It`s been based on his ability to switch hit and counter with sharp shots, it`s very hard to hit Bud without eating a counter hook, he might actually throw more counters than any fighter in boxing right now, certainly more than Canelo, who wasn`t getting off at all v Kov, just here and there, his defense wa great and he caught Kov, I found Bud`s last couple of fights more exciting than Canelo v Jacobs or Kov, his out-put wsn`t so great in those bouts, but his defense was too much for both men.

    im a fan of bud but he was having trouble with the Lithuanian until he got in control.

    same with fury, horrendous cut, but after 4 rounds took control

    The Lithuanian was far more skilled than Wallin, he just walked through Fury`s punches that`s not what mean machine did at all, there was far more thought to his boxing.

    yes because fury was clearly over trained and sticking with the jab and move game plan. Don’t understand why wallin is being knocked, he was landing on fury regularly despite fury being in round stealing mode because of the cut.

    wallin showed more in my opinion, Lithuanians heart broke when he realised Crawford had worked him out

    I think Mean machine is a very good fighter and at least Gamboa was super quick.

    Because Khan quit when he was on his way to being destroyed, Bud was going to stop him it was clear, he out-classed him.

    Mean machine is C level and still dropped crawford, gamboa had no business in that weight class and even rocked crawford, who was basically a middle weight on fight night, compared to gamboa who is about 5'4 in real life and a natural 126 pound fighter. To compare that to tyson furys resume is laughable. Now to be fair, lomachenkos resume isn't that strong either. I still put crawford behind lomachenko.

    Bud low blowed him right after Khan was starting to time him and land punches on him. Bud out of frustration hit him low which ended the fight. Khan didn't quit, he was using his 5 minutes to recover from a blatant low blow.
