why is Crawford's resume so bad?

    I don’t understand Crawford. He’s been a welter for two years and Jeff Horn is his biggest scalp. Lots of great options and he only seems interested in fighting easy opponents. I was once a big fan but have lost all respect for Crawford. At least until he fights a real opponent at WW.

    He's 33 and hasn't fought anyone. It's over for him to be honest.

    Ortiz or Ennis will end up being his mandatory.

    Fair enough, but they aren't established at the top yet. The other top WWs are facing off in their prime.

    If I didn't have to fight Porter or Spence to get paid I wouldn't either, but I think the boxing world has been a little over-generous with the honors for someone who isn't taking risks anymore (I respect what he did at 140, others may disagree).

    Benevidez and the last opponent weren't established. Both Ortiz and Ennis would wipe their arses with Crawford's opposition, and probably would push Crawford's **** in as well.

    Clearly a superb fighter but based on his resume, just do not see how some people can rate him #1 p4p.... you simply can't as the consistent body of work against top level fighters isn't there.

    Maybe he doesn't have the Balls to fight those real fights. He can always blame Grandpa Bob but in the end it's his resume

    Alright, you’ve got me curious now. What’s wrong with his ring attire? Do the colors clash or something?

    I wonder if maybe he’s satisfied to fight the quality of opponents he has been and just hold onto his belt, without really caring to push for bigger fights. I mean most P4P lists still have him in the Top 3, with a few having him at # 1, so perhaps he just doesn’t have the motivation to step up the level of competition.

    This really hurts his credibility, I say that as a fan. Every other one of the top claimants (Kell, Keith, Errol), and who wanted to be (Danny), had to go through Porter to stake the claim. He had the opportunity and passed and that is very damaging.

    Because he or his team are cherrypickers. They're doing this for a reason. If he was as good as they say he is he would have been fighting LEGIT opponents his own size.. But he hasn't because there's a decent chance he'd lose and I'd bet that's exactly what his team believe

    How can you respect that? Weight bullied his way to undisputed and now carefully cherrypicking

    Because he's flawed

    He can be hurt to the chin and body.

    He's very complete but not a full package like people like to believe, especially for a 147 fighter. Spence would bury him.

    Feeding on washed up Khan and shot Brook. Embarrassing.
