    And that was a long time ago. He's fought a lot of mediocre fighters in his career. That's just a fact. It's a shame this has been his career trajectory. I think he's an excellent fighter but you are only as good as the guys you are fighting.

    Gamboa is underrated.

    Should be shouting form the rooftops for spence but he don't.

    Fighters saving cash out fights until the 'end' or if at all just isn't acceptable anymore,. Come onnnnnn...
    Not on anymore, a massive shake up is needed behind the scenes in this game.
    Along with reffing, judges decisions... surely someone up top can see this is becoming or should I say is already a farcical sport and something needs sorting?

    But going by the maloney decision last night, nobody clearly cares how farcical it gets.

    Gamboa has never accomplished anything at 135. Only won an interim title at that weight. That is Crawford's best win? lol

    No, it's Postol. Don't forget that Postol gave Josh Taylor very tough fight and clearly beat Ramirez while being well past his prime. Crawford beat the best version of Postol

    Yeah, it's his best win. Especially since Bud was losing the fight until he started hurting Gamboa.

    Meh. And Bud looked terrible in that fight dancing around all night and fighting off the back foot.

    Brook is absolutely shot. He couldn't even take a jab to the face. GTFO

    Brook was boxing well he got caught by a shot he didn't see. Crawford can punch as well.

    Crawford steps up his game when competition steps up, and he is technically and instinctively at absolute top

    Nail on the head. It's basically fraud. These guys fight mismatches for years building up hype/money as if they're the best then they have one big cash out fight at the end of the careeer.

    It's not only the promoter and fighters fault that keeps this bs going buts it's the dumbass fans who continue to fund and hype these fighters up for taking no risks and cherrypicking.

    Boxing is a joke
