    We are not going to fall out Serge but you know we are on different sides of the argument when it comes to my Mexican brother Canelo the red headed Mexican and your guy who we affectionately call Lil g or lower case g our views are very entrenched on this. They fought 3 times and Canelo proved Mexico trumps Kazakhstan. I scored it 3-0 to Canelo. Now I know you will say Lil g was past his best etc blah blah. I know all your arguments and you know mine so let’s park it and agree to disagree. You cannot convince me nor am I going to bother trying to convince you other than of course I am right on this and you are wrong and the record books will record that I am right.

    As for Spence my guy he is only waiting at 147 pounds to separate Crawford from his senses. Maybe now Crawford has made mincemeat out of Avenesyan in Omaha, Nebraska he will get the cojones to conclude negotiations and take the fight with EJ. EJ is moving up in weight to go and terrorise others but wants to spin the bottle and run the numbers on Crawford first. If Crawford keeps bottling he might just ruin your boy Boots Ennis.

    He needs to prove it in the ring against Erroll Spence who is more than capable of beating the living daylights out him and he knows it too.

    Crawford the type to just figure you out warming up while causing his opponent to get overconfident & make him feel as if he is actually making something happen only for it to go completely sideways ending in K.O,

    Seen this too many times in the sport & was exactly how i predicted it would be, makes it easy to foresee when where in the sport of weekly mismatches.

    Crawford will never fight Ennis, if he fights Spence this year and I believe he'd beat him if he does he's off to 154 pounds afterwards . Crawford won't be able to cope with Boots hand speed at his age.

    He could be but he never proved it by facing the elite opponents regardless of whose fault it may be.

    Can’t say that when you have guys like Usyk who gave absolutely proved himself amongst the elite of his divisions. Same for Inoue and even Errol Spence’s WW resume is superior to his.

    Spence is going to whip him if Crawford ever signs on the dotted line.

    I'm not going to fall out with you and I'm not trying to convince you he was robbed x 2 because we both know you already know that. The worst case scenario for GGG is he should be 1-1 in those 2 fights against the ''best fighter of this generation,'' losing the second one by a single point to a prime artificially enhanced Clenelo when he was well past his prime and all natural.

    There's no ambiguity regarding GGG being past his best. Clenelo, like so many of the top 160 pounders, wanted no part of a prime GGG and he was so deathly afraid of him he had a custom-made state-of-the-art electrified Kazakhstani-proof chicken coop built to hide out in until he saw the signs of ageing and decline in GGG he'd been patiently biding his time waiting for. So petrified he even handed over his belt to GGG.


    No I'm right and pretty much the entire boxing world is in agreement with me regarding those fights. You, however, belong to a tiny little group of flat-earthers.

    Errol is the Leprechaun Assassin and those whiskers of his are definitely shaky. I think he's trying to age Terry out and if anyone is in danger of being separated from their senses it's him not Terry albeit I concede both of them have suspect whiskers and have fought so very few punchers.

    Speaking of Errol

    Did you know that for some inexplicable and completely indefensible reason ESPN have him ranked #3 P4P and ranked above the P4P King Usyk? Ridiculous, eh? :facepalm:

    After that last fight, and the constant ducking from Crawford, I do not understand how people are still favoring Crawford

    Did you know Spence is in his 30s and has never moved up? He never gets criticized for it either.

    :lol: Spence is a one-weight three belt unified champion who with the exception of once or twice has fought exclusively in the US with home refs and judges and even worse he's only fought 2 career 147 pounder champions in his entire career and he struggled badly against both. Everyone else world class he's fought was a career 140 pounder or blown up 135 Mikey. He looks great bashing up leprechauns against whom his size, physicality, and power are big assets for him but he struggles badly against fellow career 147 pounder champs.

    And he's been hurt numerous times despite the fact he's barely fought any punchers at all. The simple truth is we've literally never seen him put in a dominant display against a single career 147 pounder world champion his entire career, let alone bigger ones or much bigger. But P4P doe

    Conversely, Usyk is two-weight world champion, undisputed at CW and the current three belt unified HW champ and he won and unified all his opponent's backyards, has only had one home official in all his world title fights, has been beating opponents his size, bigger or way way bigger, and he has put in dominant performances against world champions his size, bigger or way way bigger many times, all in their backyards too. In fact, he's toyed with many career world champions at the weight many times and he's never been hurt even though he's fought more punchers and KO artists than any current champ I can think of since moving up to the world level.

    I'd love to hear their reasoning for ranking Spence above him because there's no argument for it at all :facepalm:
