    As great a boxer Bud is and he is top tier I have him p4p #1. His resume sucks plums, his elite prime wins can be counted on less than 1 finger. Burns away is a good win but he should have lost to Beltran, Postol is a good win and Beltran was a good underrated win mainly because I thought he'd lose and that's it.

    Crawford is a great fighter but came 10 years too late. If he had been in his prime around 2010, he would have had a chance to stake his claim as an ATG

    He rests on his laurels way too much.

    Even if we were to go back in time do you really believe Floyd would actually fight Terence then & there lol if Errol & Haymon took that long to finally face their fate by delaying the fight you just know that the Captain of Avoidance of any prime fighters in Floyd would take it further than unimaginable while sprinkling in some PED accusations along the way for the fun of it hahahaha.

    Man, you look at any really great fighter like Robinson or Leonard and not only have all their opponents retired after being faced, but a lot of those guys were so past it they even died.

    I mean teeth all smashed out in a car crash. detached retina. Weight drained.

    I don't rate the Spence that Crawford beat. Spence should have gone to 154 years ago.

    Making 147 in your early 20's and having no bodyfat is one thing but then in your 30's, 10 years later and looking like a zombie,

    Meanwhile Crawfish went up what 3 times? He still cut massively to make 147 but only by choice meanwhile Spence was clearly cutting a lot of muscle mass to make the weight.

    Terrance Crawford enough respect. IMO and others respect enough.
    Terrance Crawford simply didn't get the fighter of the year award, because it went to a boxer who deserved it more - Naoya Inoue.

    I mean, look at how far up in weight Butterbean went. How much weight was that dude even cutting at the beginning?
