Crawford p4p number 1

Crawford is ugly and sucks

But if 50 year old Floyd toyed with the ginger midget it's possible Crawfish will also...even Khan had success.

 

Yes if he beats Canelo he's pfp#1.

It's a tall task not only due to Canelos power durability, experience, but his paid off judges as well and Crawford is 38. If Bud beats Canelo he has to dominate him

Don't let these people sway you. There are several people here who legitimately think Inoue beating bum Tank is a better pfp win. This is how delusional boxing forum 24 is and im not even a fan

 

Probably the best warrior the sport has ever seen.

 

Huge Effort to go up in weight this much and if He is succesful definitely P4P Even if he loses for stepping up is an incredible effort and He will be in the list of ATGs I think.!!!

 

Before reading the responses in this thread, I want to point out I totally agree with you on all points. It's not the most popular opinion, as you pointed out, but it's the most logical.

Crawford has been the 1st or the 1st in a long time, to do a lot of the things that everyone is shooting to do today in the sport and yet every Man Fan disguised as a Boxing Fan will find a million reasons to discredit his accomplishments, but give ultimate kudos to another fighter who eventually does the same and/or is trying to.

His victory over Julius Indongo in 2017 crowned him as the 1st Undisputed in over a decade. Then we saw every elite fighter shooting for the same status. Crawford then aims at doing it in a 2nd division and does it vs a man he's been calling out for 5 years (Errol Spence Jr.). After the accomplishment he's met with ever excuse as to why Crawford seemed to do it easily. As soon as the dust settled we saw 3 other fighters go and reach the same milestone (Inoue, Usyk, & now Canelo). Crawford is making great accomplishments become the norm.

I'm excited to see this fight in September for the sake of seeing IQ being displayed at it's finest for both fighters. People are quick to question Crawford's power because he came from a smaller division, but I'm one who understands that quickness beats speed and timing is power. Crawford has showcased himself to be a master at those. On top of that he is strong as an ox. We've seen Canelo struggle with fighters who refused to stand in front of him. Even this last fight, Scull literally put on his skates out the gate and Canelo could never gain control of the action like he wanted. He got the win off the fact Scull forgot that he has gloves on as well and he should use them. If we look at Crawford's fights, there isn't a style that we've seen that kept him from gaining control of the action eventually. Even his last fight vs Madrimov in which people are trying their hardest to suggest it was closer than what it was, Crawford had to deal with the awkwardness of Madrimov's feints, but we saw Crawford still get to the point that Madrimov's face was getting dismantled when he eventually attempted to exchange.

Crawford beating Canelo easily puts him as the #1 p4p and an argument for being one of the greatest to lace them up.

 

Agreed, but I doubt he wins. Too big of a jump, he arguably lost of Madrimov.

 

Canelo struggled with a couple fighters smaller than Crawford. It's logical to suggest that Crawford has an chance and/or will beat Canelo who is as flat foot as they come and shown himself to be uncomfortable dealing with slick styled fighters.

I highly doubt Canelo is going to be on vacation in the ring in September vs Crawford. But we can always swing back to this conversation the Sunday after the fight.

 

Canelo is shot, but going up to 168 is too much. The Canelo who fought Saunders would kill Bud

 

Still waiting on the breakdown how what exactly Madrimov did to "arguably" beat Crawford from any of you Madrimov supporters.

Never seen a man get so much love for "pump faking" for 6 rounds......lol. A man who never had any control of the action throughout the entire fight, but he arguably beat Crawford?..........Please enlighten me on what I'm missing.

 

Exactly.

And people are already putting in place the excuse to use when he gets his hand raised. "Canelo is shot".........okay...... Yet, they give Floyd ultimate praise for beating Sugar Shane & Oscar. Give Canelo ultimate praise for beating Kovalev. Gave Tank Davis a holiday for beating a one legged Gamboa......

Crawford doesn't get the love for beating champions while they are undefeated. They say the fighter wasn't much of a challenge in the first place. Then when he beats an experienced fighter, they were a shell of themselves. He called for the Spence fight for half a decade. Every excuse came as to why the fight couldn't be made. After Spence's car accident and surgery all the way up to the weigh in, his supports claimed Spence was super human..... 48 hours later, some fake report from a supposed doctor who never met Spence claim he had all these issues that kept him from being great.
