    It’s still true to be honest. What has Crawford done other than weight bully his whole career then beat a good but past his best Canelo?

    For many years I have said that Crawford is the best fighter from the USA of this generation.
    I just think that the Canelo win is overrated and doesn't warrant making him P4P number 1.
    I do find it hilarious that a lot of the PBC Spence fan boys who trashed Crawford for years are now anointing him the P4P king.

    Imagine becoming the only four-weight undisputed fighter in the history of boxing, and people still claim you aren't a Hall of Famer. What a sport.

    What relevance is it to be a ‘four weight’ anything if you’re literally always bigger than your opponents by every metric. He’s been huge for all the weights he fought in, and even looked bigger than Canelo in the ring. It’s not the same as someone like Usyk who actually beats bigger opponents.

    Nah. He would probably beat Cotto and Trinidad and El Feroz, though.

    You only need to read/hear the opinion of his peers. They all rave about his abilities.

    Only by moving up a few pounds each time against champs that were hardly elite.

    Loma was never a big puncher but dominated most of his opposition landing more punches than most fighters do.
