Crawford very talented, but not P4P.

    Let Crawford step in with Spence and we'll see how special he is. Crawford was fighting at 160 in his last fight and he said he wants to fight the best so let's see it, Bud. Crawford is like Canelo in that he fights these undersized opponents. You think you are the best, step up.

    How you see a fight between Bud and Errol going?

    Bud was 158 on fight night against Diaz.

    Spence was 160+ on fight night against Fondue.

    Crawford is clearly number 2 Pound 4 Pound after Lomachenko

    Here is what I have seen with Crawford. Incredible offensive fighter but I have seen on two occasions now where he has gotten buzzed with mediocre punches. This tells me that when he steps in with someone who can fire back with authority he may be in trouble. But that is the nice thing about boxing, time will tell. None of us are soothsayers, though some would like to think they are.

    You talking like Crawford has some fear in his heart and nothing could be further from the truth. I am sure that they will get it on but first things first. Spence has to get by Brook which he most likely will. Crawford wants Pac but if he can't get Pac then he is going for Thurman. Spence also wants Thurman after the Brook fight. Thurman will be in between a rock and a hard place and I think that he will pick the hard place which will be Crawford. Now if Crawford beats Thurman then him and Spence should be a lock. Crawford is nothing like Canelo. He doesn't have the frame of Canelo but he is solid. He is not squeezing to make 140. He weighed in at 139.2 in his last fight and came in at 157. Canelo came in the Mayweather fight at 165. Out of Crawfords last ten fights,two were 5'5" and Felix came in at 161. Two were one inch shorter at 5'7", one was his height at 5'8" and the rest were taller. Most by two inches.

    Ok so who is p4p. What fighter moved up in division to fight a Spence type guy besides Ward? Let me guess you give Lomachenko, GGG passes for fighting similar opposition and consider them p4p, but Bud has to go fight Spence or Thurman LOL.

    Bud is definitely p4p. Dominate lightweight and unified champ at lightwelter. Lots of fighter put up 15-20 pounds after weighin, that's just what most modern fighters do.
    Skill wise with Lomachenko, I think he is top 2, great blend of offense and defence, high boxing iQ. Great fighter in the making I think.

    Strictly speaking p4p should take into account quality of opposition and it's not been amazing so far from bud minus Postol. He's gotta move up but damn WW division is almost too hot right now too many killers up there.

    What a garbage thread. Lomachenko should move up and fight him then?

    It was funny hearing Roy make excuses for Diaz being able to take Crawford's punches, by saying he was 161, like Crawford wasn't 158 lol

    Crawford is a pound for pound guy. He needs to fight better opposition though. He beat Postol. Then went back to fighting a scrub in Molina, and Peterson's left overs in Diaz.
