No need to read it again. I got it first time. I don't think that's what the case is at all though, because I'm also someone who hates a follower of opinions and have never been one myself, yet I disagree with you and the minority of 1 in this case. I don't need that lesson at all, I'm someone who will always air my own view, but I don't just go against the grain for the sake of trying to be controversial, which from what I can see, you do. That is doing the opposite of what the opinion followers do, which is just as bad in my opinion. It's clear you don't like Crawford, and are probably letting it rule your head, the difference is that I also don't like him, but can use common sense to see he is an absolute certainty for top 3 p4p right now, never mind 10. Call him a weight bully all you like but he's at the weight at weigh in and his weight doesn't win the fights for him anyway. You only need to watch the guy to see he's a world class talent. Come on man, Deontay Wilder isn't even in the same category (neither are the other two you mentioned but Wilder is the most ridiculous). That's putting aside the other argument that could be had about him actually starting at below light welterweight, where he unified, stopping off to do that on his way up to what you would call his natural weight
6 and especially 8 and 9 shouldn't be there. At least the other 7 guys are among the somewhat clear top 8. Missing Srisaket is a pretty huge deal, though. He's arguably still #1, haha.
Especially when he has Usyk as number 1 to try and give himself maximum bragging rights should he do the impossible.
It's not just the weight my friend, you have to factor that in alongside the standard of opposition he has faced. I don't doubt he is very talented, but he has it all to prove. He had no business fighting in those lower weights. None. The man walks around at 175lbs for goodness sake. That's like Adonis Stevenson starving himself down to light welterweight and then on fight night re hydrating back up to light heavy to batter those little men. The only credit and acclamation one should receive for such a feat is p4p weight management. When and if Crawford cleans out the welterweight division where he faces other men his own size and be they the best, then I will not hesitate to give credit when credit is rightly due. As for Wilder his power is unmatched, it is simply legendary. It's something we haven't seen since the days of Tyson. Frightening one punch killer knockout power where he causes his opponents to seize up on the ground deserves the utmost praise as that is what we watch boxing for and then there is the entertainment value in his fights, there is no question he belongs on the list. Many will argue that the opposition has left a lot to be desired and I would partly agree, however then why isnt the same judgement applied to Crawford who's resume is just as paper thin?
When Crawford is a weight bully who has fought noone, but Wilder is legendary that's when you know you're a joker. We aren't gonna agree and I've already made my point, we may aswell leave it there
Over 5,072 fellow posters believe and have faith in my words so you're wrong on that account. I don't hate Crawford, I simply reserve judgement until he actually does something worthy of the acclamation that has been prematurely bestowed upon him Once he proves himself against elite opposition and cleans out the welterweight division,I will be the first to give praise.

I don't mind that, I think you're right, he has done well. What is freaking me out though is Froch sounds sensible
