    Crawford resume filled with B level wins

    Gamboa
    Felix Diaz
    Postol
    Horn
    Indongo
    Burns

    I wouldnt even consider those guys B+ wins...

    GGG resume

    Geale
    Macklin
    Jacobs (B+ though controversial)
    Murray
    Brook

    Many said GGG was unbeatable for a long time like they are saying with Bud.

    Those guys are DEAD WRONG. As soon as GGG stepped up to an A level boxer he got a draw and L

    As soon as Crawford steps up to an A level boxer he will lose. Spence & Thurman will beat him...

    Thurman has Ws over Garcia and Porter, top 147s

    Bud still has a lot to prove at 147 as Horn and Benavidez dont say much...

    Golovkin has fought better opponents than Crawford

    You could say Spence record prior Brook had even weaker opposition than Bud. Many people predicted Spence would lose in the step in quality against Brook (me included) but he proved his ability.

    I personally think Bud is most complete fighter at this weight and won't have a issue when he does step up the quality of opposition.

    I've said for a while that Crawford is in a similar place to where GGG was. Solid but unspectacular wins with excellent performances but also struggling to get truly meaningful fights.

    There's a difference between them though which makes Crawford less beatable although I think he isn't as good at Welter as Golovkin was/is at Middle.
    He has his nationality on his side, so he wouldn't lose a fight which the vast majority think he won, like what happened to Golovkin.
    That said, I favor Spence over him.

    Nonsense thread because of the ‘when Golovkin stepped up he got an L and a draw’ when I and the majority of boxing fans scored both fights to GGG.

    Crawfords resume is weak though.

    Poor analogy, Golovkin is unbeaten, corruption handed the PED-abusing ginger Mexican two gifts.

    That said, Crawford is overrated Top Rank trash.

    When Canelo finally thought GGG was old and slow enough for the fight and finally found the right PED's, he was outfought by GGG in the first fight and outboxed in the second fight.


    Crawford will beat both but Spence might give him some problems

    Crawford is a legitimate killer. He will pop Spence's swollen nipples.

    And GGG proved to be better than canelo over their 24 rounds, and canelo is as elite as one gets. Ggg is so under rated and got terrible decisions VS canelo.

    No one is stopping today's canelo and ggg bettered him, factually

    Crawford has made what he’s done look easy, but there aren’t many fighters in history who have breezed through 3 weight divisions and clowned every contender and world champ put in front of them. Lots of people picked Postol and Horn to beat him but in the end those fights couldn’t have been more one sided. Just total domination from start to finish.

    Crawfords the most complete fighter in the sport, when he schools Spence maybe people will finally start giving him his dues. Maybe.
