Why do so many people conveniently gloss over Crawford's win against Porter? That ain't right.

    It was a damn fine win and it answered a lot of questions as to how he does against a top quality opponent that was mentally tough.

    But all I keep hearing is that he's overrated, but people act like he didn't win the Porter fight by stoppage.

    Porter fell short every single time he stepped up with (maybe) the exception of Danny, who wasn't a step up. So Crawford fought a guy who was 0-3 against higher comp.

    Lost to Thurman, Brook, Spence, and Crawford. Dropped by Broner.

    And Porter has already decided the he was going to retire heading into the Crawford fight.

    It was an ok win but not good enough for ESPN to have Crawford above Usyk in the PFP rankings.

    THAT ain’t right

    ESPN nowadays:pipi

    Yeah, but if the fight never happened, people would say that Crawford didn't fight Porter and how Porter would have beat him because styles make fights. And to Porter's credit, he gave every guy he faced a tough fight. Not a soft touch at all.

    Nah, I've just wondered. There's no way this is your first account, I'd bet any amount of money on that.

    Not everyone.

    Brook and Ugas both washed him. Easily.

    Edit:

    Forgot about Ugas, who washed Porter.

    So Porter is 0-4 against guys with a pulse.

    I’ve been a ‘lurker’ as they call it for years on here but never an account. Have an account on Sherdog though if my posting style looks familiar. :thumbsup:

    Porter was a part time commentator

    Those weren't easy wins for those guys. Porter was the type of fighter that A level guys had to bring their best. He wasn't a pretty fighter, he was rough but tough.

    Crawford did exactly what he should have done against the retiring Porter. He got well paid for it, he doesn’t need any iceing on top!
    Wish he would get on with it, he hasn’t excelled at welter, the division is dormant!
    Never mind Errol Knievel, bring on Ennis!
