    Is it that time of the month for you? Do you need some chocolate? You are extremely emotional. Didn't know that pointing out your struggles with comprehension was such a trigger......lol. Now you want me to leave you alone.... Well, god knows I don't want to be considered a "bully"... I'll let you have your space......lol.

    Clenelo's resume whilst undoubtedly very good and much better than Crawford's is overrated and has many asterisks on it.

    Those asterisks being all the robbery wins, the PEDs, the cherrypicking and ducking etc.

    But then when it comes to Crawford's resume it's just extremely weak in terms of actual quality and is full of featherfists and average punchers at best with barely any legit bangers and KO artists on there, especially ones his size

    And then you have to also factor in size and how he's very often been the much or bigger man, rarely smaller or significantly smaller and extremely rarely if ever at all much or way smaller and how he's fought 40 of his 41 fights in his home country on a deck stacked in his favour with every foreign world champion he's fought having to fight him in his country and bring their belts to his country sans Burns and he's about to have his 41st fight in his country with yet another reigning champion fighting him in his country

    Clenelo, Madrimov, Horn, Postol, Indongo and in three of those instances Crawford was the challenger and beltless and his foreign opponents were the reigning champs

    Granted, Clenelo fighting in the US is like someone fighting in their 2nd home but I wouldn't be totally surprised if Clenelo were to find himself on the wrong side of some home cooking or corruption for once and not only has Crawford fought weak opposition, been the bigger man often, barely fought any legit punchers but he's been doing it almost exclusively at home

    So whilst he might not have the asterisks Clenelo has on his CV and hasn't ducked anyone other than not giving the champ Madrimov who brought his belt to Crawford's country and fought him on a deck which was heavily stacked against him a rematch, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors on there and him fighting almost exclusively on a deck which has been stacked or heavily stacked in his favour

    So both their resumes are overrated in their own way by many
