    I've been one of Bud Crawford's biggest haters, but it's time to give the man his due. Yes, his resume is weak as hell, but there not being an elite talent/living ATG (Manny Pacquiao is shot, so he doesn't count) in and around his weight division (that is also willing to fight him) is not his fault.

    By The Numbers
    • Bud has stopped his last 2 foes, both of whom were undefeated
    • Bud will stop Benevidez, so that will be 3 undefeated guys in a row that he will have stopped by year end
    • Bud beat undefeated guys in Gamboa, Postol, and Klimov
    • Stole on Ricky Burns in his backyard
    Bud would have stopped Lomachenko at 135 and Mikey at 140. Bud is also a guy that Mikey called out and has/had no intention of fighting... EVER. Same ole sad publicity game by Mikey. Bud stops Mikey at 140/147 and Mikey knows it.

    Facts
    • Bud has shown a lethal offense (his accuracy is frightening and his punches are crispy and powerful)
    • Bud has excellent defense and is slippery as an eel
    • Bud has excellent footwork
    • Bud not only has power in both hands, but he can switch hit
    • Bud is a strong ass mofo (he outwrestled a much bigger, heavier Horn)
    • Bud enjoys hurting people and has the sociopath thing going
    • Floyd would have ducked him
    Opinion
    • Bud KOs Danny, Mikey, Porter, Pacquiao, and Thurman
    • Bud destroys Spence (Spence's size might allow him to see the final bell)

    I think Bud can win titles all the way up to 160. He's a natural cruiserweight. Bud 5 division world champ

    Despite the fact that he's a weight bully, I think his ceiling is 154. He's not built like Spence who could compete at 160.

    Terence Crawford would single handedly clear out PBCs entire 147 division.
    Mayweather over there encouraging that bull**** he started talking about Arum but that has nothing to do with anyone else but his illiterate ass.
    I wanna see everyone mix it up, I'm tired of the boxing politics. I actually would rather see the mafia run the sport again. The corruption was less apparent.

    Crawford has talent and is a good fighter, but I'm still not 100% sold on him. Also, Crawford has no power at 147, so I have a hard time seeing him stopping Garcia or Porter, who are way more durable than anyone he's fought, but he would most likely decision them. Crawford and Errol Spence is a 50/50 fight and Thurman most likely knocks Crawford out.

    Crawford also needs to step up the competition. Crawford gets a pass for fighting Horn, since Horn had a title, but Benavidez is a cherrypick. I don't like saying that, since I know both Jose Benavidez and his original trainer and Benavidez is talented, but he is also way too inexperienced to be fighting Crawford or any of the champions at 147 for his next fight.

    What do you mean he has no power at 147? He hurt Horn w/ every shot that landed and then stopped him. Horn looked like he was 10+ pounds bigger than Bud.
