Terence Crawford: Alejandro Sanabria -34-1-1- Vacant WBO NABO lightweight title Ricky Burns -36-2-1- WBO World lightweight title Thomas Dulorme -22-1-0- Vacant WBO World super lightweight title Adrian Broner: Martin Vicente Rodriguez -34-2-1- Vacant WBO World super featherweight title Antonio DeMarco -28-2-1- WBC World lightweight title Paul Malignaggi -32-4-0- WBA World welterweight title Khabib Allakhverdiev -19-1-0- Vacant WBA World super lightweight title Facts! If you think Broner is a paper champion, then Terence Crawford is a super paper champion. He has not faced nor beaten the same level of competition as Adrien despite being 2 years older. 2 of his titles were Vacant! against guys who weren't previous title holders. His 140 title was vacant! He won by knocking out Dulorme after losing the first 5 rounds. Yet people have the nerve to say Broner got a gift title lol Keith Thurman has never even won a title. He was elevated. Errol Spence has yet to fight a top 20 fighter. Amir Imam has yet to fight a top 15 fighter. But they're so great right? Keep in mind they are all the same age. Except for Crawford 28
Crawford was the true LW champion. 1 vs 2 contest. When he beats Postol the same will be true again. Crawford is a champion. Broner is a title holder.
Really? So Broner wasn't the true lightweight champion? Didn't he brutally knock out Demarco who was ranked number 1 at the time? Hell the title Crawford beat Burns for was the belt Broner was stripped of when he moved up to welterweight.
Based on what? Do you think Crawford could beat Maidana, or Porter? If not then STFU. Broner has better resume period. He would still be undefeated if he fought Crawfords resume. Crawford is much bigger than Broner, but no one says he picking on little guys. Crawford wins vacant titles, but no one calls him a paper champion. GTFO.
Burns, Dulorme are probably better than anyone Broner has beaten. Crawford did it with ease. He also beat Gamboa, who is also better than anyone Glass Chinned boy Broner has fought. Broner can win some stuff at 135 to 140, he always will be able to pick up belts, but I think he will lose to true champions.
It's a shame that this fight is unlikely to get made. Crawford would prove who is the more skilled fighter.
Delusion! Demarco was rated #1 when Burns had the WBO title. Dulorme is nothing. He has done nothing. Khabib is a former champion. And Emmanuel Taylor has better wins than Dulorme. And i would favor Molina to knock Dulorme out with his weak ass chin. Terence gave up 4-5 rounds to him, it was not easy. Neither was his win over Gamboa, he lost rounds against him too! Gamboa is a real 126. You guys are full of emotion. Never facts. "When the hate doesn't work you start telling lies"
Some thoughts Broner has been exposed and had some career hiccups but i think 140 is a good weight for him and last night was a solid victory He has some dangerous fighters around him though
Please don't compare bum Broner to a legit fighter like Crawford. What's next? Anthony Dirrell compared to Joe Calzaghe atsch
It's the division he has the best claim in, certainly, but whether he was ever number 1 (him or de marco) depends on which ranking body you look at. Crawford was a consensus number 1 after beating Burns then that guy who broke Burns jaw. No that's not true at all.
