to sharp focus that perspective, teddy atlas is clinically brain damaged. but crawford is no fraud. not the best out there, not even in his own division, but not a fraud.
I disagree but the beauty of boxing is that we will have answers to the questions you pose, tonight. I’ve been hard on Crawford but there is no denying his skill in the ring. He’s an elite talent abs if Porter wins tonight (I don’t think he will) hats off to him. Both are top talents but I give the edge to Crawford. After tonight, Porter will have faced all of the best guys at his weight. He just hasn’t beaten them all. No shame in that, he has another chance to beat a top guy, maybe the best guy in boxing, in Crawford. I’m excited to watch this one. Also, Porter has been in every fight and has never been dominated. If Crawford knocks him out, Crawdad’s stock will go up a couple points.
And then those same people who are saying Porter will win and will maul Crawford will then be all "Meh, Porter is too old now" in an attempt to discredit Porter.
If he stops Porter tonight he is P4P number 1 even if he is not the best Welterweight in the world which remains Erroll Spence Jr.
