    Do you know anything about boxing? He just can't move up and fight Spence or Thurman because they are with Haymon and he's with top Rank they don;t do business with one another and they fight on different networks.

    It's why boxing is in the shape it's in. Because it's full of and run by stubborn, out of touch dinosaurs.

    The sport is in DIRE need of some new blood.

    Crawford talks a big game but never actually seeks out tough fights.

    Postol beat Lucas Matthysse which was seen as a huge upset when it happened and he was seen as the best guy at 140. Postol was seen as a guy that Crawford would avoid yet after Crawford beat him he's been dropped to bum status, funny how that works.

    He's sought out tough fights he just can't fight everyone because the key players at 147 are with a rival promotion. Why do you act as if that's not a factor? Are you going to blame Pac for not fighting Spence at 147 since he's with Top rank and Spence is with Haymon? Of course not the fight can't be made.

    Postol was schooling Lucas before he hurt his eye and the Postol caused the damage to Lucas' eye with a punch. That fight wasn't close stop it.

    Gambia was undefeated and considered a very good fighter with nice skills and blazing handspeed. Pistol was the best opponent in the division. Beltran is another good fighter. Give the man his earned credit.

    Stop peddling this lie. Gaymon was willing to feed Garcia and Broner to Pacquiao, but Garcia and Broner both ducked him. And then there was Lomachenko-Oompa Loompa.

    Crawford's record has a lot of solid wins but only 1-2 stand out ones-Postol and possibly Gamboa. He either needs someone to emerge as a strong opponent like Indongo is starting to or possibly someone to move up like Garcia. If not he'll have to move up to find a top level opponent.

    I do think Diaz is a good opponent. Not sure if Diaz can pull the upset but he's a good fighter. He's not rated in the top 10 at 140 but ESPN and Transnational both have him number 10 at 147. If Crawford beats him that would give him 2 strong wins and possibly a third depending on how you view the Gamboa win.

    I do agree though in that Crawford's has gotten a bit of a pass when you view his high pfp rankings and HBO dates compared to who he's actually fighting.
