Crawford earned shot PacMan on his resume more so than Ovachenko

Vasyl Lomachenko may be the GOAT at ametur, but is vastly overrated as a pro with a carefully constructed path that's already blemished. This is a guy who brought Rigo up two divisions but refused to do the same vs. Crawford, and we damn well know why. He absolutely did not earn a title shot that early in his pro career, and carefully cherry picked a 12-loss minor champ who still schooled him on professional boxing & roughhouse tactics. A win wouldn't have been special anyway considering he had 6 other pro fights at WSB, and teenage Japanese regularly pick up titles with those pro numbers, without a 400 amateur win streak. All these Lomachenko records are smoke and mirrors, facts bent the right way, victories overrated and a win vs. shot Pac around the weight his team balked at fighting Crawford would be the cherry pick on the top.

Bud earned his shots from day one, no hype, was the opponent in his first title shot which he won, and yes, there were tune-ups, cause that's where you gain the kind of experience "I'll just dominate pros" Lomachenko was badly missing vs. that 12-loss guy. Don't confuse arrogance with bravery, there was nothing brave about fighting a 10-1 underdog Salido, we just pointed out that his swarming pro style will upset Loma's amateur boxing.

Let's face it: Lomachenko is a bigger international name, but for all the bad reasons. A fight vs. Pac at 144ish then running back to 135 would make absolutely no sense to the packed WW division, Bud vs. Pac could set up BIG things at WW however for 2019. Crawford is a legit a 147 titleholder, and if you think he isn't cause Pac beat Horn last year, all the more reasons Pac should settle the score with Bud on "his" title. One way or another, Pac's going out on his shield, which he should after he benefited from facing shot De La Hoya, and boxing, and 147 lbs in particular would benefit more if he did that vs. a legit 147 champ.

 

No BS, that's right.

 

u been brain washed bro, I tell da truz

 

Crawford beat more reigning or former world champs than Lomachenko has fights, and among those fights, did you count 12-loss Salido as a resume win you cheeky son of a gun?

 

So how come the entire aura of Lomachenko is built around how early he picked up his belts, never mind the FACT he has 6 pro fights not counted? How's Salido with a secondary belt any more solid than Horn? How does a Salido win over Loma counts for Loma's resume?
