Crawford has got one of the worst resumes for the holder of P4P no.1 status.

I agree.. for instance .. the inactivity of TCs opposition.. it is atrocious .. after Khan had been flattened by Canelo in 2016 he had only fought twice up until facing Crawford in 2019.. 2 fights FFS.. Spence had fought once in nearly 3 years.. Porter? ONE bum fight in two years.. Brook? ONE bum fight in 2 years.. there's no way you can compare this guy to the likes of Hearns, Duran, Floyd or Pacquiao.. for some reason Crawford is the flavor of the month at the minute but when you dig down into the substance of his resume it's poor

 

Inoue was blowing through divisions.

 

What American in history that low has been that great?

 

Also he probably starts camp at about 180 pounds so has never even faced any real size deficits either.. smoke & mirrors imo .. hes doing the opposite of what I'd class as p4p.. but then again the masses are generally quite gullible & stupid..

 

Crawford looked to be about 165 on fight night against Spence. He was clearly the bigger man as he was bulky and just yolked out. Spence was drained.

 

He ranks up there for sure although I would say Shane Mosley had the worst resume out of any fighter who become P4P number 1. But Mosley was 35-0 and beat ODLH who was P4P number 4 ? I still don't think he should've been P4P number 1 though especially over RJJ.

 

Well if we're talking strictly boxing there's hall of fame boxers Johnny Tapia, Mark "2 Sharp" Johnson, and Michael Carbajal among others, but if we're talking combat sports in general there's the goat MMA fighter Demetrius "Mighty Mouse" Johnson. The UFC almost refused and absolutely hated the fact that he was the best fighter in the sport, some 5'5 Flyweight, Dana White tried everything he could to make him lose, he already broke the number of defenses ever in the UFC so he mysteriously got robbed vs Cejudo(a guy he KO'd before), got refused a rematch and was sold off to another promotion for Ben Askren which is the equivalent of dog **** for gold. Americans just don't like midgets, there isn't even a division below 125(flyweight) in the UFC, Inoue would be forced to fight featherweights from the beginning of his career.

 

Mosley wasnt #1..pretty sure it was Roy after the DLH/Tito Debacle.

 

Love Crawford but damn So True.

 

Nah, it was Mosley for a little bit due to the controversial nature of the DLH/Trinidad fight and Mosley jumping from 135 beat DLH clearly then Trinidad got it back when he beat Vargas and Joppy, then when Trinidad lost to Hopkins it was Roy Jones again.

 

Makes sense, timeline must've been off. Mosley did look amazing, RING were calling Shane the next Ray Robinson in one issue. He was cleaning out welter....then Forrest came to play haha

 

Great fighters but number 1? Cmon. And I don’t watch mma like that to even care. I’m super casual in that sport.

 

Crawford has always been among the highest talented. But resume is just lacking.
