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

    Honestly as a life long fan of the sport I'm just sick of excuses when yojr guy loses or when you're desperate to bring a guy down a notch. We've heard em all, roids, runs too much, holds too much, squishy ring, poisoned water, a side meth, heavy ring entrance robe, too young too old, weight bully, weight drained, needles make me lose, etc. it goes on and on and I can't be bothered with any heresy as a fan at this point, that's what helps kill the sport. It sucks that a guy just can't have outclassed his peer. What if Spence was shook by the moment, he may have not slept the night before , this fight was a big deal for both their legacies. One guy showed up and one guy beat his ass.

    Please don't start the racial stuff again Color of a mans skin, how big he is, or what his nationality is doesn't count to a boxing fan. The criteria is Can he FIGHT!!!!!! or should be

    Manny has ALWAYS been more popular than Floyd anywhere even the US. That's what annoys you so much

    That's made up of casuals & people like you that believe the schtick they put out about Floyd LOL The clowns still all over the internet telling people how great he thinks he is ROFL. He claims he's better than Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson ROFL I cannot believe either Ali or Robinson would have had the hysterical outburst Floyd did when Margarito merely asked him "why wont you fight me" Oopps need clean underwear
    Also I remember Floyd asking the fans who he should fight next & I'll do it. The resulting poll made Amir Khan as favorite & the fight to be in England, as Floyd claimed he always wanted to fight there. Reply from Floyd ?
    SILENCE!!! Next thing you know hes dragging up a retired , shot Andre Berto ROFLMAO
    Chicken Floyd was scared of two things about Khan he'd beaten Maidana plus his fast hands & Floyd hadn't got the punch to keep him off. But main reason ... He wouldn't have the NSAC & Vegas boxing to rely on in England Cluck Cluck Cluck

    Not true, if Floyd wouldn't changed his persona to the "villain" narrative, he would've never risen to the level of popularity that he did.

    No disrespect, it's making an observation. Not making an "excuse".

    It's a joke. Crawford's a good fighter, but he hasn't done anything to be #1 P4P. Spence was obviously massively overrated. Spence hasn't been in his prime since the car crash. As RJJ said many times in interviews, you don't take that kind of punishment and come back the same. Charlo on the other hand is clearly in his prime, he's arguably at his peak right now. The winner of Canelo vs Charlo is a far better and more important win as it relates to P4P and legacy than Crawford beating Spence. Because it's not just a fight for Undisputed, it's an established Undisputed Champ challenging another Undisputed Champ.

    If Canelo beats Charlo, he would have a win over an Undisputed Champion. That's a legacy win. It would mean more if Charlo won because he would dethrone Canelo at SMW, but it would still be a major win for Canelo to beat not only an Undisputed Champion, but a fighter with the kind of high level skills and stylistic advantages that Charlo has. (reach, height, speed, footwork, conditioning, etc)

    And I can respect that when there's no clear agenda. These 2 guys been spilling on the board for a week already and day one the agenda was clear. Inoue is doing his thing but he's not undisputed at 2 weights. Can't argue with history very successfully.

    You really have to go with 'Undisputed champ' every time you mention Charlo huh? Too chicken **** to mention undisputed 14 POUNDS SOUTH? It's essentially the same reason Floyd v JMM was ALWAYS marketed at just a WW fight, w/ NO mention of the catchweight Floyd poopooed. It's carefully selected words with the attempt to hide the obvious flaw. The difference in size.

    He is the Undisputed Champ, so that goes without saying. But yeah I'm gonna remind you about it because you musta forgot about that and what that means. It means it's a quality win. If you beat an Undisputed Champion, it means more than just a regular champion. You're too focused on the weight difference and not about how good Jermell is and that he's Undisputed.

    It's a quality win....over a guy two divisions south. remember when you tried to talk down 3G's win over Brook?? And NOW you say Canelo is too small for LtHW EVEN AFTER claiming he beat the best LtHW in Kov. Hypocrite idiot...

    What doez color got to do with it? manny was popular because he was exciting to watch. Bud, Shakur are popular for the wrong reason they get hated on much like Floyd was.The hate from fans made him the star.
    The only excuse i can buy is if the car accident did some nuerological damage with conclusive proof to back that up that he is rendered incapable to compete and perform in the sport.As per the drained excuse it’s not enough.Based on my assessment Spence didn’t lose anything except his tooth and eye drooping to one side.Speech was slurring that always what spence sounds like a sloooow country bumpkin twang and his vision and hearing is goodwhere it needs to be to pass.The fact that he never looked like losing prior to Crawford.Beat good top fighters better than Fulton and Buttler.Like Garcia and Garcia.Number 1 no doubt.Ugas beat pluckquaio.Spence demolished him under the big lights.Mean while turtle hiding in Japan fighting nobodies.He needs to go to America.Blood and urine like everyone else as the goat Floyd said.
