Crawford is Good but He's Being Slightly Overrated and Very Overhyped

    I'm mainly did this thread based on the fact that many people are considering him for Fighter of the Year which I don't think he is, and that he would clean out 140 and 147 handily, which is also a dubious claim, obviously I'm not referring to everyone, only to those who believe that.

    Well let's see I pick every winner accurately, sometimes in incredibly hard to predict matches, yet I the author of The Cult of Overhypers thread go out of my way to choose Geale and Rubio to beat GGG, Algieri to beat Pacquiao, Maidana to defeat Floyd and Beltran to beat Crawford. You haven't picked up on the fact that I root against popular fighters sometimes? I like to root for the underdog and I get all blustery about it. I start Overhyping the underdog.

    when your whole gameplan is relying on one shot, it rarely works against world class fighters

    you root against rigondeaux who isn't popular at all and you have said that frampton lsc and quigg would all ko him.I think you just root against the fighters you dislike and pick them to get upset because in your mind you want to see it happen.then you can say see I told you they were over hyped.

    I root against Rigo because I can't stand him, I like Manny a lot and GGG and Crawford to a certain extent.

    I never said Quigg I said Lomachenko, I think Quigg would be brutalized by Rigo.

    I said he was good but those wins are not fighter of the year caliber. Kovalev's victory over Hopkins is better than all 3 of Crawford's wins this year, Pacquiao's wins over Algieri and p4p Bradley are better, Wlad's victory over Pulev alone is worthy of it. Roman had a good year, Crawford is a contender but not the FOTY.

    BTW I don't hate Crawford I like him a lot personally but his style bores me. He would beat some at 140 but not all.

    Omar would bring the constant pressure and countless punches to go along with it, do I think Figueroa could beat him.... probably not, but he has a punchers chance.

    exactly what I said you root against fighters you don't like these guys are top fighters and you pick underdogs who have virtually no shot.

    Isn't that what I said to start with.:yep Although I tend to only do that with fighters with smug fans(not all of their fans are smug). Like Floyd Manny GGG Rigo

    I said it first lol.I know you are a contrarian who likes to go against the popular opinion the majority.that doesn't change the fact that you were way off with your predictions.and rigo barely has any fans.
