    Which version of Maidana, the Maidana that lost to Amir Khan or the one that beat Broner, who lets face it was a hypejob to begin with.

    Absolutely not.

    Horrible view.

    Lets put aside the fact that Crawford and Broner fight nothing alike, at all lol.

    Crawford is not only bigger than Broner, with almost half a foot of reach on him, but Crawford is levels above Broner in practically every conceivable metric other than chin and maybe one punch speed.



    This is like the guy earlier saying Bakole beats Usyk because he beat Jared Anderson.


    Maidana wouldnt make it to the 10th round against Crawford.


    For the record... Madrimov would batter Maidana as well.

    My favorite part about Bud fights has got to be the reactions afterwards. 37 year old, moving up to a 4th weight class against arguably the best fighter in that division, pulls off a close win in a really good competitive fight, let's shower him with some hate. Bud would beat Cotto and Maidana quite handily and he's right in there against Floyd and Pacman. Especially at 147lbs

    I dont necessarily agree, but even if I did think Cotto was better than Madrimov, styles make fights and I think Mad has a much harder style for Crawford to deal with than Cotto has.

    Y'all got me till' Maidana lmaoo but I agree that I would have loved to see the fight and seeing how Terence has problems with unorthodox fighters it could be very competitive and I would love to see that match!

    He's an excellent fighter and certainly better than Twink whose resumes makes Crawford's resume look impressive but there can be no argument for him being P4P#1 now. There shouldn't have been before because it's clearly Usyk but now it's not even debatable

    And ir isn't despite his countless cheerleaders, buddies and propagandists on broadcast teams trying to browbeat us into believing it's an indisputable fact he is, and his army of insecure fans on social media who constantly have to proclaim him P4P#1 on every damn video about him and who act like it's blasphemy if anyone dares disagree with them about it

    And all the YT interviewers who also constantly proclaim him such.

    I see this a million times but they never do it with Usyk

    ''I'm here with the P4P king Terence ''Bud'' Crawford :facepalm:

    It's not Crawford I dislike it's them

    Go check out videos and the comments if you don't believe me

    We are talking about the no 1 spot pfp, you have to be very critical here. I think this performance makes it clear that Crawford at the moment is pfp 3 at best.

    No, the opening post was about how a single fight @154 @36 proves that Crawford loses to Cotto and Maidana @147. Little logic there and both would probably look worse vs. Madrimov @154, if we play the 'extrapolate one performance to a different division and opponents' game. Which we shouldn't.

    Crawford is one of my favourite fighters and he himself is all around very likeable but his fanboys really are the worst… some of them are almost as tribal as Canelo fanboys

    I think 154 will be his ceiling.

    New division? Crawford look bigger than Madrimov ..who was also a ten fight novice. And “clear decision” is disingenuous

    Is it really news that this was Crawford's 54 debut & 4th division overall? New weight always adds extra challenge. Also, who cares how many fights Madrimov had? Spence had 30 and looked worse. Your point?

    Tank isn't close to Usyk.. that's an insult.. the guy stays in his back yard fighting spoon fed opposition
