Crazy how Crawford still not getting respect, but Spence and Pacquiao getting all this praise.

    Crawford was being called The Cold Eyed Assassin prior to the Benevidez fight . He didn't look like an assassin to me.. He struggled with a one legged fighter till Benevidez ran out of steam.
    He hasn't proved himself to me

    I think Buds rated appropriately. I rarely see him below top 5 P4P...not a lot of room to move up, really. I would have him above Spence and Pac at this stage, but most lists I see already do that. Ring rates him 2, so that makes the underrated argument an even tougher sell

    He's most folks pound for pound no 1 so he's certainly rated in the sport.Problem is imo is that the welterweight division was always the glamour division with so many top fights to b made,kind of crept up on us but the division is now basically shite with only Porter and Thurman there to challenge before Spence and Crawford finally meet.
    I think,intact I know Crawford's a hell of a fighter but he needs the fights to confirm it.

    Crawford rated p4p 1 by many. What are you talking about?

    This is a very good point. However Crawford hasn't beat a real elite talent, let alone 2, Spence has.

    Crawford has no signature win. He has a hell of a lot of fights to have fought such weak opposition.

    How the **** is it a struggle when you win all but two rounds and stop your opponent let’s add you take no punishment? I really think some people on this site have some real bull**** agendas.

    BUT!! his opponent could barely walk let alone move around . Bud stayed away refused to engage till Benevidez gassed out then he stopped him. Hardly the performance of a "Cold Eyed Assassin"
    was it. Maybe he is what you claim but sure hasn't shown it yet
