    I already explained it in my post that you quoted without reading...

    Because the two stand out candidates that I would normally vote for if they were on the list are not on the list of options. So I will vote for my #3 current option, Terence Crawford.

    When Pacquiao beat Bradley in the rematch, Bradley was coming off of a excellent performance in boxing JMM's ears off. JMM returned and looked devastating, sharp, and explosive against Alvarado. Chaves is an ugly, ugly fighter. And he got a gift draw. I mean, Rios-Chaves is unwatchable. And so was last night's fight.

    Algieri was a good win. Pac completely dominated the sh!t out of a guy who was perceivd to be a stylistic nightmare second only to JMM. Size, height, reach, lateral movement, technical boxer, stamina, and chin.

    You picked Crawford as a default. But why is he deserving of being ahead of Pac or Kovalev?

    ...better combination of quality and quantity of resume.

    EDIT: I didn't pick him "as a default." I picked him because that is the best answer I could give with my options.

    I picked Crawford. 3 fights this year. All are somewhat big names. His win against Gamboa was a huge boost for him.

    :lol:

    Say what?

    Crawford DWARFED Gamboa and even said that Gamboa didn't belong at the weight.

    Ricky Burns is Euro level, and had his jaw broken by Beltran.

    Beltran is a durable gatekeeper. And came up against a Junior Middleweight sized Crawford.

    :lol:

    WOW!!!!!!!!

    Great emphasizing of the word "dwarfed." I needed that to be extra big or else I may not have seen it or understood it!

    Not everyone agrees with you and you can't handle it or understand why???

    Mind: blown.

    In other words, you can't really explain why you think Crawford is a better pick over Pacquiao or Kovalev.

    (we know you hate Manny, but why no love for Sergey?)

    I can explain. And I did.

    I said that the combination of quality and quantity is my reasoning for having Crawford ahead of everyone other than Gonzalez and Ruenroeng. And the possibility of Inoue should he look good and beat Narvaez.

    Perhaps everyone has their own opinion about Ricky Burns, Chris Algieri, Cedric Agnew, etc. and how beating them stacks up to each other and how the performance in the fights stack up to each other. Perhaps not everyone has your exact opinion about everything.

    I don't need to discredit victories of fighters in a bullet style format as you have done to provide an answer here.

    I gave you my explanation; the combined quality and quantity of their resume is my criteria.

    Now realize that you and I don't value every fighter and every performance the exact same. Thus my explanation that I have given you multiple times is indeed a valid explanation.

    You want more details? You want me to answer every question you have when you want me to answer them? Open up a kickstarter fund for me or paypal me, dude. Otherwise, get off the D just cause you don't agree with my rational opinion.

    He's right. You have made a thread that only includes fighters on major American TV broadcasts.

    That is not an accurate depiction of the boxing landscape nor an accurate depiction of the would-be poll results because you have not included some of the best options which would have received multiple votes.
