Has Keith Thurman Retired???

No longer a SAVAGE....Sad ending

 

Not even a little bit. Enough of your BS now, it's time to answer my original question:

When has any mis-Matchroom card ever had an unbeaten unified champ with worldwide name recognition on the undercard again?

 

Stopping Jeff Horn doesn't mean much and Crawford had Byrd, who didn't allow any roughhousing form Horn. If Byrd was the ref for when PAC fought Horn PAC would've got a stoppage win over Horn as well. The fact that he went 9 rounds with Horn says it all about how limited Crawford's power is a 147. I would've been more impressed with Crawford if he went to Australia and beat Horn on his home turf with the same ref that PAC had.

Crawford's fight with Benavidez confirmed his lack of power. Crawford had the reach advantage and was landing flush shot after flush shot on Benavidez and took 12 rounds to stop him. Thurman and Spence would've flattened Benavidez in 4-5 rounds. I don't like saying that since Benavidez is from my home town and I consider him a friend, but Benavidez just isn't a top 10 or even a top 20 fighter at 147.

Also, I'm glad boxrec corrected Crawford's reach and now have it correctly listed at 74" rather than 71". If only they would correct the heights on some of the fighter's like Wilder, Fury, Joshua, Efe, Joyce, Etc.

 

The fact that Crawford can stop guys late shows he has power.
I think you are trying to debate whether he is a puncher or not. He is clearly not a power puncher. Never has been.
But he has carried his power up from 135. (If he Crawford was a puncher, he would have stopped Beltran and Burns at 135)

Crawford can clearly punch. He has the ability to break guys down.
Where would you rank his power in the Ring Magazine P4P list?
Imo he is ahead of Lomachenko, Usyk, Nietes and even Alvarez.
