Has there ever been a fighter ranked as high as Crawford with such a poor resume?

Yeah, Spence. Guy, who has been fighting in one division and his best win was Porter, who Bud stopped and retired


Beterbiev should be higher than Spence in P4P list.

 

Naoya Inoue.

 

Vitali Klitschko

 

You mean Ugas who was clearly old and down the hill and Brook who had his eye broke by GGG ?

Spence will need your help after he fights Bud.

 

Uhhh GGG homie got the most trash resume of a supposed p4p guy ever next to bud they the top 2

 

I'm not the world's most knowledgeable boxing historian, but I do believe it's tough to recall a guy rated by most mainstream publications as p4p the best fighter on the planet and his resume consists of overmatched no hopers.

 

Norris?

 

Most American publications have had him #1 at some point or another.

 

CBS, ESPN had him at #1. Ring has only ever had him as high as #2. Funnily enough they briefly had Inoue #1 over Usyk when there is no possible rational argument for that.

 

Crawford is obviously a very talented fighter but I feel like guys who fight a flashy style get overrated because they fight guys who aren't at their level and they end up looking a bit super human. I can easily list a group of fighters who ended up being flops once they stepped up but I don't think Crawford is that either. He is no Andre Berto.
Spence on the other hand has a style that is very effective but is certainly not flashy. I feel like his style doesn't really have a kryptonite, but I do feel his style will be exactly that for Crawford. Just my opinion.
Neither of these guys will be remembered in the same way a Floyd, Pac, Cotto, ODH, Mosely will be. All of those guys were multi division champs as well.
