    A top P4P fighter don't fight that sloppy and get hit that much in a fight. If Terrence Crawford looked this bad in a fight they'd be pulling him off HBO

    Right...so it's gone from "his defense isn't good enough" to "I want to see him move up...and upo...and up until he loses"...fair enough. I think he's going to start to come up short against the top guys at 115lbs (Naoya will be too good, Srisaket will probably be too big), but that's a thought from remembering how he looked at the weigh in for the Fuentes bout (he looked slightly fleshy there).

    If you're not impressed by guys in the lower weights then that's fair enough, then again over the last decade Flyweight has been one iof the best divisions in terms of depth, excitement and the such.

    Also worth noting that to get a name internationally at these lower weights a fighter has to be exciting. It's the excitement that has seen fans get behind Inoue as well. Sometimes as a result defense needs to take a backseat.

    Terrence "rocked by a blown up Featherweight" Crawford?

    Thats not what P4P means :patsch

    P4P is a proportionate measurement, traditionally the deep divisions have the best P4P fighters.

    Its measured by how good a fighter is & what division he is in (the deeper the division the more P4P credit)

    Crawford took clean punches against Lundy the last time out. Meanwhile, Gonzalez rolled or deflected a lot of the shots coming his way. Arroyo (who is better p4p than Lundy ever was) could make contact, but he rarely landed flush.

    You just said all three rounds were close. Maybe Arroyo landed the harder shots (debatable), maybe Roman landed more of them.

    Bottom line is, you don't score a fight by saying "Well, I gave the last 3 close rounds to Fighter A so I'll give the next one to Figther B." If A edges it, you give him the round.

    I'm not saying it's unreasonable to give any or all of those three rounds to Arroyo, I'm just saying it's also not unreasonable to give them to Roman. As you yourself said, they were close.

    So if the only three rounds you thought Arroyo could have won were close, a 120-108 score is not out of bounds.

    GGG looks and acts like a re****. But this will not go 2 rounds.

    Crawford nearly got KO'd against Gamboa and Lundy was hitting him clean in the first few rounds.

    This racebaiting needs to stop.

    I think it's an insult to boxing naming Chocolito P4P #1, those are not p4p skills at all
