If Crawford retired now would he be a hall of famer in your opinion?

    No. He has not really done too much.

    In my own personal opinion of what the criteria of a Hall of Fame should be; no.

    By the standards of the current IBHOF; yes.

    Prograis stopped the Namibian Fluky man quicker than Crawford did, in Indongo's next fight after losing to Crawford.

    They inducted Don Curry to the hall of fame and he didn`t do anything Bud didn`t do aside from beating Starling in a disputed win McCrory looked pretty bad v Jones.

    Broner had trouble with guys like Ponce De Leon and Gavin Rees, his limitations were exposed pretty early on. Comparing him to Crawford is just stupid.

    It would be if that's what I was doing. I'm comparing his actual achievements not potential or 'eye test'.

    ‘Crawford hasn’t done anything Broner hasn’t/couldn’t have done at this point’

    Broner struggled badly with far lesser opponents than Crawford has completely dominated so that statement is just nonsense. No way Broner would go through Crawfords resume undefeated.

    Well that is after the fact reasoning. Starling and McCrory were top guys at the time, and then you take into account Curry at 154. Curry's career is a story. What big story is Crawford so far? He really has not done much. Crawford is not Hall of Fame. Gatti should not have gotten in probably, but he did have a full career.

    Sure. But past mistakes that demonstrate the abysmally low standards of the HOF shouldn't be justify additional mistakes.

    But he still won. I think he might have gone undefeated through his resume and has a great chance at defeating Postol and Indongo at 140 to unify.

    But that's by the by. Crawford is still in early Golovkin territory in destroying decent opposition looking like an ATG but not having the names.

    By MY standards no. But the hall of fame has lot of politics behind it and he’ll get in.

    Gatti was in some great fights. Has Crawford ever been in a great fight or even fought anyone great?

    I'm starting to wonder if Crawford has a shaky chin, and that;s a reason some key matches are not being made.
