    Nobody will dominate Crawford, Spence might beat him but his guard is not active enough to help him evade Crawford`s fast, powerful shots.

    Did you see what Spencde did to Brook?! He ate jabs all night and Khan`s defense is even worse, no way could he take Crawford`s punches, Horn is tougheer and more robust than Khan, Amir could not have come back against Manny after being in trouble in the 9th like Horn was vs Pac, mir doesn`t have a chin like that, he will be blown away, Spence would also knock Khan out.

    No, Crawford and Loma are clearly the Top two, who are the others? GGG? Canelo for me was beaten by GGG. I can`t think of anyone else, maybe Spence? Usyk?

    If anything Crawford is underrated.

    Dudes had one fight where he didn't look as explosive as his other fights yet still won near every round, dropped and stopped his opponent and people are quick to jump on the overrated wagon, bit quick to jump the gun, could be that Benevidez was just an awkward night for him or that he's better himself than given credit for but we'll find out when big fights are made (hopefully).

    Not saying they would be competition in saying for Crawford to have legitimate opponents on his resume.. Arum said he will not matchup Bud with Porter or Garcia only Spence.. So until that happens you’re looking at Bud vs Adames, some 11-0 prospect, Alvarado etc.. These are Arums words look it up

    I don't know why some people claim that he is P4P N1... The dude doesn't even deserve to be in top3. Simple question to everyone: How many people outside of the US know about Crawford? If we exclude people like us - he has like 0 popularity around the globe. He hasn't faced any big superstar around his weight. 34 fights and he is mainly facing B side opposition.

    He fought far greater competition than Crawford thus allowing his flaws to get exposed.

    Pound for pound he blows Crawford out the water.

    Morales, Marquez, Barrera, Cotto. His opposition was incredible.

    You mean Crawford is a far bigger man than Pac.

    You're being captain obvious right now.

    Bud showed me a lot last night. Benevidas was a solid opponent. He was 120-5 as an amateur and 27-0 as a pro. Gave Jose the 1st and 4th gave Crawford the rest. Crawford's age is a little concern. He is already in his 30's. Time is now. Still got Spence beating him.

    The win over an unranked, injured opponent, is cheered like he just beat Roberto Duran.

    I could accept that someone tells me that he's #2 p4p. I woulndt accept anything worse than that.

    He has everything, I cant come out and say anything that he lacks of in the ring. Most complete fighter out there. Imho, the best now.
