    Say what you want . I know I'm gonna get some sort of hate for this from "bud" fans I read from place to place that crawford will clear out 147 that he will beat everyone . Yea I give him his credit. The guy did put in work but the fanboyism is real . His best name on résumé is Postol . But Josh Taylor just beat postol. What's gonna. When Prograis knocks out Postol. What will that say about Crawford . Next crawfords dosent seem to have to much power at 147 I doubt his power if any carried up at all maybe just a little . I'm just being real guys the guy is 30 years . What's gonna happen when spence or Keith Thurman beat Crawford. Or Danny Garcia. You guys are counting out Garcia out to fast he's got power that can change the course of the fight quick. I keep hearing crawford is like Andre Ward or Roy Jones jr. Or like Floyd Mayweather. P.S his skills are over rated as **** he really hasn't fought top opposition with real power . Postol will get crushed by regis. Crawford gets hit alot when he's southpaw and his offense is overated for someone rated pound per pound he unified belts with indongo 3rd tko not someone special. Prograis took out indongo in two rounds.

    I think he is neither overated or a hypejob i think he is the real deal. I think he beats everybody at 147.

    Wilder gets a lot of flak on here for his resume, but when you look at Crawford's it's much much worse yet he anyone would think he's only fought p4p legends

    Its true, Crawfords resume does not sit easily with his P4P ranking. But sometimes you gotta go beyond the resume and go off the eye test too. He is clearly elite and dominates his opposition. Wilders resume is worse than Crawfords and he doesnt dominate his opposition he is just lucky he has that equalizer in his right hand.

    I think he is that good in my heart, but he is a bit overratted until he beats a bad style match-up in Spence.

    He is overrated by people who try to put him #1 p4p the dude needs to beat somebody with a pulse first... that being said talent wise he is top ten possibly top 5 p4p just needs to see how he looks against good opponents to be sure.

    I think Spence decisions him if is able to bang his body. One of those classic boxer vs swarmer fights.

    He's no hypejob, he's legitmately near the top of the p4p lists. However, like @escudo I reckon Spence beats him.

    This, he's a spence fight away from keeping pace with an arguably over ambitious Lomachenko. Time will tell, and a H2H fight with them would be huge, it should happen. But if Loma can hang I'd rank him top 40 all time.

    The first time I saw him fight, he looked like a special talent to me. He’s got a steeliness about him that stands out. And he’s fun to watch…not a hype job imo…

    Some great comments above, just have to weigh in on Spence…I like Spence a lot but I wouldn’t bet against Crawford if they met…

    And you shouldn't be ridiculed for that opinion. Much respect to TC if he takes that fight.
