He is a solid all rounder but his resume is very poor. 140 has been the weakest division in boxing for many years now. He cleaned out a division where even guys like Cuenca, shot Burns, Gavin Rees, Khan, Kendall Holt ,Witter, Algieri, Peterson, and retired fat past it Morales won belts. The list of really weak world champions from that division is huge!
Deontay Wilder. He has the size, height, reach, power, American, sanctioning and drugs testing body backing. Complete package.
Everyone they have asked him to fight. He has run from nobody and I don't hear Robert Garcia say "we want Crawford." The question was not who has he beat but who is the most complete boxer. Given his skills Crawford is a competent choice
