He's beaten better name fighters for one. Khan is a bigger name than Walters, Russel and Linares. He fought an small and past prime Rigo. He also lost to Salido. Only has 14 fights compared to Crawford 35 fights. Crawford is also undefeated. Only name Loma has beaten is Russell.
He might've beaten bigger names, but that doesn't make them better. A shot chinny Khan, a poor Horn, a Chinny Gamboa who was moving up in weight, And his best win, which is Postol who is no better than Linares pfp. Loma has a much better résumés and what does losing have to do with ranking now? Pacquiao was pfp 1 in 2009 with 3 loses and 2 draws
Crawford cleaned out 140 and became the first undisputed champion there since Tszyu. Yes, it was a weak division, but that still deserves respect.
You stated that it was a weak division. He did what he was supposed to do, when clowns like Indongo have a belt. Unifying that type of division doesn't add a damn thing to a pro Crawford argument.
Three division champ and one of the few to unify an entire division in modern times so yeah i think that deserves a spot although with his recent opponents and if he keeps that trend going then i want him out of anyone's p4p lists
that's silly talk,fair enough his resume may not be the same but it's not his fault and he's considered pound for pound on account that he's always the favourite to win even when he started at welterweight. I always wonder about these doubters and haters about at what point will they finally admit they were wrong,what happens if Crawford beats Spence,will that be enough? He's up there on the eye test alone imo though I accept that Lomo and Usyk are on par with him and they can all exchange no 1 position depending on recent wins imo.
I dunno I mean they either deserve the hype or they dont,it's not like they're Chris Eubank jnr who fooled a lot of us,no those two and in particular Crawford are highly skilled boxers. I may be proved wrong but Crawford appears to be the heir apparent to Mayweather and please don't tell me this bull s*** about a boxer getting hit,shock horror,who would of thought it eh?
B/C Arum and Haymon won't do business together it's gonna be hard for Crawford to fight anyone good unless Top Rank can quickly develop or poach some proper 147lbers
