    You can think Crawford has impressive skills and I would agree, but the guy literally hasn't fought a top opponent yet.

    I would like to hear from people who rate him highly on the pfp list, based on what do you give him that ranking?

    What are this guy's great wins? The biggest name he's faced is Khan, who is too chinny to be considered a top level fighter. Based on which wins do you give him a high ranking?

    Crawford suffers the mayweather syndrome. He's always going to fight a top fighter who is going to win to him, but he always ends winning to nobodies and bad fighters.

    For instace, postol was next to atg in this forum before he fought crawford. Now, who's postol? crawford has won to noone.

    For instance, berto has no clue about how to fight, he'a a horrible boxer who has done nothing. But campbell is a hell of a figther, isnt it?

    There are fighters people will never be fair with. Crawford is one of them, he could win to joshua today and you all will be saying here tomorrow that the weight is a disadvantage. Those who know what they are watching can appretiacte very well why crawford is one of the best p4p fighters right now, it's pretty obvious, tbh.

    Yeah, I agree, his resume doesn't scream PFP. His best win was Gamboa IMO. The thing about Crawford and why so many rank his so high is, he does make really good boxers, look average or even below average. The man does have mad skills, is a switch hitter, and appears to have an uber Ring IQ and so far, a fine chin with a well rounded defense. He's moved up and dominated. Lets see him fight Spence, Porter, and the rest of the gang at Welter, then we can pass true judgement.

    Ok, so give me the names which you think qualify him for high placement on the pfp list

    Exactly. You have to fight top fighters to be considered for the pfp list and he LITERALLY hasn't done that yet.

    I felt the same way with GGG before he fought Canelo. People were calling him the greatest MW ever, meanwhile the only really top fighter he'd fought was Jacobs. Other than that it's Lamieux, ok, that's decent and then it's freaking Matthew Macklin and Martin Murray.

    Dont tell me that, I always thought that posto was a terrible figher, a really horrible one. It was not me who was saying that he was p4p material in this forum. I'm just stating the reality, that's all.

    It's not just who he's beaten, but how dominant he's been against his opponents through 3 divisions.

    His best wins are as good as Loma's, and he doesn't have a loss on his record. Crawford eats guys like Campbell, Pedraza, Salido etc for breakfast.

    P4p is just a popularity contest these days, but based on actual achievement and dominance it should look like this:

    1. Canelo
    2. Crawford
    3. Loma

    Loma has the opposite. After they give him competitive fights guys like Campbell and Linares suddenly become ATGs.

    I just mean in general. Crawford dominates his opponents from start to finish.

    It really is quite simple and has nothing to do with resume.Each and every time he fights he's the favourite as is Lomo,you earn that by being splendid.

    rofl, I dont give a F aboput if you think that crawford is p4p material or not dude. I dont want to convice you.

    But for instance, gamboa is a top notch win. Now you all laugh at gamboa, but when crawford dismantled gamboa, nobody laughed at him, not here, not anywhere. Indongo is a pretty good win too. Both of them wins that are underrated by people because of how easy crawford made it.

    But you can believe whatever you want, it doesn matter. As well as it doesnt matter what I think. I wont argue about if the sky is blue, I know it is, not my problem if anyone thinks otherwise.
