P4P List: Lomachenko or Crawford??

Loma would easily be pfp number 1...if he hadn't lost to ****ing Salido.

 

Who was Crawford fighting in his second pro fight?

In fact he was 5 years and 20 fights into his career until he faced a top 30 calibre of opponent in Prescott.

Did you know that Crawford and Lomachenko both won a title, their respective first in 2014.....only difference is Lomachenko jumped straight into the deep end as opposed to Crawford who waited 5 years then beat Burns.

So who was Crawford fighting in his second pro fight?

 

If you subscribe to the theory that a guy in his mid twenties with a few hundred am fights, who just fought a bunch six rounders without headgear, is in the same category as other 2-0 fighters then you aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer. And we still haven't seen Lomachenko beat a pressure fighter of Salido's calibre.

 

And Crawford has arguably not faced a fighter as good as Salido....although he beat Gambia he was a division above his best and coming off 12 months of inactivity.

Crawford has a weak resume, just admit it.

 

Well this went really well for you didn't it?

 

You thought a bum like Campbell had the potential to win. Thats how little you thought of Linares.

 

Beating Beltran is better than losing to Salido.

 

Beating Sosa, Walters, Rigo, GRJ and Linares is better than Burns, Gambia, Horn and Indongo.

Also how many fights in was Beltran?

 

So what's your point?

Walters was coming off an 11month hiatus and had been active and was the bigger man.

Gambia was coming off a 12month period of inactivity and had fought twice in two years and was at a weight which he had moved up to.

Similar but totally different comparisons.

Also nobody is claiming Walters to be his best victory.

 

Why is Sosa a better win than John Molina Jr?

 

I'd argue that his standout win over Fortuna is miles ahead of JMJ win over a battleworn Provodnikov and JMJ had been stopped in 1 off Demarco and was 34 and 2-3 in his last 5 fights prior to facing Terry.

Prior to Lomachenko Sosa was coming off the stoppage of Fortuna and a dominant display over Smith.

 

Beating Provodnikov is better than beating Fortuna or Smith.

Who did Fortuna ever beat? Running Easter close? Easter is going to get chopped down by Mikey next month.

 

I'd say he's better. We don't have the data to say much better, as Linares has fought fringe contenders and UK domestic level guys since taking two Ls. Crolla and Campbell really aren't that good.

 

Thank you. This guy doesn’t have a signature win on his resume and has lost to abysmal competition.
