“I am the best fighter in the world, hands down. ESPN is the biggest brand in sports and Top Rank is the biggest promotional company in boxing." — Terence Crawford
He needs to beat Spence, thats the only chance he has to break into the top 3 p4p of Lomachenko, Usyk and Golovkin. The only guy in the weak, overrated division of 147 that can improve his P4P rating is Spence.
What exactly makes 135/130, CW and 160 less weak than 147? I would say 147 is the strongest division in boxing with several guys being able to give the best guy in the division(Thurman) a good fight. Canelo is good but no ATG hes kind of a fraud, he struggled badly at 154 Jacobs is only now no longer seen as a bum because he gave GGG a close fight, but not because Jacobs was better than we thought(he wasn't, he didn't do anything impressive except be big) but because GGG was WORSE than we thought. GGG is not just not as good as we thought, he is also declining Saunders might be really good. Charlo might also be good but I don't think the Canelo GGG winner will fight either one too soon. I'm not gonna put down 135 because I like Loma and think Linares is underrated, but without Garcia it's still nowhere near 147. CW may or may not be good, looks like Usyk is great but Gassiev was exposed as a bum, if he was any good he would have adjusted atleast a little bit.
