    If you really believe Indongo is 34......well then, I have some holy water to sell you!

    You look at some of his old fights that were meant to have taken place in the last few years and they look like they were recorded back in the 80's on vhs.

    The reality is Crawford beat down on a old man, masquerading as a relatively young athlete still in their 30's.

    Then jumped in the air with such joy and disbelief as if he had just conquered a prime Sugar Ray Leonard.

    That is what we call small time mentality.

    Zab was talented but his ring IQ was pretty bad and that's what Crawford has in spades.

    Indongo had zero talent, not training, wild windmill punches, he was supposed to lose the fight, it was a set-up to make Crawford look good. Thurman will be a different story, so will Porter, Spence would be his easiest fight at 147. Crawford should find a wino from the alley to fight next...............

    He didn't apologize in the slightest.

    I think it's quite clear you misunderstood the post you quoted as you seemed to re word it whilst insisting it was bs.

    If every title holder had the same mentality as Crawford and signed a unification bout in their next fight, boxing would be a better place.

    Indongo earned himself the right to be called a decent fighter regardless of what you feel his age could be, need a reminder?

    Crawford's accolades are just as strong as anybody else's in this sport. Anybody saying otherwise is caping for somebody else in the P4P rankings and/or irreparably ignorant thus not worth arguing with. Becoming undisputed champ is nice trivia, but it's a lot of politics as well. Crawford's standing as a top fighter stands just as tall without it. He dispatched the longer and dangerous Indongo with ease, the same fighter who walked through two belt holders in the division without trouble. He beat down Felix Diaz who came in heavier and had no quit in him. There's nothing else he can do at this weight to please his critics. Even Mikey Garcia and Loma would be written off as too small. He's making his way to belt in a third division, this time at a significant size disadvantage. He'll rightly be the favorite in a lot of those fights despite that. Watch the show.

    Meh... The KO punch happened before the fight even really got started... Troy got caught cold, but it wasn't some clinical beatdown followed by a KO.

    And Burns is and always was a EuroBum.

    Rather he moved up to his natural weight class and fought real contenders.

    I think performances matter and even if he hasn't fought p4p level guys, he's fought some good ones and he absolutely destroyed them all.

    hes beaten the titleholders. Easiest path? ha.

    Easiest path is getting gifted a title for not facing a titleholder...and then it happening again! and again!!

    His natural weight class? Back down at LW?

    Real contenders, he's fought nothing but top ten ranked opponents including every title holder in his division.

    Let's be honest, what he's done at 140 isn't really worthy of any criticism. In fact it's the thing that Golovkin has tried to do for years, but Crawford managed it in 2 years and two of those fights were against the next best fighter in his division.

    I'd say right now Crawford is the second best boxer behind Golovkin.

    Golovkin
    Crawford
    Ward

    Probably my top 3 p4p

    He drained himself conor style to compete at light welter. There is a video of him that I posted where he is literally struggling to find the energy to speak words, because of the extreme starvation rituals he put himself through just so he could have his way with little men.

    You can't seriously be comparing the 140lb with the middleweight division??

    Name me all the top elite guys Crawford has beat,I guarantee you won't get past two names :lol:
