Terence Crawford is the most overrated boxer in the past 23 years.

    To be fair, we do not know why Crawford dominated the way that he did. I'm not saying Crawford wouldn't have won. But let's be honest, fighters who are less than Spence like Benavidez, Horn, Molina, Kava, and Avanysean did better than Spence who is superior to all those guys. We use the arguement "styles make fights" but Horn, who has a similar style to Spence, did much better. Taking context in consideration, I still don't know how good Crawford is. A win against, Tszyu, Ennis, Ortiz, and Charlo would solidify his greatness imo.

    I don't think Horn is like Spence at all. Spence is more textbook and easier to time. Many fighters like Porter landed clean and hard on Spence early before Spence eventually wilted them under pressure. Also, this was the first fight we saw Crawford incorporate a power jab off the front foot which he never used against Horn.

    In an era of AJ, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Tank Davis, I think Crawford is a long long way from being the most overrated fighter.

    Why do you keep coming back for more shorty? I think you get off on being humiliated LOL. I got to give it to you at least you don't hide under a rock like your cowardly overweight buddy.

    Crawford arrived 10 years too late. Due to lack of decent contenders and bad promotion, Crawford will never be rated as highly as he should be.

    Overrated? How so. The man is world's above any boxer around his division. The fact that he'd have to move up to find challenges tells you all you need to know about how great he is. He's a weight jumper though, which is hard to classify.

    Great post my friend You described Canelo & Floyd perfectly & poor drenlou does seem to have problems.
    A point you missed was Canelo was asked if he would entertain fighting Crawford. his response was NO that would be too much for Crawford to have to fight at 168 I'm too big . He forgot he'd already fought Jermell Charlo & bragged about it lol

    Ellerbe was a Spence fan till he got destroyed by Crawford lol. He was a Floyd fan too, that changed toCanelo.
    but then Canelo got whipped like a red headed stepchild by Bivol. Now he's hanging on Tanks apendages
    He's fickle lol
