I'm not going to get play this silly game while you indulge yourself into mental gymnastics in order to justify a resume that makes Lemont Peterson's look like the level of Mayweather. The list of names are evidence of themself of what a joke path Crawford has treaded in order to become undisputed. Burns is a sick joke. Beltran was a sparring partner who got fired because he couldn't do that well enough. Indongo is not a boxer. So that leaves only Diaz and Postal as the only two marginally respectable wins where you could say they were serious.
I dont think thats the round i meant. It wasnt the same round he dropped Gamboa in. Gamboa actually buzzed him a few times but in one of the rounds he had him in serious trouble! I remember him being on wobbly legs and the bell intervening. Anyway im not trying to say Crawford in not elite. I do belieive he is elite. I also thought Gamboa was elite. I just think Errorl Spence is a league above...
The guys who thought that Crawford will beat Thurman are just considering skills only. How about power and size advantages? Those 2 things are significant factors to think about too. Don't forget that they both will fight each other at 147.
Here is a link to the summary of the fight http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/...riorkis-gamboa-retain-lightweight-world-title For those that didnt watch the fight Gamboa was coming back from a year lay off and was only fighting at lightweight for the second time. The round crawford was badly hurt was round 9 i think
It's hard to say nowadays. Prime Thurman was a savage but now content with Mail Order Bankonk wife & bong rips
