Well, some guys really are huge. Chavez Jr. was massive at 160. But boxing has too many weight classes to complain about such things.
Hes already beaten the guys who would of exposed him as a hype job. Gets beat by a Spence or a Thurman then so what one great has beaten another great.
If Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier or any other great fighters and legends from the 60's to late 80's were fighting today, they would quite literally be called hype jobs, exposed, overrated etc. etc. It's a real shame, boxing fans don't know how to use common sense or sensible reasoning. They make mountains from the smallest of molehills.
Only way to know for sure is have him fight the best guys at 147 lbs. Indongo, Postol and the rest of the guys on his resume don't carry the same clout as the top guys at 147 lbs. I'd like to see him fight in this order: Porter than Thurman than Spence. I actually would favor Crawford over Thurman, I think he'd have problems with Porter (as everyone does,) and it would be interesting to see how he fares against someone as strong and durable as Porter. The big fight obviously is against Spence. His claim of being the P4P best fighter in the world will hold a lot more merit to it if he can beat those 3 guys. Up to this point in his career- and who he's fought- he doesn't deserve that title. That should belong firmly to Vasyl lomachenko.
It's impossible for him to be as good as people are telling us. he needs to fight Spence or Porter next even danny Garcia. he needs to fight someone good
How many "I hate Crawford" strings are you going to start. Crawford....blah blah blah. Ok you don't like Crawford but say something different and semi-original. Despite all of your blither it was a one-sided bout and when Benavidez actually had to come to Crawford he got dropped and stopped. Get over you heartburn on Crawford because he will be here a while
Crawford was at 140 for 2+ years. Where was Mikey? If he REALLY wanted some of Crawford he had his opportunity. Funny how he and Regis ended up at 140 when Crawford left
