    What separates him from the likes of Loma, Canelo, etc? I personally think that Loma is a more gifted and skilled boxer, but everyone have their preferences. It seems that boxing is desperately trying to find a new heir to the Welterweight division since Mayweather and Pacquiao are retired or in Pacquiao’s case semi retired. As good as Crawford is, I just don’t see that “IT” factor when he fights in the ring. He has that killer instinct and can switch-hit, but he’s just good or above average in a lot of areas, but not great at anything particular.

    What stands out to me is the fact that his championship fights have not been controversial and he's dominated his competition. Hes a hard hitter can switch southpaw and orthodox. He does not need to sit on his punches to generate power. Hes undefeated . idk man in my opinion hes the best fighter of our generation along with loma and canelo however i rate Crawford higher.

    He’s not very conversational and really boring when interviewed

    I like to watch Crawford's fights. He has the style of fighting that impresses me. His style is unique.

    Me too; I like how he works his opponents out during the fight and start taking them apart.

    weight bully with an overrated skillset. Looks great against smaller tiny men and guys his size that are injured or have limited skills

    Nah, that is such a weak argument.
    It´s just making excuses for every fight and it´s such a stupid thing to do.

    The reality is that his resume is lacking. At Lightweight, his best win was over Gamboa, who doesn´t belong at the weight(at least he never adapted his style to fight so much bigger opponents). Good wins over Beltran, Burns and Klimov.
    At 140 Crawford did unify all of his belts and he did beat Postol. But again, not much there besides some solid B level guys like Diaz and Dulorme.

    At 147 he beat Horn who was in the top 10(by slim margins) and the rest of his comp have been solid top 20 guys.

    People sometimes credit Bud for dominating his opponents, but the fact is that his opposition hasn´t been as good as Crawford himself is. Which is clear, that Bud is one of the best boxers in the world.

    Compared to the pfp list, and the names he's being mentioned with (Loma, Usyk, Canelo), he's fought nobody

    How he dismantles his opponents strategy, works it out, then implements his own...
