why is Crawford's resume so bad?

Because his weight bully ass has forged an entire career on beating up on C levels and non-punchers-average punchers in his backyard who he often holds significant weight, reach or both advantages over and on the incredibly rare occasions he's actually fought someone who can punch or at least bang a bit at down at their natural weight class he's been badly hurt or dropped.

E Level Egis can bang and he hurt and dropped him albeit it was predictably not counted by the home ref. And even though it was Crawford's third weight class, as with his fight against career welter Horn, he would've weighed more on the night than career welter Egis and had his obligatory reach advantage too of course.


And Gamboa hurt him badly with a solitary right hand which had him doing a funny little chicken dance and his head foggy for about 60 seconds and Gamboa was giving away 7lbs in weight, 9'' in reach and has only stopped 2 of his 11 opponents up at 135 and is a natural 126-130 at best.

To add a little more perspective. Gamboa couldn't even stop Darleys Perez at 135, that's the same Darleys Perez who Anthony Crolla aka Mr KO 28% KO'd in 5 a few fights later lol. Imagine the effect that Gamboa right hand would've had on Crawford if they both weighed the same as each other or if god forbid Crawford was facing a prime world class opponent who had a significant weight advantage on him and could punch a bit and Gamboa had 7lbs on him instead? We all know exactly what would've happened. Gamboa would've sparked him. But it's only 7lbs, doe lol

Even leprechaun GRJ beat him up when Crawford tried to step up to him. GRJ cracked his jaw lol

God knows what happens when Crawford faces a world class fighter who is bigger than him, in their prime and who can punch.

His best win in 36 fights is Pity Pat Postol for goodness sake and even though he had 5lbs in weight on him and even a slight reach advantage on the Ukrainian beanpole he stunk out the joint something terrible.

Josh Taylor matched that win in just his 13th fight for goodness sake

And Taylor had only fought one world class opponent before (a past prime Vazquez) going into that one

Had taken part in zero world title fights

Had never been past 9 rounds before

Was giving away 4'' in reach

And would've weighed about the same as Postol

Whereas, conversely, when Crawford fought Postol he was 28-0

Had fought 6 or 7 world class opponents

It was his 7th world title fight

Had been into the 10th or further 5 times including the full 12 twice

Had a slight reach advantage over the Ukrainian (Crawford has never once been at a reach disadvantage in any of his fights against world class competition)

And had a 5lb weight advantage over Postol

And on top of that, as said, he spent the entire fight on his bicycle stinking out the joint like he was in against a murderous puncher.

Taylor even beat one of his other best wins Horn in the amateurs

Don't get me wrong, I actually rate Crawford highly and think he's a very talented fighter but I'm not going to be blinded by the smoke and mirrors or allow anyone to pull the wool over my eyes. Fact is his resume is pure garbage for someone afforded such a lofty ranking in the P4P top 10, let alone the supposed #1 according to many.

Duh, it's much easier to be ''dominant'' when you're facing C level non-punchers-average punchers in your backyard where everything is stacked in your favour who you hold significant advantages in weight or reach over or at worst weigh about the same as.
