I like Bud, but can we be honest that his resume is baby doo-doo for a recognized P4P fighter?

:manny: None of the names on his resume impress me that much. I don't think it's a secret why him and Pac didn't fight. Arum just didn't think he was ready for that unless Pac was paid enough to take a dive.

I mean Gamboa hurt him at one point in their clash, and while he's gotten better since then, he hasn't fought a name that warrants any reason why he's considered a P4P great. Truth be told, the fact that he's exclusively with Arum, HBO, and the WBO is the only reason he's listed as a P4P great.

Porter would give him hell, I think Danny would stop him, I think Spence stops him, I think Thurman stops him, etc.. At the most I think he'd win a split decision against a Berto, or Devon Alexander. Alexander would probably beat him if given a fair shake from the judges.

In Craw's defense, he has dominated everyone put in his way. During his time at 35 and 40, there was nobody who i'd take against him -- not only was he outboxing his opps, he was dishing out punishment. His legacy is definitely going to be built at 47, a division where the assortment of fighters are touted as possessing not only great technical skills, but a clear size advantage over Crawford.

I'm already dreading the politics though. I know Crawford unifying with any of the other 47 champs is going to be tough just cause Arum always needs his cut.
