Pacman may be too much style wise bruh. He dropping Kool keith at age 40

meant to say at super featherweight as well

Any updates on Spence?

 

[reservoirdogs]

i get your point, he's doing what he's suppose to do against inferior talent and there's NO denying that, but i just can't use the top 3 pfp slot on somebody you can only judge off a preceived "eye test" because he hasn't had an elite opp yet. Times up. We gave GGG smoke about it and Crawford gotta get his too.

Isee, GGG mostly got criticism from me though because he stuck for years in a weak ass division, waiting on the big money fights even when they were nowhere nearby and never even attempted to go up and challenge himself at 168.
Crawford at least moved up twice already.

It's legit if you have Usyk, Loma and Canelo above Bud on a P4P list, I'd say it's up to preference. I don't see him anywhere below that though.

A showcase card..

 

[Black_Jesus]

That's not true at all friend

Nah.. If they feel they dont need to fight Bud... Bud dont need to fight them.. That's where I'm at with it.. I'm done playing the bullshyt politic games with these boxers

Keep hearing this but thing is the dudes he listed sans Spence all had their shyt pushed by at least one fighters of the level Crawford always dominated. Crawford ain't having close fights with Josesito Lopez, Julio Diaz or Mauricio Herrera level foes. He might loses some early rounds but from then on it's usually a wrap.

I doN't say his resume would be great but it also gets shytted on a lot just for the sake of an agenda. Postol is one of his best wins and he beat Matthysse better than Garcia. Horn gave Pac a tough fight but he couldn't win a minute against Crawford.

I get why you criticize his resume but if we are talking about his resume these things should be mentioned too.

Like I said though, who has crawford beat that yall believe Garcia, Spence, Thurman or Shawn couldn't beat?

You think you're pressing me with this now or what? If I say nobody then what? You think you won a debate with that one? Nobody is claiming he has a great resume but it's absolutely legit to have the opinion that he'd beat any of the guys you mentioned. He isn't ranked high because he beat elite opponents but because he consistently dominated good/very good ones, the types who gave some of the fighters you listed all they could handle.

Him vs Loma at a lower weight in their primes would have been

Before or after Manny added more arsenal than just a straight left Either way I have Manny by stoppage/or ko.

with danny and his trainer at odds over money..i wonder how that will affect his preparation for Jr.

Iron Mike with that old man strength is some scary shyt A lot of the old school boxing wisdom is dying out and just isn't being passed along to enough fighters.

Tyson has reached a level of natural enlightenment.

Who has crawford beat, that Danny, Shawn, ERROL, or Thurman couldn't likely whip?

theres a couple things i like about terence crawford. he never struggled with the b level guys like shawn porter did against julio diaz, or danny garcia did against mauricio herrera, or keith thurman did against josesito lopez. so he's unique in that sense. he has been dominant. in addition to the eye test, he has fought every style, so theres no particular type of fighter i can point to and say something like, well, this guy has the style to beat crawford; can you?
