Real Talk, Bud has had the easiest path to P4P lists that I can recall recently. Dude got there with some decent names and no real threats.
On some business protect your investment type shyt, I gotta respect that.
As a boxing fan I gottathat shyt.
this wasn't Arum being slick, simply the divisions he participated in weren't that strong that time
who do you think he should have faced but they avoided it...?
140 and 135 were just bad you can't do much about that
he still did his best actively looking for the best fighters those divisions had to offer
and this is why nikkas wanna see him face some threats at 147 by 2018.
Dude been getting by with the best available comp routine for years to the point we already established him as an elite fighter in 2 different divisions without facing a real threat.
You nikkas ain't give GGG that excuse so miss me with that shyt.
You nikkas begged for him to move up, but dude stayed and eventually got his big breaks after being ducked by guys like Martinez, Cotto, Canelo (for a while) hell even Sturm.
Crawford wasn't being ducked so it's not like he had to wait for names to go at him. He was the man (besides Broner)
I'm not even hating on Crawford. I love to watch him box because he has great skills with a mean streak, 2 things I like in a fighter. It's just that I wanna see how good he truly is when facing someone that's a threat to beat him.
I'm the nikka who made the term #ConsistencyCops and that's all I'm doing.
For example, the frustration ya'll have for #Superman is the same frustration I have for Crawford. I wanna see both them nikkas in meaningful fights in 2018. That's all I'm saying.
If I'm a boxer, why would I want to be promoted by the UFC?
Obviously MMA & Boxing are two completely different sports with different pay structures, but UFC's reputation of low pay is hard to ignore.

Elite fights at WW
Keith Thurman: 2 (2016, 2017)
Errol Spence: 1 (2017)
Shawn Porter: 2 (2014, 2016)
Danny Garcia: 1 (2017)
Career WWs didn't have to face an elite WW immediately or even for several years, but Crawford does.
I'm not arguing he shouldn't, I'm just peeping the scene.

Crawford better prove the hype
All that "bu-bu-but Im on Top Rank" excuses is trash. This dude is ranked #2 P4P with Viktor Postol as his best win
Make the fights....prove the hype
Even Broner got in there with killers knowing he would get his ass kickedCrawford better prove the hype

Hype and p4p lists are opinion so I ain’t gon argue em. I want the fights to happen too. You call them excuses but why didn’t any of your elite WW get a crack at Manny Pacquiao?
Chris Algieri, Jessie Vargas and Jeff Horn did.
Wonder why Bradley was able to get 3 of em.
TC bouta take the belt off a fighter who did what all them dreamed about...beating Manny Pacquiao same one they was chasing.
Are Thurman And Spence gon make the fight happen?

I think Crawford is ready for anybody at 147. I would say the same about anybody at the top of their division moving up to new one..
Don't bring up GGG in this conversation please.
Imagine if Crawford stayed at 135 waiting for LSC or Loma to move up instead of going to unify 140 + moving up to 147.
And didn’t fight an elite fighter until he was 35
I wonder where Crawford's career would be at if Burns and Gamboa would have ducked him like Sturm, Martinez, and Cotto did Golovkin.
We would prolly be just now getting the Dulorme and Lundy fights.
