It isn't Crawford's fault, but you can't really blame the crowd that wants to see him in a real 50-50 type of fight ASAP.
To be honest, he hasn't even been in a 60-40 type of fight, although you could argue Crawford/Gamboa was one on paper at the time that it happened.

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?
Thurman was being ducked at WW for a long time. Its not like he wasnt trying to fight Broner, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Malignaggi, & Maidana. However, once he became Champ, he fought Porter & Garcia.
Porter called out everybody and faced Brook, Broner, & Thurman.
Garcia wasnt even a WW for 5 minutes before I put demands on him as well too face top competition at 147. He fought Thurman & wants a rematch. What makes him different is he's the one who cleaned out 140....so names like Khan/Matthysse/Peterson would hold weight, but he already beat them at 140, so he doesn't wanna waste time with them again.
Spence everyone knows is trying to fight anyone at 147 and come January, would have Brook & Spence on his resume.
Crawford...he got excuses already built in by being signed with TR, but he doesn't have a resume which matches the hype. He's had more career fights than Thurman, Porter, & Spence...and only 2 less fights than Swift, but still hasnt fought anyone as good as any of them has fought.
So for me, until he gets in the ring with a legit good fighter, and wins, Im not buying into his hype of being the best fighter in the sport & #2 P4P.

"On that performance yesterday, even from what Joshua and Eddie Hearn both said, they don't want to get in the ring with Deontay Wilder just yet. Out of the two champions they will definitely target Joe."
Its becoming clearer & clearer

The only fight in boxing that makes sense at this moment in time (from both a business point and a 'it makes sense' point) ..... 
is Adonis Creed vs Danny 'Stuntman' Wheeler :P4PKing:
Especially after the beats he gave him in sparring
look at the scripted bodywork from our GOAT
'I told yall he wasnt ready. I told you'
Anything other than this as the main fight in Creed 2 is
Stallone better make it happen

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.
Now just imagine if Andre Ward stayed at 168, insisting that Golovkin move up to fight him, all the while claiming that he's being ducked. Imagine the slander Ward would endure if he pulled some bytch made shyt like that.
Fortunately, we're gonna look back and know the truth.
Ward won gold.
Golovkin got silver.
Ward cleaned out 168 and destroyed the competition at 175.
Golovkin let cokeboy de la hoya and Canelo dictate his career to the point where his prime was wasted on the likes of Geale and Rubio.
I just can't wrap my head around it: why should I pity the man who screams duck, but never moves up? I mean, if you can't get meaningful fights at your weight class, you move up! Furthermore, we just seen Crawford do two things Golovkin ain't ever done; 1. Move up a weight class; 2. Unify the 4 titles. Bud just accomplished more in two years than holovkin has his whole career.
Great fighters do great things. Bud gonna fight for a belt in a new weight class (his third now) while Golovkin is frantically trying to get Canelo to let him know what his next fight will be. Hell no, y'all really not about to catch me feeling bad cause Golovkin keeps getting 'ducked.' It's BEEN time for Borat to go on and do something for himself instead of constantly riding Canelo Cotto and Mayweather's names and careers. Waiting on the next damn man to give him a handout.

You getting mad cuz I'm bringing up GGG was ducked, but it's true. Sergio, Cotto, and Sturm all ducked him. GGG could have moved up, but the names at 168 weren't bigger than the names that ducked him and the one guy who wanted the fight was tied up in legal shyt. 168 was already cleared out and conquered and it's' just now getting decent again, whereas 160 is popping now after being a lil dry.
If GGG would have moved up, I wouldn't have blamed him, but he chose to stay and it finally paid off. My whole point is Crawford wasn't ducked by Burns or Gamboa which were the meaningful fights in his division at the time for him. He was able to clear out his division of the 3 biggest threats and move up. GGG wanted to do the same thing too, but his situation was different since he didn't get those meaningful fights right away. It's boxing tho and shyt happens.
Crawford been getting all of the right fights in order to move his career forward. He about to campaign in his 3rd division and he still hasn't faced a real threat, but at 147 we know something is going to pop so it's all good.
Ya''ll think Im blaming Crawford or hating dude, but I'm not. Just pointing out that he got a break early on his path while GGG on a similar journey didn't get his break until later. The difference is one of them has faced elite threats while the other hasn't yet. This should be plain as day, but I still had to break it down.
I don't pity any boxer and Im not asking you to pity any either. You going on about that shyt is
These nikkas making money doing what they want. Why would you even conjure up that thought.
at you shytting on winning an Olympic silver medal like those just fall out the sky after you win a random street fight. Obviously winning Gold is better, but Ward is great on his own. I'm sure he wouldn't agree with you shytting on someone else to big him up when you don't have too.
Swift crushing good names at 140 is the reason why most cats were 
when those Paulie and Ghost fights got made.
Same shyt happening with Bud, but with 2 divisions already conquered instead of one. Only difference is Danny beat 2 threats that were favored to beat him.

Not me...who he beat at 140 was inconsequential...i just thought they were shytty fights period with anti climactic endingsSwift crushing good names at 140 is the reason why most cats were

I feel you.
They weren't the best of fights, but I don't mind seeing Paulie and Ghost get smacked around so i was like
BTW, how many rds you got Swift losing by on your scorecards now. I know you like to fill them out a lil early.
As many rounds as it takes to see Danny make an adjustment lolI feel you.
