Terence Crawford reacted to Shakur Stevenson coming to his protection, saying that “each high fighter” charges Bud as #1, however the writers view him at #2 pound-for-pound. As an alternative of Crawford being modest, he mentioned, “They hated all of the greats.”
Lack Of Elite Wins
Crawford will not be an amazing fighter as a result of he’s not overwhelmed any of the elite at 154, 147, 140, or 135. There are fighters at 154 to 168 that Bud might battle to attain the #1 spot, however he’s not going to battle them as a result of the tip end result can be adverse.
NOT each high fighter charges Crawford at #1 or #2 pound-for-pound as a result of his resume is just too skinny to be positioned within the high two spots within the rankings. To be the #1 pound-for-pound, Crawford would wish a deeper resume with high-level wins than those he has.
Path To #1
Bakhram Murtazaliev
Janibek Alimkhanuly
David Benavidez
David Morrell
Osleys Iglesias
Diego Pacheco
If Crawford might beat these guys, nobody would argue that he doesn’t deserve #1 pound-for-pound. However he’s not fought any of these guys, and he doesn’t intend to. So, Crawford ought to be nowhere close to the #1 spot within the pound-for-pound scores or #2. Given his weak resume, he ought to be down beneath round 10 to fifteen.
They hated on all of the greats. Nothing new below the solar. https://t.co/TUVCpoGaXv

The one notable win Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) has on his 16-year resume is a washed-up, automobile crash, ring rusty-sion of Errol Spence. The previous unified welterweight champion Spence was coming off a 14-month layoff, had misplaced 50 lbs in coaching camp and hadn’t appeared good since his automobile crash 4 years earlier.
Aside from that win towards an inactive, depleted shell Errol, there’s nobody, and he was nothing like he as soon as was after crashing his Ferrari in a high-speed accident on October 10, 2019. The Ferrari was a pile of junk from their automobile crash
