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 stated, “They hated all of the greats.”
Lack Of Elite Wins
Crawford is just not a terrific 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 outcome could be unfavourable.
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 want a deeper resume with high-level wins than those he has.
Path To #1

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 needs to be nowhere close to the #1 spot within the pound-for-pound rankings or #2. Given his weak resume, he needs to be down beneath round 10 to fifteen.
They hated on all of the greats. Nothing new beneath 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, automotive 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 regarded good since his automotive crash 4 years earlier.
Apart from that win in opposition to 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 automotive crash
High quality Of Opposition
– Errol Spence: Publish automotive crash– Shawn Porter: Finish of profession– Israil Madrimov: Razor shut– Kell Brook: Washed up– Amir Khan: Similar as above– Ricky Burns: Late in his profession– Yuriorkis Gamboa: Two divisions above his weight class– Jose Benavidez Jr: Publish-gunshot wound
