Terence Crawford?

[IamInuit]

Many of you may not question this because generally UK fighters are developed more slowly but.... Why was Terence Crawford in his 7th year as a pro before going for a title?(I realize Crawford is from the USA, just saying it may not stand out as much because UK fighters tend to go through levels)

For the respect he gets on his talent his cv is rather sparse. Why isn't it ever mentioned? Even now there are much better fights to make at 140 than what they have made and there is talk of him moving on before making any of them. Why does he get a pass?

Brits face much more challenging comp also sooner then North Americans save the Mexicans. That is important to mention. Way tougher domestic level then this playground of padding.

Crawford looks different to me at 140. Maybe a little drunk with success. Jean is a bit of a spoiler here imo and I doubt Crawford stops him.

He headlines in a few hours and very little to no talk or fight thread about it. Just over 2 yrs ago he was filling in as a last minute replacement for Khabib Allakhverdiev ...as undercard to Brandon Rios . Hardly favoritism or pass. Kid earned everything he has and its good they let him marinade and grow into 140. Pretty shifty style for him tonight, be good to see how he adjusts.
