    Well that right there explains exactly why he can be considered P4P no.1

    Amateur fights?

    He's not just a unique incredibly skilled two weight world champion within 10 fights he's also the greatest ever amateur. If his amateur career is a reason to fasttrack him then equally it must be factored into his current standing.

    I agree. So then why are you keep bringing up the point that he only has 10 pro fights as an excuse to not fight too competition?

    You're reading into my posts something that's not intended. I'm not a fan of any fighter i'm a fan of boxing. If it was up to me I would match all fighters against the toughest possible opposition EVERY fight. No "gimmes," no soft defenses, no easy touches. I couldn't care less about what any fighter earns, their life, career, anything.

    I'd have Loma facing Crawford at 140 next let alone Garcia.

    I'll be honest I'm beginning to hold the toying and cocky shat against him. Not his "greatness" and dominance but conduct while possessing overwhelming advantages as we saw last night. If you're superior...just hammer the nail don't tickle and tap it. Showmanship makes the sport go round but ffs they were running on like he was beating an elite when all he was doing as it went was carrying him to clown. Especially when the opponent was coming -up- in weight and conveniently stuffed into top rankings in a division he had never competed just to make another showcase easier to swallow. His reputation and rep was based on losses, however tough he was. For starters he can fight someone his own flipping size. He has 3 fellow champs in same division. Move to clear it out with Corrales being more likely as he was also featured on espn but I do think Berchelt would provide more of a contest. Davis would be good after a couple more fights, maybe, but think hell would freeze over before promotions work together. Or move up and be represent the weight you're already actually at. Forget all the Crawford stuff..lets slow the roll and do the time and advance properly not leap frog divisions based on anointed 'superiority'. Oh and don't get so cocky he takes wind up hooks he has no business being hit with. Boredom and that sort of thing becomes part of a guys overall presentation and it catches up quick.

    If Arum does a longer term deal with ESPN and guys like Lomachenko and Crawford are stuck there for several fights I just don't think ESPN will come up with the scratch to make fights like Lomachenko-Garcia or Crawford-Spence a possibility and that's even if Arum wants to make them which is questionable to say the least. Does anybody know the purses for Saturday night's fights or the purses for the upcoming Crawford fight?
