Terence Crawford- the best P4P in the sport today!

Who can disagree? With his steady work rate and control of Benavidez, a really good fighter, and how he WAITED to KO him in the last round, shows you how good he is.

I would have to take Crawford over ANYONE at 147. We are simply watching greatness.

As I said before: I missed and did not take stock of Floyd Mayweather in the early years and came on late. But I will not miss ONE SECOND of Crawford!

I’m a big fan of Crawford, and although I believe he is ranked higher p4p than Spence, I think Spence will beat him at 147. To some that may sound stupid,but my p4p ranking goes on how he’s has sailed through the divisions, rather than Spence who is only doing it in one division so far.
As for no.1 p4p, I reckon it’s a toss up between Crawford and Inoue, and I can see legitimate arguments for both. These are probably followed by Usyk in my book.
Btw. I don’t think Loma , Mikey and Canelo are anywhere near it.

Easy to say when he won’t fight Spence. He had his chance, everyone was waiting to hear “I want Errol Spence” and he chose the cop out of I fight who I’m told to fight. Spence is out there “I see no smoke, I need a fight” in direct response to that cop out. Really disappointed by Crawford right now. Really disappointed by everyone around 147 dodging Spence.

A bit harsh, IMO.

1. He just got to 147. Two fights at welter does not constitute a wealth of experience there.

2. There are plenty of 147-pounders who have been there for awhile who ARE ducking Spence, and should have first dibs. The Spence-Crawford showdown will occur in due time. We fans are a desperate lot.

3. Even Spence should be calling out his fellow 147-pounders and let the spectre of that showdown grow.

4. Crawford fought top-notch opposition during his reign at 140. Why accuse him of ducking Spence as soon as he puts his foot in at 147, or assume he's not gonna want to face him?

A bit harsh, IMO.

Ron, you get carried away with the "He said, She said" nonsense . So he never mentioned Spence, that automatically means he's ducking him , right ? Even if he had turned around and spat Spence's name down the microphone with venom, that doesn't necessarily have any bearing on whether the fight can get made. there's a whole load of other obstacles and politics to overcome, and I know that you're not naïve and you already know that.
Do you honestly believe that as many Boxers as you state are cowards and duck other guys? Sometimes , it may be the case , but more often than not, the very nature of top class Boxers invariably means that they wouldn't run scared of another fighter.
Like I said before, I think Spence Beats Crawford, but I don't think Crawford is ducking or would duck him.

Crawford has never given me a reason to think of him as a ducker. He has fought anybody in his path. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had any elite fighters on his path so far, but he can only do so much. I don’t see anybody calling out Crawford. He is top 3 p4p on basically any list you will see. Other welters should be asking to fight him. Not the other way around.
