This was a worse beating than the two last week. Crawford fucked up him horribly. As I keep saying, he'll beat Pac's ass.
I think it's safe to say there's a pretty sizable gap between TC and the rest of 140. Postol's not beating him. Ohhhh, why oh why can't we just watch TC hospitalize Broner?
Crawford to me is a top 5 pound 4 pounder. He's easily one of the best fighters in the game today. I think he's too versatile and clever for Postol, and he's too hungry and too much in his prime for Pac in this day and age. If Mikey Garcia finds his balls, I'd like to see him step in the ring with Crawford. But he wont.
Crawford's resume isn't that good either. Gamboa is tiny and Beltran is a pretty shit fighter to be at the top of a division. The guy he fought tonight was cashed out because he was struggling with bums and getting hurt after losing to Lamont Peterson. Lampley was pissing me off being so proud of these showcase fights.
Mikey Garcia can't fight ANYBODY yet, his promotional issues have likely wasted his prime years. I'd rather see Craw beat up the other Garcia - Cherry.
On skill and ability alone, who can you see testing him? Postol is a good fighter - very solid fighter. I just don't think he's dynamic enough to deal with someone as overall gifted as TC. Imam is talented, and is a dangerous puncher, but I don't trust his chin. He's been dropped and hurt before and it wasn't even against a puncher. Provo is a punching bag. Matty Ice is probably coming near the end of being a force. That just leaves Broner....
And yet GGG had a career win over LePeux who was KO'd by Rubio then followed that performance with a points loss against Joachim Alcine. BTW, "tiny" or not Gamboa is still heads and shoulders above anyone GGG has fought. If Lampley pissed you off tonight for free, I have to ask if A). if you were one of the proud 150,000 or less 2) if you were did he piss you off last week as well. High comedy with GGG fans saying someone else's resume isn't good.
Ohhh for Christ sake, can we please keep GGG out this thread? We get it, you don't like Golov. There's plenty of threads posted currently to discuss Golov. This thread is about praising TC.
I don't mind Crawford but no his resume is not good. Notice I said showcase "fights" and no I wasn't 1 of them who bought it. Lemieux was coming off a couple of good wins but he had no real chance. Although he had a better chance than the bum Crawford fought tonight.
Even though 140 is a pretty mediocre division he still needs to fight some of those guy like Postol. He's very unproven at 140.
Craw = TR Broner = PBC Lucky for AB. The book is out on Broner. Haymon now officially knows that he can't beat anybody of quality. That's why he's being set-up to fight Ashley next.
