I don't think you understand boxing. Malignaggi isn't a gatekeeper and he's better than anybody on Crawford resume anyway. You can't be serious.

Crawford has one name on his résumé. A gatekeeper.

You just can't put Crawford in the same sentence as broner or any top tier fighter yet.

Ummmm I dont think you understand boxing bro. For his fight with Broner, Paulie was a gatekeeper-someone used as a barometer for Broners progress in general and ascension to 147 specifically. Dont tell me about his title cuz it was bogus. There are 5 belts floating around each division, and thats not including the ring. With the exception of DeMarco, Broner has not faced any top opposition. Paulie was his second real opponent. And Paulie exposed him using a jab and angles. More and more Broner seems like Meldrick Taylor instead of SRR, more like Berto instead of FMJr. Crawford is as much a contender as Broner is cuz both are unproven, young, but have potential.

slight correction Daniel Ponce De Leon was Broner's first real top opposition and Broner barely beat him (I personally had Ponce winning)

UNproved? You don't win titles at 3 weight classes and are allowed to use that excuse...Broner is a proven champion.

Agree with the Berto comparisons, but we haven't seen Broner in trouble......yet

Cause just like Danny Garcia, he don't want them MaBEAStthye problems

 

[Mr. Leonidas]

And FYI- Im hearing rumors that Crawford is being lined up for a fight against Gamboa. So we'll soon see whats really good. Meanwhile, Broners being lined up for Maidaina

Its gonna be worse when he fight a decent fighter, one that could throw a right hand and neutrilize his, dude only has one hand, if he aint digging to the body with his left, he cant do shyt with his left.

The perfect fight for Broner is Khan IMO

I'm not a broner fan and don't really like him. But you can't put crawfords name in the same sentence as broner.

That would be dope...

WHERE is Antonio DeMarco??????

 

[Mr. Leonidas]

Youre right! I almost forgot that gift decision. Im telling you, unless Haymon smartens up and starts cherry picking slow, aggressive, Mexican opponents for Broner like they did for FMJr, he will lose sooner than you think.

Proven? Lets look deeper-

1st title win against: Vicente Martin Rodriguez


2nd title win against: Antonio DeMarco


3rd title ?win? against: Paulie Malignaggi

Show me a Crawford win that's more impressive than them.

Ive boxed for 8 years, and have an amateur record of 12-1. I now rap on the side, co train boxers on the side, work full time at BOA Corporate, and I judge amateur fights in New England on the side.

I DONT think theyre equal wins, and I never said that either. What Im saying is both Broner and Crawford to me are still unproven. Cuz when Broner stepped up the first time, he got a Haymon decision against Ponce De Leon. Second time he thoroughly outclassed DeMarco, who himself isnt a known commodity either. Third time he stepped up was against Paulie, and he got outboxed by him.

Crawford had 2 televised fights, and both were impressive. Against Prescott he showed he can box, against the last guy he showed he can fight. All in all, my point is both are unproven, and tho both have tremendous upside and potential, they need to prove it against the best opposition.

 

[Mr. Leonidas]

IMO Crawfords win against Prescott isnt MORE impressive, but similar to Broners win against DeMarco in the sense that both displayed brilliant boxing technique. Of course DeMarco was and still is ranked higher than Prescott, but Im point more to how Crawford and Broner performed. Look, I have nothing against either dude. Im just saying that until they face better opposition, the jury is still out on both.
