Where are you getting this from?
based off of what I've seen so far. I like Broner and even thought he beat Paulie easy, but Crawford has the better tools imo.
why not?
Who has he fought to prove he's anywhere near that level yet?
Only name I see on his résumé is a past prime Prescott.

Prescott beat Khan and Khan obliterated Paulie.........................
There is no excuse for getting a gift vs a shopworn gate keeper, Crawford boxes the shyt out of Broner he aint shyt
C'mon son. That's not how boxing works. Prescott beat khan because he's a huge puncher and khan has on of the worst china chins in boxing.
I'm not sold on broner either but you can't be pulling names like Crawford out saying he will beat broner.

again, I am a fan but you can say the same for Broner (paulie and de leon were not major threats to me, Broner was in with them at that point of their careers for a reason), at best you couldn't put a fight between Broner and Crawford past a pick'em at this point. I would have to see/re-evaluate Broner after facing a legit threat before i can say he washes Crawford...fan of both cats by the way

Broner failed the gate keeper test, he dont get special privileges in theoretical matches anymore, from what we seen from Crawford he has all of the tools to box the shyt out of Broner
yeah its a shame his former manager stole his money like that....Ustinov is a big bum but this is way past prime version of tua..old, fat, and not motivated to get into the shape needed....power is the last thing to go and he has a puncher's chance if he can get inside ustinov..should he win he gets a retirement package payday from vitali because vitali will beat the daylights out of him...I don't want to see that

I wholeheartedly agree. :shake:
Paulie pretty much exposed how technically UNsound Broner's boxing acumen is. Never in a million years would I have thought Paulie could outbox Broner. The more and more I see Broner, the more I realize not only how green he is, but also how unlike Mayweather he is. So if Paulie, whos 32 and past his prime, could have that much success outboxing Broner, Crawford-whos young & technically very sound boxing wise and not even in his prime yet would have a good chance in my opinion to outbox him as well.
C'mon sons. @synistr
Give me your :youdonknowshytboutboxing: smiley
These fools trying to say Crawford can outbox broner because he struggled with malignaggi. As if Crawford is on the level of malignaggi. He's fought absolutely nobody. I don't know where all this Crawford dikkriding has come from

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.

I think Crawford can be ranked, just not in a top tier. He's faced better competition than Gary fukking Russel Jr.
Both are incredibly talented, but that means absolutely nothing against bad opposition. There are much less talented fighters who have achieved success against top tier guys and deserve more credit. Talent alone doesn't equal success.
With that said, both should be champions at 135 and 126 respectively, I truly believe that. Have they earned a shot? Russell Jr. no. Crawford can be argued...
And this ain't the 1920's, all that "Top guys are ducking me" horseshyt can see the door. Any fighter who claims to be ducked won't fight other tough guys on their level, everybody just wants that $$$$$$$$$$$$, don't believe the hype in 2013.
