The video of the car accident was talked about a lot, speculation he was at very least partially compromised was talked about ever since. Didn’t he have a retina issue or something ? I didn’t wanna hear it because I was a supporter, but his downfall was predicted by several posters here alone. Ugas and Garcia seemed like quality wins until Barrios and ancient Lara destroyed both those guys.
yeah i've been shitting on bud for years, but his resume before 147 was more than solid.
Taylor is one of the most overrated undisputed champs ever and Teo beat him when he was in terrible form, nowhere near his prime. The Loma win was great, but 1 great win doesn't overshadow the body of work. Teo routinely looks terrible against mediocre opposition, Crawford looks stellar against pretty much all opposition even if he doesn't have the best resume.
Revisionist history based on Lopez making him look bad. The Catteral fight happened waaaaay before Lopez fought him and most still picked Taylor to beat Lopez. No one at 140 had a better resume than Taylor.
Lopez was the underdog because of his mental health issues and out of the ring life problems, it had little to do with Taylor. Anyone with eyes saw that Taylor lost to Catterall in a pedestrian performance. Taylor just wasn't that good.
Come on, Crawford doesn’t always look stellar, he looked suspect against guys who had no business in there with him, his supposedly most dangerous fights are the ones where he looks like a god
well i said "pretty much", not always. If you look at Crawford's resume, it's fairly hard to find sub par performances. He's only human so of course there are some poor performances but he has excellent consistency. Meanwhile every other Teo fight he looks like ass.
I still don't see it. Gamboa was an Olympic gold medalist and a unified title holder, Porter was a 2x title holder had fought every notable name in the division.
oh man that's some bullshit. he took everyone's cherry at 140 and he looked spectacular all the way to the catteral fight. we were all raving about what a crazy achievement it was to take the WBSS tournament, cleanly beat all the undefeated guys there, and unify all belts.
well call me a hater but i always thought 140 was a wack division lol. I never really rated Jose Ramirez OR Prograis. I just think Josh Taylor was the best of a mediocre bunch. But maybe i'm being unfair, i don't know.
It’s hard to say when Taylor and Prograis were considered the top of the division and they were both blanked 12-0 by lightweights, but if 140 is so wack I guess we can finally stop celebrating Crawfords unification of it, because he fought even lesser guys than Taylor or Prograis who the LWs just jobbed out. Tbh, Taylor had a better resume at 140 than TC by a lot.
Oh I absolutely think Crawford’s undisputed 140 is overrated, I mean he took 2 belts off Julius indongo lool. I’m telling you, 140 is wack.
