i talked a lot of shit about his career at 147, but i think we all have to admit he is the man now. he has all 4 belts and he absolutely dismantled the only guy in the division who looked like a legitimate rival. since moving up to WW he's knocked everyone out and took all the belts. granted, he dragged his feet for fucking years, but he did eventually do it.I honestly don't really care about him. He's never going to be a real factor in a division at this point, just inserting himself into big money fights every 2 or 3 years that he never really earned that no one really cares to watch.
and before that he unifed 140, where he also finished everyone except postol. it's hard to say he isn't a factor in a division when every division he enters he eventually cleans out, with knockouts.
i hate his cautious approach to taking fights, but the bastard is 40-0 and looks fresh every time he fights. who's to say he isn't going to wreck havoc at 154? if charlo hadn't fucked around with canelo and kept all his belts, bud could've taken his third division straight by blasting him out of there. as it is, he can get them in 3 fights, and if he enters the division by beating up a title holder in madrimov, we can't really bitch about it.
i'm not a big fan of crawford but i have to begrudgingly give him credit. he's a bad motherfucker and his fights are exciting. come on. we're all watching.
