Pound for pound greatness - Ring Magazine has him at #2 on their pound for pound list, and you’re likely to find some that call him #1 (not me, though - Lomachenko keeps that spot on my card). He’s been rising up those ranks for the past few years, and should Loma fall, he’ll be a lock for #1.
Dominating multiple divisions - Right now, Crawford is a world champion at Welterweight, and ranked #2 in the division behind Errol Spence. Prior to that, he was the undisputed king at 140 lbs., unifying all the titles there before leaving the division. Prior to THAT, he became the undisputed king at Lightweight. Every division he has been to, he’s become the king. Except one.
Where are the Welterweights? - Welterweight is a seriously stacked division, with Spence, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Manny Pacquiao, and Danny Garcia joining Crawford. This is just Bud’s third fight in the division, and that lack of longevity as a Welterweight is why he’s ranked #2. He’s fought Jeff Horn, Jose Benavidez, and now Khan. None of those are bad fights. But none are great either, and certainly not the fights people wanted when they envisioned Crawford coming to Welterweight. If he’s truly the world’s #2, he needs to get in there with the best.
Beating opponents up - There’s a certain pattern that has emerged to Crawford fights. He often starts a little slow in the opening couple rounds, then starts getting more loose, starts switching stances, and slowly turns up the pressure. As the fight goes on, he becomes more aggressive, more vicious, typically putting opponents away in the middle to late rounds. It’s been a brutally effective strategy so far.
55,000 - That’s how many buys Crawford did the last (and only) time he was on PPV when he faced Viktor Postol. That’s truly dreadful. But both Fury vs. Wilder and Spence vs. Garcia performed well, each topping 300,000. We’ll see if Crawford’s 2nd shot gets him in their company.
