I admit that competition at LWW is not the strongest possible, and 2018 might be very difficult for Crawford at WW, but for this year he ought to be undisputed #1.
When it comes to Crawford the achievement clearly outweighs the task. He just happened to be in a weight division in which the cold war between promoters didn't inhibit a fighters chance to fight the one with the other belts. Diaz and Indongo fights were a waste for fans eager to see Crawford in with the best fighters. He's clearly got the talent to be FOY but cherry picking titles doesn't get you there in my book.

Cherry picking titles? come on mann?!
That fight with Indongo was made for one reason only and that was to grab all of the belts. I knew the fight was going to be a loser and that Indongo wouldn't even put up a good fight and fans would be disappointed. And that's exactly what happened. Crawford needs to begin to fight the biggest fights. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.

You're the first person I've heard say they were disappointed in that fight. Again, you simply can't cherry pick all the titles in a division. Stop embarrassing yourself. Ftr, indongo never impressed me either.
