    Who was zoo's best win? Zab judah?? Stop acting like zoo has a great resume because he doesn't. He also has a horrible loss to Phillips in which he was stopped. He also never dared to be great instead of moving up to fight guys like oscar mosley ike or tito he hid out at 140 feasting on a shot chavez and crack heads like Phillips who pushed his **** in.

    Tszyu is way more proven, it's ridiculous to compare them right now.. Crawford has a lot of work to do, his resume is very poor despite picking up the titles, there's some prospects in other weight divisions that have a better resume than him lol

    He could but don't think he will because to many good fighters at welter but his some how thanks to Bob his getting the easiest title fight and after he wins because horn isn't very good his more then likely to still chase fight against a shot Pacquiao or fight lower level guys because if he fights the really top guys his getting exposed he can't be the weight bully anymore imo

    Too old school, got to go with Kostya. Judah vs Crawford would be a good fight too.

    I think Crawford can beat anyone at 147 except Spence and thurman is a 50/50 he beats garcia porter horn pac vargas and everyone else at 147.

    It will be interesting to see how he handles a top fighter that he doesn't have a size advantage over and his getting pushed back imo his gonna struggle when he doesn't have it all his own way and he will not when he finally fights top level guys that are bigger

    Dude don't act like you wouldn't be favoring Zab to whip Kostya if that fight never happened in real life lmao.

    Downplay prime Judah all you want, but he's the best name on either resume, and you know it.

    In all fairness I believe that Tszyu would beat everyone on Crawford's resume. I also think that Crawford would beat everyone on Tszyu's resume with prime Hatton being the only toss up.

    He came back from it because he didn't rematch Phillips.

    Yet it's still infinitely better than Crawford's. Hurtado murders everyone on TC's resume and i'd give him a very good shot at beating TC himself. Hurtado (5'11) was comfortably beating Sweet Pea through 11 rounds and this was the fight before Pernell got robbed against a prime DLH.
