    I was nodding my head reading that until you put Loma and Rigo in the same bracket as Ali, SRR, SRL, RJJ, Floyd and the rest. LOL. Loma is only barely on the level below that and Rigo arguably shouldn't be on it at all.

    I don't know, have you ever watched ODLH and just thought, "wow, how can a human being do that, he looks like a superhero in there", because I have when I see RJJ in his prime, or Tyson literally looking like a superhero, Floyd making people miss and counter in slow motion just makes me think wtf, and Loma literally looking like the matrix. These guys are special in a way that they are jaw-dropping, I question if they are even human making the moves they make.

    Crawford, ODLH, Hopkins looks excellent, they have great physical attributes, but you can't say its something like you've never seen before. Show me Ali before Ali, RJJ before RJJ, Loma before Loma, Pac before Pac, Tyson before Tyson - never seen anything quite like it, its special.

    Special doesn't always mean the best in my eyes, its just something jaw-droppingly special to that person.

    Crawford had 18 fights with NO promoter. Once he signed with Arum he immediately beat Prescott on HBO and gave 10 lbs. He fought Burns 4 bouts later. The idea that you can compare the amount of bouts it took to get a championship fight is idiotic and has no bearing. Few are given the opportunity to immediately with a big name promoter.

    I understand what your saying but to be honest yes when i watched Delahoya in his prime i did used to think wow how can a human have such lightning speed combinations and such good balance and footwork. When i saw hopkins win world titles at the age of 48 I also thought the same. I agree with what your saying though special is subjective.

    Well I think he is special in that once he decides to drop the hammer and close the show he switches to southpaw and it's game over.
