    Not even close.

    Leonard has one of the best resumes of all time, and was one of the most complete fighters ever. He would have accomplished even more if he hadn't been forced to retire the first time.

    Yet more proof that this man will say anything to hype his fighter.

    How's this different than Floyd saying he's the best ever?

    You mean just like he hyped Pac and Loma as the best ever to? The man will say anything and tear down a fighter when they leave him, he's a snake.

    They also haven't talked about PEDs since Floyd was busted w/ a needle in his arm hooked up to illegal IVs.

    :rolleyes:

    OG Bob said ''since'' SRL but he also added that he would favour Crawford to beat SRL :lol:

    Dayuum!! The LDBC are going to be hating on Crawford like crazy for this, constantly citing that quote to use as a pretence for their hate and to prop up their argument for how overrated he is :lol:

    Still...That means that Arum thinks that TC is a better welterweight than Pernell Whitaker, Tito Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Ike Quartey, and Donald Curry, and FMJ...just for starters. Call me crazy... I don't think victories over Horn and Benevidez establish him in that company.

    Leonard would beat the **** out of Crawford. He was bigger, faster, and punched Harder.

    A prime titanium-jawed, TNT fists Jose Luis Lopez would KO everyone at 147 right now, and god knows what ungodly carnage he would inflict upon them if he actually trained properly for them.
