    Surgar Ray Leonard was better at just about everything than Crawford. He was also taller, naturally heavier and had longer arms. He was the best fighter I have seen in my lifetime of watching boxing, 40+ years. And just to put it into perspective, I think Crawford is #1 today.

    amazing how Khan gets another top fight without doing much for it. What else will Arum say? He wants to promote.

    He punched harder and showed power against better opponents than the scrubs that Crawford has faced.

    At the end of the day I don't think many will think Crawford was the equal of SRL but Bud has immense technical skills and toughness that are underappreciated in part because he doesn't have the charisma and flashiness of Leonard.
