    I'm probably in the minority, but I think Crawford would win. He's mentally tougher, better defensively, and doesn't fade in late rounds.

    In what fight has Crawfords mental fortitude been tested on a level similar to Hoya's fight with Quartey?

    He's mean. He breaks fighters apart in the second half of fights, and seemingly does it more brutally if they test him in the first half.

    Quartey himself had issues with focus late in fights.

    Crawford never overcame adversity like Hoya did. He's mean against guys Oskie would have split in half

    Quartey would be too much for Crawford.

    I mean, Crawford over DLH isn't the most far-fetched prediction of all time.

    If we were talking Crawford vs Leonard, I'd say Bud has zero chance.

    He definitely has a chance against Oscar. But I wouldn't favor him.

    I think DLH's handspeed, power, and jab would be too much for Bud.

    Absurd. Ike had one dimension.

    I would take DLH but I imagine this would be a tough close fight. Not sure Crawford will get much love in the classic forum,...but then again people don’t seem to like Oscar a whole lot either lol.

    De La Hoya by stoppage. And, I am not even a huge fan of Oscar.

    I think Crawford would outbox Oscar. Better defense and a better ring general. In his competitive fights against elites Oscar always was a very poor ring general. Very inactive against Quartey, imo lost. Ran from Trinidad and gave the fight away. Fought Mosley's fight and lost.

    Quartey jabbed Oscar's head off and got robbed.
