    Crawford hasn't been in with elite competition (shrugs)

    That's an issue isn't it. His best opponent has been Porter and suddenly he wasn't the dominant force.

    So, you consider Porter "Elite?" I could make the argument that leo Santa Cruz is a better overall fighter than Porter

    What I said was Porter was his best opponent, and suddenly he didn't look as dominant.

    In many ways these guys are opposites. Tank exclusively cherry picks these days and fights only guys he knows he can beat, he gets lazy, often outboxed but has good power to bail him out. Mentally weak undisciplined fighter and a punk outside the ring. Porter would fight anyone and was a warrior. He didn’t have elite skills but was a great athlete who gave every opponent a tough fight. Classy guy outside the ring too.

    Total opposites. I keep hoping Tank steps up opposition but he’s riding the bum train for the foreseeable future.
