Crawford is better than Leonard was, all Ray had over Bud was amazing speed, but I think Bud would have beat him, his switch-hitting would be too much for Ray.
Cant say I agree with you here. If Crawford is as great as you seem to think he is then he should take a leaf out of Leonard’s book and fight the best. FWIW, Leonard KOs Crawford late in my opinion. Too quick, also bigger and the heavier puncher with a proven chin (He took Hearns best shots at 147)
Yeah.... but he struggled against lesser fighters like Duran and Benitez who were both a level below Crawford
Imagine thinking Roberto Duran is a "lesser" fighter. SMH. Don't do drugs kids. Gamboa had Crawford hurt with speed. Sugar Ray would hurt Crawford badly and Sugar Ray was a savage finisher. Sugar Ray wins this every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Leonard definitely never held his own with a larger, harder hitting, more proven switch hitter coming off a three year layoff.
If you seriously think Crawford is a level above Duran then all i can say is your knowledge of boxing is a joke. Also Leonard would beat the crap out of Bud
Leonard. Completely different levels. Crawford was getting outboxed by tiny Gamboa. What do you think SRL, one of the best pure boxers of all time, would do?
Even with my sarcasm filter turned off this comment sounded....sarcastic. At least I hope it was sarcastic.
