If Crawford fights and beats Canelo at 168, better than Floyd all time?

    Up until his match with Spence I would have agreed with that, post Spence I'm not so sure.

    If he beat Canelo @ 168 he's up there with Pac and Duran in terms of modern greats

    Floyd really clowned Canelo in their fight. I scored it a shutout

    Undisputed vs undiputed, robbery champ vs robbery champ, this could be good.

    Canelo would crush bud at 168

    Crawford doing the obvious and demonstrating he’s just one big weight bully all along.

    Can someone name me one spectacular win for Crawford at 147? (Hint : it isn’t the drained , inactive shell of himself Spence )

    The guy hasn’t proved anything

    Crawford has always been the bigger. All the guys he fought at 135 looked like midgets next to him. Big at 140 and a fully fledged welter where spence cant make that weight anymore but still did. 154 would be fine for Crawford. I'd be impressed if he fought Canelo at 168, Anyone else would demand a CW at 162ish and Crawford would only do a small 8-10 pound cut whilst Canelo would do his big 25 pound cut which zaps you. Crawford would box rings about that ginger midget I'm sure of it, but Canelo would finally be the naturally bigger man.

    10 years ago and 23 pounds south from where Clenelo has competed...

    Floyd EASILY gets stopped by 160, 168, and 175 Clenelo. Clenelo might even send Floyd's head into the stands.

    Meh who cares. Canelo was a unified title holder and undefeated and the bigger man. Great victory.

    Floyd beat a green and drained Clenelo. You telling me it was the same Clenelo as the 160, 168, and 175 Clenelo?

    :lol:

    I honestly don't care. I still class it a great victory.

    I class Cotto as Pacquiao's best victory and people cry about he was drained and damaged, I don't care. It's a great victory.

    Stanley Ketchel jumped from MW, SMW, LHW, CW to HW vs Jack Johnson.

    Pazienza? Not saying Pazienzas win at 154 would be anywhere near the realm of a win over Canelo though. But he was the 135 pound titilst and jumped to win a belt at 154

    Don't know about better cause Floyd was terrific but it would be a huge achievement.
