    Bud's resume at 147 is sorely lacking. Oscar takes this.

    I think Crawford is better than both DLH and Mosley.

    Prime DLH beats him convincingly

    Oscar`s KO resume is sorley lacking at 147 and he never knocked out anyone as good or as big as Spence at 147.

    Just saying Bud is more dangerous at 147 and can take fighters out with either hand, Oscar`s right hand wasn`t that dangerous.

    Oscar had MUCH more quality at 147.

    Bud is a dangerous finisher with a 74 inch reach, he`d be a problem for any fighter in history.

    I think he would be. But w/o better competition, more difficult to tell. Even Andre Berto looked like SRL against his comp at 147.

    Berto never looked as good as Bud and could never have beat Spence.

    Not the point. It's easier to look amazing against lower quality fighters

    Terence has never seen an Oscar De La Hoya in his life.

    He’s also never seen a prime Tito, a prime Shane, a prime Manny, as well as a Pea, a Vargas, a Mayweather and a Hopkins etc.

    Yes, Oscar got a gift over Sturm. But that was at MW. A weight that Crawford has never been at.


    Now Oscar could absolutely have gone undefeated had he have followed Crawford’s timeline and fought his exact opponents.

    Oscar could absolutely have beaten faded versions of Spence, Brook and Khan etc.

    Yet there is absolutely nothing to suggest that Crawford could have remained undefeated had he have fought all of Oscar’s competition.


    It’s just another garbage troll type thread from you, where you only focus on the stats without allowing for any context.

    And Bud has never seen anybody as great as Oscar and his best competition.
