    Crawfords desturction of Spence is better than Whitaker beating 144 pound Chavez (best weight at 130 and never won a title above 140) by decision.

    You realize that Chavez was way past his best fighting weight when he fought Whitaker ?

    As I have already written, overall Whitaker has faced better opponents than those Crawford faced, but you can't argue with Terence's greatness. It's true that Chavez will never become world champion in the welterweight, but that was a competitive Chavez in my opinion, so I consider that victory (because he had won) of Whitaker a good victory, even if he has obtained better ones.

    I agree that Crawford's victory over Spence is more important than Whitaker's victory over Chavez.

    No it wasn't 50/50 fight.

    Don't be daft he was in a horrific car crash and doctors have said he had neurological damage before the fight.

    If you honestly think Spence looked fine vs Crawford then I don't know what to say.

    Hagler can fight in both stances but he isn't more versatile than Floyd, Leonard, or Jones

    Crawford is ahead of those guys I highlighted

    The idea that he's not in their class is laughable
