    I see nothing to suggest Floyd beats Crawford.

    I respect your opinion. I liked Cotto a ton. He always came to fight. Porter absolutely beats the corpse of Cotto after Margs 1 (the Cotto that lost to Clottey, Pacquiao, Floyd, Trout, and Ali). Cotto from Mosley fight? I'd like to see it three times versus Porter from Spence fight.

    Nah the Sergio that Cotto fought held a training camp with zero sparring. That's how bad his knees were.

    I notice nobody was saying Porter was shopworn until after Crawford was the first to stop him. He was the same fighter who basically fought Spence even. He was just in with a supreme talent.

    Same with Spence. He was a wrecking machine until he got exposed.

    Not true. Porter had already lost to Brook, Thurman, Spence, and arguably Ugas. A lot of people were stating that Spence wasn't the same and was clearly weight drained.

    Why do you think resume doesn't matter? That's a crazy opinion for you to hold.

    No, I'm asking you because Cotto has a much better resume

    The disrespect Floyd gets is insane. Crawford has beaten Spence, that's his best and only win. Look at Mayweather's resume next to Bud's - they're not in the same league.

    Personally, I think Crawford is a slightly better fighter and would win h2h, but I think Cotto has the greater legacy.
