How does Bud Crawford fair against Sugar Ray Leonard ?

Yes, this is a very relevant question.

And it seems that the man in charge of the fight (the man George Foreman called the most important man in the ring, not counting the two fighters ), decided that he did not.

This has happened in other fights.

Zab Judah made a practice of claiming foul in order to get out of continuing.

BHop embarrassed himself with his antics during his WIDE POINTS LOSS to Calzaghe.
He seemed to be angling for an Academy Award nomination in the 10th round.

 

Bud`s a faster counter puncher than Ray was and his switch-hitting would bother Ray too, he could also match Ray`s long reach.

 

It was straight in his nuts.

 

No, not many punches landed in the awful B-hop vs Calzaghe fight plus B-hop got a 10-8 round too, every other round was boring and full of spoiling, awful fight.

 

Since you seem to be arguing your original point..."It literally won him the fight by TKO".....on purely technical grounds, I would have to say that what I believed regarding the blow would be irrelevant.

I believe that Pacquaio won his first fight with Bradley by a score of 118 - 110, but the judges ruled in Timmy's favour. Therefore, Timmy won the fight.

In the 1972 bout, Duran won the fight by stoppage.

 

Who is Crawfish's best win again?

Not even a comparison.

Half of his damn resume at WW retired after fighting him. Porter, Spence, Brook & Khan were shot to pieces.

 

Buchanan went down from a low blow and the ref stopped it, have you seen the incident?

 

Saw it live and once or twice since.

 

Well didn`t you see the punch land low?

 

Jesus man, try and keep up.

I'm not typing all that over again .

If you're curious as to my take, read ALL my previous posts (and cross trainer's responses) starting at post # 14.

 

I would make Leonard a wide favourite.

Bud's good, but there are levels.

Who has he beaten that compares to Benitez, Buran, Hearns, or Hagler ?

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything Crawford can do for people to even think he’s competitive with Leonard at 147lbs, I however, do think he’s competitive with him, whether he’d win or not, I’m not sure, I’d be doubtful right now, but if he beats Canelo, I’d pick him to beat Leonard, he will have proven enough if he somehow pulls that off.

 

Great fight. Think Crawford has more power and is physically stronger and a better sharpshooter but Leonard hand speed and defense plus inside fighting give him an edge

I doubt either guy gets stopped
