Crawford is the best ever.

stick him in with anyone from 135 - 168 in the history of time and he finds a way to win, don't come at me with guys from the 80's and 90's, don't let nostalgia rule you, athletes are better now than last century in every single sport, it's life, the future will always be better than the past.

 

yeah, even less likely to beat Crawford. Man said 'the 40's. Lol.

 

In swimming there are literally no world records from the last century, the oldest record is from 2008.
In athletics there are only like 7 or 8 from mid 80's earliest, nothing before.
Football players today are nigtht and day from the Pele era.
Body building / gym is night and day from the 20th century.
Golf they hit the ball way further.
In tennis they play 5-6 hour matches of intense play, last century was just serve and volley every point.

It isn't a knock on previous athletes, it's just the truth, due to improvements in science and equipment and training etc.

 

First of all Sugar Ray Robinson fought 3 times in the 40's.
In his 51st fight he beat a guy who had a record of 19-8-1. Lol, a few fights later he fight a guy with a record of 7-16-3. Lol.
Same as Chavez, just because he was like 90-0 people say he is the goat, lol Crawford could fight 100 tomato cans now with records of 7-16-3 and retire 140-0 lol, beating loads of bums padding a 100 fight record doesn't make you great.

 

good point. But most of those guys were roided to the gills, like roy jones for example.

 

Does my point not make sense? in his 51st fight he fought a literal journeyman with 8 losses in 28 fights, any elite fighter could fight 12 guys like that a year and pad a record to 100-0, it isn't that impressive, just like losing 19 times isn't that impressive, how is that a guy that is the best ever? fighting bums in his 51st fight and losing 19 times, one of those loses to a guy who had lost 23 fights, Plus you weren't young enough in the 50's to actually watch him. How is that hard to understand?

 

that isn't my argument, i just added that in, my argument is earlier in my comment 'he finds a way to win', which is what he would do, like going up 3 weights and walking Canelo down at times, no one expected that, whatever style he fought, he would find a way to beat them.
