Crawford is the best ever.

Yet another goodbye from you but you'll be back and you know it...

 

You favour Crawford over Robinson then ?

 

You might as well say he beats Ali or King Kong to be honest, maybe he’d KO the T-Rex from Jurassic park just for good measure, Bud has that dog in him

 

Fair play to @phil rowe who has stuck to his guns in the face of scrutiny & vitriolic abuse. Commendable sir

 

Phil's got a granite jaw.

 

The granite is between his ears.

 

In reality i think the GOAT argiment is pretty rudimentry, there are far too many variables to consider. For me a much better way to judge is a small pool of fighters who are truly above elite level. Like a small percentage of HoF boxers who belong in that club. For me now Crawford does belong in that club.

 

Crawford isn't even the best boxer right now, which is Usyk. I wonder why, oh, I really do wonder why, @phil rowe somehow thinks Crawford is greater, despite his thin record.

 

Crawford is a top fighter no doubt about it but to say the best ever is crazy talk. His record is really poor and doesn’t have much depth. He has won a shed load of belts but it’s not like he destroyed divisions of killers to get them.

His best win was moving up two divisions to beat Canelo and he was still favored to win, shows how much Canelo has declined. Gamboa looked 3 divisions smaller than Crawford when they fought. Then he’s got a Win against a shot Khan and Brook. Spence win also questionable after his awful car accident.

I agree with the posts saying he’s not even the best of this generation which is true. He certainly isn’t the best fighter right now let alone a generation or of all time.

 

We need a Wall of Shame of BoxingForum24 LOL!

 

But you didn't mention boxing.
They fought far more career fights, they fought 15 rounds, they used smaller gloves, fights were stopped later. Most of the metrics used to measure boxing show that the boxers of the 1940s and 1950s performed in a more demanding environment.
I often read comments that today's boxers are "fitter" ... well, they should prove it then. When the top fighters all fight about 100 fights in a career, when they go 15 rounds with small gloves, when they win and lose in fights where referees are less inclined to stop.

 

So, if Crawford ever loses a fight, you'll bin him off?
