People act like Floyd dominated DLH. The fight was competitive and a draw couldve been called. It was NOT some master class by Floyd who also struggled to land anything meaningful.
What a clueless biased statement, he's cleared everyone 147 and below and stepped up 3 divisions to beat the arguable P4P no1 (which turned out to be P4P no3)
DLH the guy who got schooled by a past it coked up Whitaker, outboxed by Quartey in most rounds and ran for his life against Tito.
Which of these guys at 147 would call elite at the time they fought? Jeff Horn Amir Khan Kell Brook Jose Benevidas who hasn't beaten anyone of note Errol Spence who came off a car crash injury Shawn Porter who then retired
Some do. It was a good performance by FM considering the circumstances. Not his best weight and had to come in heavy per the clause. Good, close fight. But, as you stated, not a dominant performance.
The amount of crap I've seen typed in this thread has made me shake my head. ODLH would've run through Crawford's resume with ease apart from Canelo at Super Middleweight as ODLH never competed at that weightclass. But ODLH would've beat the 154 pound version of Canelo I'm pretty certain of. Canelo was also considerably past it when Crawford fought him and that's why he took the fight. Canelo had been going through the motions in the past 4 years having 0 stoppages and going 12 rounds in dull fights. Canelo hadn't fought a real dangerous opponent in years and was ducking Benavidez. It was clear Canelo was at the end of the road and that's why i picked Crawford prior to the fight. And then who else is there on Crawford's resume ? Spence who was in 2 car crashes and showed signs of having CTE ? A washed up Kell Brook ? Amir Khan ? Gamboa who had no business at Lightweight it was a total mismatch in size ? Crawford is a great talent and his achievements are stand out. But his opposition and resume are certainly not stand out at all. ODLH was facing prime elite fighters with huge power like Quartey, Mosley, Tito, who never came close to stopping ODLH. And the only one who stopped ODLH when he was really active and not way past his prime was an ATG huge Middleweight in Hopkins. And yet you've got posters here suggesting that not only would Crawford beat ODLH with ease that he'd also stop ODLH ? The biggest load of crap I've ever seen. Stick Crawford in ODLH's era and let's see how he fares against prime versions of Mayweather, Tito, Mosley, Tito, Quartey. Crawford had a close fight vs Madrimov for crying out loud he's not unbeatable folks.
Nothing you said was wrong. DLH couldve lost to Pernell and Quartey but people just look past that. And yes he shouldve won Tito and Mosley 2. Even still, best version of Crawford beats every person on DLH resume. Seriously. I rate Crawford among the four Kings. He cant control that Danny Garcia ducked him, that pre-accident Spence ducked him, that Thurman, Fundora, Tszyu, etc., all passed on fighting him. Yes, the Madrimov fight couldve been a draw. DLH fights nothing like Madrimov and Crawford fights similar to Pernell, Quartey, Floyd, and BHop. Not just because theyre all black, though they are and maybe its a cultural thing, but Bud had a boxer puncher style that wouldve resulted in DLH tagging him and DLH getting tagged. Bud's chin and resilience and clutch factor are simply better.
There's no truth to that. All four of those guys you mentioned, were tested against top guys at 147. This is who TC faced at 147: Jeff Horn Amir Khan Kell Brook Jose Benevidas who hasn't beaten anyone of note Errol Spence who came off a car crash injury Shawn Porter who immediately retired Mosley in his first fight against Oscar looked every bit earning of the name Sugar. Tito had dynamite in both hand and was a much faster, a better mover and boxer then he looked trying to fight above 154. Doesn't matter who ducked him. He doesn't get an automatic win or benefit of the doubt because they didn't happen. Before TC, Madrimov hadn't beaten anyone. Since TC, he hasn't still. And no, TC does NOT fight similar to Pernell, Quartey, Floyd, and BHop. That's quite the statement to make considering NONE of those guys even fought similarly themselves. Of course TC would tag Oscar. EVERY BOXER GETS TAGGED. But at 147, Oscar had very fast hand, had size and a good jab, was a damn good boxer, and rock solid chin. And obviously Oscar would hit TC a whole bunch too. That's pretty much boxing.
Mayweather beat Oscar 7 rounds to 5. I was going for Oscar in that fight but he lost it fair and square.
You are the one that is clueless. What on earth is biased about my statement?? Which elite level fighters did he fight, who were in their prime?? He didn't fight the competition that Oscar did. So there is a huge question mark, on whether or not he could definitely have beaten Oscar with ease.
Oh my. And you say that I'm the clueless one?? He didn't get schooled by Pea at all. It was a very close fight. Oscar's tactics were poor against Tito, but he'd already won the majority of the rounds. The Quartey fight was also close. And?? Quartey was a very capable fighter. I could say that Terence barely beat Madramov. Again, Terence has done nothing for anyone to predict an easy win over a prime Oscar. His resume and competition were awful. Of course that wasn't his fault. But just compare their opposition. It's a laughable comparison. You are clearly the biased, clueless one.
