    He moves like a poor man's Pernell Whitaker, with above avg power and superb timing/handspeed. Damn, he's gonna go up the ranks soon. Good fighter.

    Thoughts???

    I think Mikey Garcia is closer to cementing his greatness than Crawford.. Also, the talent pool is a little shallow for establishing greatness: Abril, Bogare, Beltran etc. are not the best gang to bullet point a hall of fame resume.

    But your point is taken. Crawford sure seems to have the goods.

    Boxing fans are always putting the cart before the horse, and soon as the fighter takes a L, he's a hypejob bum.

    Never count your chickens before the eggs hatch.

    While he looks impressive, he showed flaws in his last fight and dare I suggest he might harbor a glass mandible?

    Time will tell, good luck to him though.

    Who knows? It could be possible but is it likely? I don't think so.
