Ginger nuts has consistently beaten better opposition than Crawford (not including the oh so dodgy GGG win). We don't really know how good Crawford can be cos his resume is so pants and he's running out of time to build a strong legacy. At the moment Ginger nuts is p4p #1 and a win over The Plank will cement that position.
Canelo higher p4p and its not close, to me. As for skills. Canelo on skills only because I need to see more from Crawford against higher level guys.
Probably a tie. Crawford is better and doesn’t play the weight drain opponents diva game like Canelo. On the other hand, Canelo has a better resume. But Crawford has never needed a gift on the scorecards like Canelo did against GGG in at least the first fight. Hmm, let’s call it a draw. I wish Canelo would stay at 160 and unify. Some of those guys at MW are probably tougher than guys Canelo will fight at SMW and Canelo has no interest in LHs like Beterbiev and Bivol. If he fights Beterbiev and loses but looks good, I would give Canelo PFP props. Crawford is a better fighter by a long shot, but Canelo deserves to be in the conversation for what he’s accomplished even if he’s needed a thumb on the scale every once in a while. Of course if Crow beats Spence and Manny down, and unifies at Welter, he gets to wear the PFP crown.
I like Crawford more than Canelo, but the quality of his opposition is obviously not as good. So I reluctantly chose Canelo in the poll.
Although both big weight bullies which atributes alot to their earlier success, Canelo on paper has now challenged himself more fighting shot Kov over his natural weight. Crawford could easily go up a division still with no ill effects..
