    No, Crawford is one of the most overrated fighters ever. I don’t even think he’s close to Oscar or Mosley

    Again, his three losses came to fighters who were less than the current crop of WWs

    So, Spence vs Crawford would be a step up in the 80s and 90s?

    I’m beginning to think you didn’t live through the 90’s

    when Duran and Leonard fought that wasn’t they first big fight or even they second, when hearns and Leonard fought they were 22/23, when de la Hoya fought Whitaker he was 21/22 I can keep going Floyd was lineal champ at 21. It’s only these new guys who spend they whole career running from each other fighting bums pushing off the fight until the last minute.

    Spence vs Crawford needs to happen but that fight is over due. And as it currently sits it ain’t no ATG from this era of welters these guys are average champs it’s a reason why a 40yr old Pacquiao can dominate a prime Thurman

    hopkins is a ATG MW Spence Thurman Porter have never even fought at 154 and Crawford in 3 divisions only has 1.5 credible opponent in total. B hop probably knocks all 3 out until we have any evidence to say otherwise

    He is in niether class to be honest.

    those mentioned had amazing resumes.

    porter is crawfords best scalp.
    He truly needs the Spence fight or his legacy will greatly suffer.

    How dare you compare Crawford to a primitive caveman like Duran! Don't you know that athletes get better?

    prime Kostya Tszyu would beat the **** out of Josh Taylor and then go up a division and probably beat Crawford.

    2001 Hopkins would have beaten every MW and SMW today. Spence/Crawford would get humiliated.
