    Crawfords resume is pretty slim. Taking Tszyu

    Resume isn't really what we are talking about. I'm talking about a head to head fight

    So is Kostya's though... Neither guy beat as good fighter as the other in this fantasy match-up, I'd argue.

    Tszyu's resume is miles ahead of Crawfords. Let's be honest here.

    Turning young Judah forever into a meme is the best thing either man has done. I think either man could stop the other hard 2 pick honestly.

    Crawford would lay Tsyzu to waste. I’m 100% sure of it.

    I'm not convinced, my instinctive answer is I'd probably gave slight edge to Crawford to be honest (On resume) - although it's close and I won't argue, I'd have to look at that more closely to form an opinion - and I feel too lazy for it today ).

    It's hard for posters to separate resume and ability. Crawford has extra layers that could trouble Tsyzu. Tyszu has a great IQ as well, with a much simpler approach. Bud probably edges Kostya.

    Crawford with a better resume? I definitely don't see that. LaPorte and Mayweather are better than anybody Crawford fought just to name 2 early victories.

    Porter would’ve beaten both.
