    Crawford has proven he is the best US fighter of this generation. I also think that he has surpassed Mayweather and Andre Ward in terms of greatness as Crawford is a no nonsense guy who isn't some A side Diva. His resume in terms of big names may not stack up but he doesn't have any questionable wins and he hasn't used any questionable tactics. The win over Spence I believe is a better win than any win on both Mayweather and Ward's resumes.

    Hard disagree, man. Spence was dead on the scales and when he was walking to the ring, it looked like a strong wind would have dropped him hard.

    Let's slow it down now. Mayweather once WAS where Crawford is when no one wanted to fight him until he landed the De La Hoya fight.

    Andre Ward had it tough too. Ward was also a no-nonsense fighter who always came to win on fight night and cleared out the Super 6. Then went on to fight the toughest light heavyweight in Kovalev.

    Crawford like Floyd and Andre is in a league of his own. Plus, I hate these types of threads because they are only done on black fighters (check the history). I've never seen a Golovkin is ATG over Klitchko thread or some **** like I see with (name black fighter here) vs Floyd, Leonard, Jack Johnson or something.

    Saying Crawford beats Mayweather H2H is one thing, but Crawford isn't greater than Mayweather resume wise

    You got to be off that edible if you genuinely believe this

    Thread title says ATG US fighter has nothing to do with race. I seen plenty of threads saying Fury or Usyk has surpassed other ATG's. Crawford literally just became the first ever 2 time undisputed champion beating a fellow top P4P fighter. Floyd played weight games and waited fighters out, Ward played weight games and fought with questionable tactics also never left the US for a fight even in the super 6.

    Not sure if I agree with that last point. There was a thread recently on if Inoue had surpassed Harada (He hasn't btw but he probably will by the end of his career.) Personally don't think ATG comparisons are limited to black fighters on this forum.

    EDIT: To clarify I am not denying that there is racism in the forum. I mean one look at the lounge will disprove that lol. I'm just saying this isn't an example of it. Hope you have a good day.

    My OP says resume doesn't stack up. I am saying there is no smoke and mirrors when it comes to Crawford unlike Mayweather who would not be unbeaten if he actually fought fighters in their primes.

    Just curious, so who's done what Crawford has done in this generation from any country?

    Usyk has won belts at CW and HW. If I'm not mistaken, the CW was all the belts. He doesn't have all the HW belts because he's being shamefully ducked by the other belt holder. And against better opponents in those weight classes but that's just my opinion.

    So what? Jesus, you act like Crawford just found a cure for cancer. Crawford moving up 7 pounds pales against Usyk moving up and fighting guys 30 pounds heavier than he is and 60 pounds more when he gets in against Fury.

    Usyk is 1 fight, one, from doing what Crawford did and against much better competition. So Crawford hasn't done what Usyk has done.
