    Similarly to RJJ vs FMJ if of same weight/class. With all their abilities, skills, and experiences. Crawford and JMM would not be so far apart, as Bud fought at lower weights after all. Again, if of same weight/class, not someone moving up or down.

    Roidquez has one of the greatest victories in the welterweight division. Roidquez can easily KO Bud w/ one of his nuclear right hands.

    I think Crawford beats Marquez at LW (I say this as a big Marquez fan). I think he outboxes him, Marquez had the ability to be out dueled at times.

    crawford has 'calzaghe syndrome'.
    he's not fighting the best fighters available to him, but people want to give him props over higher achieving fighters based on the fact he looks good against sub-par opposition.

    Stylistically you could say Crawford is in a good position but in terms of achievements he has NOTHING that puts him in Marquez league.

    Crawford outboxes jmm wide ud.
    If jmm was on that heredia ****, he might land a bomb and sleep crawford 1 outta 10 times, maybe.
    Punchers chance at best

    Crawford has'nt fought anyone of real note. The best fighter he's fought was Danny Garcia and Marquez is well above the league of Garcia.

    Crawford is not like Floyd Mayweather he comes to fight so to me from what I've seen of Crawford, I'd pick Marquez by decision scores ranging from 6-4 to 7-5.

    Stated like a true prodigy. I couldn't have said it better myself. It makes his ability hard to measure.

    When did Crawford fight Danny Garcia exactly?

    To be fair Crawford has fought good opposition just not another fighter who has had success in multiple weight classes and Ricky Burns doesn't count

    My mistake, it was Spence that fought Garcia, Crawford fought a fading Brooks.

    Crawford's oppostion is decent, but nowhere close to A level, so its hard to say what his probablities would be against a real top tier fighter like Marquez.

    Crawford has the tools to but JMM is a class above for me. Im tied of Crawford tbh, obviously a top fighter but means nothing in the grand scheme of things when fighting sub-par opposition.

    KTFO6. Traumatizing stans well into the next decade and beyond.

    On topic: Since JMM can't be stopped, has a higher work rate and better resume, he'd have to be the favorite but my gut calls it 50/50. What a fight it would be.

    No trauma. KO6 actually hurt JMM's legacy because the world knows, including YOU, that he was juiced to the gills. Terrible way to end his career showing up to the Alvarado with acne all over his chest and back. Meanwhile Pac broke more records beating Keith's ass 7 years later.

    :deal:
