    My post was a joke.

    Crawford isn't better than Oscar on any level. As I mentioned in a previous thread Craword has been larger than the vast majority of his opponents and I think he would struggle with Oscar who is a little taller fast hands good combos and good power at the weight.
    Yes he got beat at that weight but only by the very best.
    Crawford has just fought a very good and game Porter in his mid 30's so is nowhere near the ATG rankings just based of one fight.

    Did Oscar ever fight a fighter like Porter? I don't think so

    Sure he did. Iqe Quartey is one. Or do you mean an aggressive high energy fighter? In that case, manny pacquaio and shane Mosley.

    Porter would be favoured over all three

    That's how it works? Well...did Porter every fight a boxer like Oscar? :lol:

    Porter loses very wide to a prime Oscar at 147.

    Porter fights NOTHING like Ike. HOW the hell do you even suggest that they are similar???

    I said Quartey, being that he was an Elite fighter in his prime that was also better technically than Porter. They dont fight similiar, youre correct lance but in terms of a quality opponent, Quartey was a better fighter than Porter. And thats what i thought he meant by that question. Its hard for anybody to mimic Porters style anyways, so that question is sort of moot. But did you not see that i said "OR" as in what the hell are you even talking about man? Lol

    I think Crawford loses to a offensive beast, not so much a Whitaker.

    Crawford is better than Whitaker and has a longer reach than almost everyone Whitaker fought, his switch-hitting would be a factor.

    :lol: Is that what you meant? really Dren? You sure you didn't just get caught in posting something stupid and incorrect?
    So Ike is like porter....because elite this or elite that? Porter was never on the elite level. Not when you lose to virtually all the top guys.
    See...you don't know WTF you are talking a bout. Just trying to cover your ass now.

    Its clear by looking at Ikes fights with Jose Luus Lopez and De La Hoya, that his style isnt even comparable to Shawn Porters. Lol.. And you obviously misunderstood the post, which instead of saying oh its drenlou let me argue without fully reading his post to begin with, because frankly i had a bad day today and need to vent! Lol.. read it!

    The question the way I interpted it at first was that De La Hoya never fought a fighter like Porter? Hmm in terms of what i ask myself? Hmm is the poster not aware that De La Hoya fought better fighters than porter? Hmmm. Oh geez golly me... do you mean like he never fought aggressive high energy fighters before? Hmmmm geez... let me think... wait i think he fought a fella named Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquaio who were offensive dynamos in their prime! Lol.. nobody fights alike lance but there are fighters who fight very similar. And Pac and Prime Shane fit the bill.

    Now in terms of elite levels? Quartey is above porter. In terms of De La Hoya never fighting a guy like Porter? Thats also false.
