Crawford still has a subpar resume and comparing him with Sweet Pea requires a great deal of extrapolation. Bud has even struggled when he shouldn't have. At this stage, Sweet Pea is too good.
He gets praise as being pfp#1. For what? Oh wait, he unified a weak 140 about 89 years ago. His welters resume is trash. He’s mid 30s with no defining fights. But he’s praised as this great fighter who has done great things. Years ago I thought he would have had a great career. Then he kept fighting people that nobody cares to see.
Crawford is not a Whitaker. Not even close. Whitaker started at lightweight and went all the way up to jr.middle. Chavez,Mgirt, and Nelson trump anything Bud has done so far.
Nelson is HOF.Buddy will be too. Buddy beat way better fighters then Porter. Buddy is 73-6-1. What's Porters record? Nelson is a two division champion.
