    Ike was at 54. Crawford hasn't beaten anybody on the level of p4p Mosley. Forrest>Crawford.

    And h2h the Forrest from the first Mosley fight beats Crawford imo.

    No.

    Mosley is a better scalp than Crawford's entire 147 resume. And it was no fluke...he beat him twice.

    And that's before we even get to Ike Quartey

    In my mind, Crawford would struggle with prime Mosley but would make a fool of prime Mayorga. Styles do make fights.

    Bud and Vernon are just different fighters and it is hard to compare them fairly.

    Quartey was CLEARLY robbed in that fight against Forrest. It was a shame

    Forrest beat Mosley who was ranked P4P number 1 for 2 years, Crawford hasn't even beaten the top 5 fighters in Welterweight division, let alone dominating a P4P fighter so theres your answer.

    Vernon beat Ike on points at 154 pounds when Ike came out of retirement and it was disputed. Porter, Brook and Khan are not better than Ike or Mosley or Vernon for that matter. Some respect please.
