Is Crawford really in the same class as Floyd? Or is he more Cotto, Mcgrit, Meldrick, and Benitez

    Ya well, I'm on record 5 years ago. I'm glad you finally joined the party. Better late then never.

    Why are we pretending that Bud is Sugar Ray Leonard? The dude was going neck and neck with Porter for 10 rounds, got stunned by Mean Machine, and got a run-of-the-mill 116-112 against B-rate Madrimov at 154, now he's jumping up 2 divisions and taking on the premier 168 fighter. Not to mention that he's older than Canelo. When Bud gets flattened on Netflix everyone will be pointing fingers saying "we shouldn't have let this happen." The weight difference alone is horrendous and should've made the fight unsanctionable.

    As if Cotto didn't almost beat him. Same class? Yeah. Cotto, Floyd and Crawford are peers. If they all fought one another 10 times, nobody would have an "0".

    Maybe you should rematch the madrimov and porter fights. Also, when crawford outclasses canelo with ease i don't wanna hear any excuses.
