    Crawford. But Haney is starting to get very underrated.

    Why even bother with this kind of question ?

    Haney could not ever hurt featherweights, when he is solid welterweight

    I voted Devin Haney

    1. Wasn't rocked by Gamboa like Crawfish
    2. Beat a living legend matrix in Lomachenko which makes him a living legend

    Who has Crawford beat? Victor Postol? shot to pieces Amir Khan? Shot to pieces Brook? beaten pre-retirement Porter?

    When Haney reaches Crawford's age in 10 years time he will has surpassed him with EASE.

    What was Crawford doing at Haney's age? Beating Briedess Prescott wow what a legend.

    First let Errol beat on that drum.

    I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of bias on this forum when it comes to these fighters:
    Canelo
    Crawford
    Usyk
    Inoue
    Bivol
    Fury

    If we are talking about a "skillset" based on the "quality" of opposition that each fighter has faced so far, I have to go with Haney. Haney showed in his fights against Kambosos, Linares, and Loma that he can fight in all ranges whereas Crawford is rather mediocre on the inside. Haney is much more defensively responsible and has better footwork as well. Crawford has the edge in counterpunching, power, and switching but nothing else. The quality of the opposition has made Crawford look much better than he actually is. He hasn't stepped in the ring with anyone as great as the fighters Haney has faced.

    It doesn't matter he has fought and defeated better opposition than Crawford has.

    Crawford is more versatile.

    Doesn't matter, Lomachencko is head and shoulders above everyone Crawford has fought. I would even argue Linares and Kambosos.

    Haney was clearly beaten by Loma. 3 vegas judges won him that fight not his actual performance.

    In Crawfords defense people say he has not been fighting anybody:

    But he handed Gamboa his first loss and there was a lot of hype around Gamboa. He was also the first to beat Postol and Postol had a lot of hype around him as well.

    Porter isn’t a bad win either.
