(PRIME) Terence Crawford vs. (PRIME) Oscar De La Hoya

I'd like to see Crawford's record if he had to fight prime Quartey, prime Vargas at 154, prime Mosley, Whitaker, Chavez, prime Pacauiao, prime Mayweather, prime Trinidad.

Compare those names to Crawford's best opponents Featherweight Gamboa, inactive Porter, Postol, inactive Spence who had been in 2 car crashes.

ODLH also wouldn't of vacated his belt so he didn't have to fight Ennis.

 

Yes, he’s never had a close fight.

But at the same time, he’s not fought: Pea, Tito, Floyd, Manny, Vargas, Hopkins, Ike and Shane etc.

Context is massively important here.

Would Oscar have struggled with any of Terence’ opposition?

Would he have struggled against: Spence, Brook, Khan, Burns, Gamboa and Porter etc?

Those guys were a level below most of Oscar’s opponents, with some of them being past their best.


A softer side?

Would Terence have beaten Bernard Hopkins?

Would he have beaten prime versions of Shane?


Terence has never fought guys of that calibre.

 

60-40 I favor DelaHoya. I have never been impressed with Crawford's competition. I'll take ODLH close fights with Whitaker, Trinidad, Mosley, and Mayweather over Crawford's win over Spence.

 

Honestly, these posts are bizarre to me.

I’m baffled as to why people haven’t applied any context.

Come back to us, when Terence fights guys like Floyd, Manny and Shane etc, instead of Shawn Porter and Ricky Burns etc.

 

Absolutely insane logic.

What are these guys thinking?

 

Terence is great. But he’s totally unproven against Oscar’s level of competition.

 

I don’t know if he’d have whooped him.

It would have been a great fight.

Oscar is obviously far more proven though.

 

Exactly.

Terence is great.

I hope that he can stay around for a little longer.

I’m a fan myself.

However, let’s be realistic.

The likelihood is, he wouldn’t be undefeated had he have fought all of Oscar’s opponents.

 

Oscar fought better fighters but I think Crawford matches up well with him

 

Oscar is proven against far better fighters. Crawford is undefeated against a bunch of no names. Maybe whoop is bit drastic but I’d favor Oscar big time here.

 

Terrence doesnt strike me as someone who quits. From what we know he digs deep and gets it done. Hard to see him losing in the fashion DLH did to BHop or Manny.

For what its worth I think Bud beats Shane, Floyd, and Manny, as well as DLH head to head. Some matchups may need 3 fights, but I favor Bud. Just my 2 cents

 

Me neither. But then let’s see him up against one of the greatest MW’s of all time, where he takes a great body shot.

Oscar had nothing left to give against Manny.

Both Freddie Roach and Floyd Mayweather Snr, were expecting Oscar to rehydrate up to a stone, and possibly even more. Yet he only rehydrated by 2 pounds after the weigh-in, where he looked ill.

 

DLH very underrated on these and many boards. He was a bad dude

 

That’s a big call Sir. I respect it but it’s a big call I am not sure I agree with at all.
