Felix Trinidad who is top 5 one of the hardest hitting Welterweights of all time couldn't stop an old inactive Whitaker with drug problems. There isn't a hope in hell Crawford stops a prime Whitaker.
No way he stops Pernell, in fact the more I think about the fight the more I'm confident that Whitaker would win.
Pernell has defeated better competition in McGrit, Chavez, Jose Luis Ramirez, Oscar, and Vasquez. Crawford hasn't even defeated a fighter on McGrit level.
Really? Oscar has defeated fighter who were just as good if not better. Crawford doesn't even have a Ike Quartey on his resume using "context".
This may be controversial, but I think Ennis would have a better chance due to superior speed, power, size, and strength.
Whitaker in whatever weight division. Crawford's biggest win to date is Amir Khan for crying out loud.
I'm sorry, but what exactly does Crawford do better than Oscar? Oscar proved it at the elite level Crawford has never.
GGG has a case for being Top 5 hardest hitting MW of all time. Canelo and Danny Jacobs and Dervenchenko showed that hitting hard only matters if you can land. Crawford lands whereas Trinidad does not against elites.
