    A draw? Really, even with a KD scored for Hearns?

    Yeah, the other rounds were very close, and even though I'm a bigger fan of Hitman than SRL, I think SRL nicked those rounds.

    I remember Emmanuel saying, in between round one and two, he's not as fast as Lon, he's not as fast as Lon! Now i know who Emmanual was referring to.

    Closest thing Bud fought to that was Postol who was a 5'11" JWW. Postol very underrated. He lost to Bud then had somewhat questionable losses to Taylor and Ramirez

    Don't get me wrong - Bud is a great fighter and very skilled.
    But that one era/time in boxing was just insane - Leonard,Duran,Hearns, Benitez,Hagler, etc and they all fought each other.

    There are no more than five people in history that could beat that lineup PFP...SRR, Ali, and SRL are 3 of them. So almost NOBODY runs that lineup...just saying Crawford is no tuneup for anyone in history (in my opinion). Not saying he beats any of them although I think he does. Just saying he would be a real fight for all of them
