    He wouldn’t have been able to land a single punch on Terence “TBE” Crawford.

    Even if that were true, which I don't even necessarily think it is... That's completely besides the point.

    Styles shape fights. Mayorga and Porter are not alike.

    Mosley is 'better' than Mayorga as well. Didn't mean much against Forrest.

    You underestimate Mayorga he didn't have a long prime but at one point he was a very dangerous fighter with a very good chin, Mayorga stuck his chin out and took flush shots vs Forrest, Trinidad, that was unreal TBH. It seems like Tito actually ruined him though in all honesty.

    But if Porter gave Spence absolute hell in their fight, it wouldn't surprise me if Mayorga did aswell. Mayorga in his prime has a better chin than Porter and is bigger and hits harder aswell.

    Vernon would beat Crawford up because he doesn't lose to smaller stature guys. He was also good in the clench when he had to be, so a smaller guy (even that's faster and more dynamic like Mosely who's a known "weightlifter ;)") would be in Hell against him. Crawford ain't as strong physically as Shane was. He'd have a harder time with Spence because Spence would press against him with pressure and consistent volume and Vernon needed room to do his best work.

    Spence is physically broad and huge across his shoulders, it would be a bit harder when Vernon clenched against someone his stature that's actually broader. I'd say him vs. Spence would be 50/50

    mosley was a great fighter but crawford is more versatile and fought smarter. Crawford would not allow forrest to tie him up like that. Hed box and move.
