    Crawford is legit. He put a solid beating on Porter, a guy who gave Spence all he could handle. He’s a great fighter and will have a chance to prove it against Boots, Ortiz and Spence. The wait is frustrating. At 147, he gives Floyd a beating. Same with 140. No way Floyd wouod have fought Crawford at 140 without a max hydration clause. Like he tried to do to Winky (Winky refused).

    I like Crawford over Spence but it’s a legit 50-50 fight. Why are modern boxers such divas? Protecting that 0 above anything. Spence is equally at fault. All my all time favorites have a loss or a few losses on their record. Ali, Hagler, SRL, SRR, Hearns, RJJ, Duran, Purnel, etc. Modern fighters are cherry pickers from the Mayweather school of matchmaking. It’s killing the sport.

    Arguably didn't win 4 of those. Very lucky not to get DQ'd in the Judah fight for the corner invasion and that changed the whole fight. Lost to Castillo arguably both times. Lost to Maidana, Cotto gave him problems. I honestly think Crawford beats PBF at 147lbs.

    PBF stayed clear of fighters like Margarito and Williams and people use the triangle theory as to why they had no chance but their height reach and pressure would have given him nightmares even if they lost. You needed pop to keep them off. As for Williams just his reach too.

    This is what frustrates me with you guys. Who has he defeated to make you think he beats Floyd, Spence, Marianna, Mosley, Delahoya, Marquez, Hatton, Corrales, Manny, Cotto, and Hernandez?

    I'm sorry, but Floyd is argunally P4P a top 5 most skilled fighter of all time. Has Crawford even defeated a fighter as good as hatton, Cotto, Marquez, and Corrales? Hell..... I don't even think he'd beat Spence, Ennis, and Ortiz

    Honestly at welterweight I think Porter beats the versions of Marquez, Corrales and Hatton that Mayweather faced. People forget that Corrales was drained for the Mayweather fight and Marquez wasn't juiced up like he was for the 3rd and 4th Pacquiao fights when he faced Mayweather. The Cotto win is very good better than anything on Crawford's resume and I'm not disputing that Mayweather has a much better resume but I would fancy Crawford.

    I personally think Spence is the one ducking Crawford.

    I don't care for either of them and I really dislike Mayweather but there is nothing to suggest Crawford beats any version of PBF.
