    Bivol is a 175 pounder with a 72'' reach who is damn near always fighting bigger, significantly bigger or much bigger men and he has often been giving away reach

    Crawford is a 135/140/147 pounder with a 74'' reach who has often been the bigger or significantly bigger man and has never been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights.

    Overall? I'd take Bud, he even has a longer reach and pound for pound his jab hits much harder setting up a much better overall offense.

    Bivol far better jab.

    Crawford, he busts people up badly and can jab from either stance and it sets the table for devastating fight finishing power shots. He dominated Spence so thoroughly with his jab and defense it was ridiculous.

    I like Crawford's jab more, If the boxing gods said you can choose to have Crawford or Bivol's jab, I'd rather have his jab over Bivols jab.

    Note: I like his southpaw jab better than his orthodox jab.

    Crawford’s jab has a lot more power.

    I think Bivol is better with the lead hand but just jab wise, probably Crawford

    Crawford more powerful and can switch stances and jab effectively.

    Surprisingly Crawford only features in a few of the categories on the plus minus stats and you have to factor in size and quality of opposition too. For example Loma was racking up Floyd numbers when he was down at 126 and 130 and in his prime against opponents his size or not way bigger, heavier and longer but his numbers have dropped of late because he's fighting opponents who are way bigger and longer than him which isn't the case or often the opposite or complete opposite for other guys ranked in the top 15 P4P or any of the guys ranked in CompuBox top 10and the closest would be Bivol

    I've long considered these the most skilled fighters in the sport

    Loma a clear #1

    In no order

    Usyk
    Crawford
    Inoue

    But I think Bivol probably deserves a place in that second tier too

    And maybe Ioka, Shakur and Clenelo too
