    Skills is too close to call, they’re skilled in different ways, but Duran definitely achieved more.

    Would have been a good matchup between them at lightweight an welterweight

    Crawford is probably an all-time great talent. Duran is a once/twice in a lifetime talent.

    Roberto Duran would have mauled Errol Spence

    Duran is the greater fighter, pure boxing skills would be Crawford. I picked Duran in the poll.

    The poll is exactly as it should be, but I’m actually surprised by that on this forum these days.

    I think that Duran most celebrated wins, Leonard and Barkley are overrated and blown out of proportion. Pacquiao’s sheer dominance over Morales, Barrera, DLH, Cotto and Margarito was far more impressive.

    Of course he’s more proven than Crawford but he’s been annoying as of late with his jealous comments. He’s also a sore loser and the excuses that his fans make for his loses are nauseating.
