If he cleans out yet another division where does he rank all time? It’s definitely possible to happen which would be very impressive. It’s going to likely come down to Crawford vs. Spence maybe 3 years down the line for all the belts at welterweight.
Really depends on who and how he beats to get there. If he only has to beat one guy to be undisputed (Thurman or Spence) I'm not sure that qualifies him for ATG status. Boxing fans are easily impressed these days and hung up on remaining undefeated or unifying in weak divisions. To measure a fighter's greatness you must consider the whole package. Who did they fight and at what juncture of their career? Did they seek the biggest challenges available or walk through fire to get there or did they look sensational agaisnt overmatched opponents where a win was a foregone conclusion?
Crawford can very well go down as an ATG in the top 50, but he has a long way to go.
Top 50 but guys like Oscar, Benitez, Pernell, Duran, and Floyd would do the same in this era. Crawford benefits from fighting in a weak era
Possibly, it all depends on if Spence & Crawford keep winning. Spence & Crawford are the 2 that can potentially match the level of the legendary guys if they keep winning than have their career legacy fight against each other. I just hope Arum allows Crawford to fight some of the PBC fighters & not just C level fighters constantly. I guess if he fights Pacquiao after Horn that’s a solid fight even though Pacquiao is past his best. But he needs to fight at least 2 of these fighters between Porter, Garcia & Thurman. Than Spence. This is all if he keeps winning of course.
