At their best, who was better: Crawford or Pernell?

What a time to be alive, where Fury is regarded by some as the 2nd greatest heavyweight of all time and Crawford is greater than Sweet Pea. Imagine Pernell against Crawford's opposition. - - More like Craw mushing Peas into his mashed tators. Pea stink dead and buried. Y U desecrate him so with resurrection? 'toopid?

whitaker took on all challengers. Chavez, DLH, Tito Crawford intentionally renewed his contract with Arum to feast on a steady supply of bums and now at 35 finally faces an older shawn porter and we are supposed to act like it was the most amazing welterweight accomplishment in history

At their best Crawford was flashier, stronger and a much bigger puncher than Whitaker. However, most of that came against very limited opposition. While on the other hand, Whitaker was faster with a much better Ring IQ, defense and a quicker jab than Crawford's; All the while fighting against more talented and better skilled opposition than Bud Crawford. So my answer would be Pernell Whitaker.

Pernell’s career dwarfs Crawford’s. Crawford’s career has been plagued by a lack of opportunity, which is kinda sad.

- - Same number of x he fought Craw. Craw don't monkey around like U zeroes. One & Done. Did you say Craw? or craw? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftgAG3Vnif8&ab_channel=TheCraw15

I've been watching a lot of Pernell Whitaker and I believe the guy does not get enough credit. He has spectacular, footwork, defense, counter-punching, timing, and his Iq is arguably the greatest. At the same time, Crawford has accomplished just as much, if not more, in a shorter timespan. Who would you say was the better fighter overall? I think Crawford was better offensively and much more talented whereas Pernell was just more skilled. Thoughts? Whitaker and it isn't close. Different level. Unless Bud exceeds expectations in the next few years... Whitaker at his best was unhittable and used his defensive ability offensively, if that makes sense. I doubt as good as CRawford is, he would outclass Chavez like Whitaker did.

Pernell Whitaker had very few equals in this sport and Terrance Crawford isn’t one of them.

And how many times was Whitaker KOed? Dumb, even for a complete moron like you. - - Same number of x he fought Craw. Craw don't monkey around like U zeroes. One & Done.

- - Craw mushes his sweetpeas into his tators for dinner. Pea a great natural talent, but better suited for the circus where he won't get KOed while clowning. Well it said at best who was better so we haven't seen the best from Crawford yet

Pernell. As another poster said, "it isn't even close" Let's wait until the sun has set on Crawford's career

Whitaker. He made top fighters look absolutely silly.

Whitaker. He fought and beat Nelson, Ramirez, Chavez, Mcgirt and has a very underrated win against Julio Cesar Vazquez. He also faced ODLH, Trinidad at the end of his career giving a competitive fight. Was scheduled to fight Ike Quartey but he popped dirty with cocaine and it was down hill from there.

Pernell obviously the better/greater fighter and it ain’t close.

Pernell was limited asf with hamster offensive skills. His defensive skills were based on foul. (Rolls and slips below waistline.) Also, he was lack of brawling ability, punch power etc.. Crawfish is all around more complete fighter. Yet another dumb post from NSBs village idiot.

Right now Pernell - - Craw mushes his sweetpeas into his tators for dinner. Pea a great natural talent, but better suited for the circus where he won't get KOed while clowning.

Right now Pernell

All the skills you can develop, he had them. Exhibit A of what a crafty fighter is. Of course he could have had more pop to his punches but no boxer can have it all. I dont know that Crawford's career already surpasses Whitaker's but long term you can see Crawford passing him because he doesnt have those demons.

I’d of liked to of seen him fight more than just ONE great fighter, but then again, I am hard to please.
