Is Crawford in the same class as Mayweather, Leonard, Duran or more in the Class of Oscar, Mosley...

He would have beaten Manny. That's words from the Godfather's mouth over at Top Prank and he's seen more boxing than anyone on here. FMW is a hard one. His fans block the fight b.c Crawford doesn't sell PPVs (How people forgot that nonsense?). Anyway, arms are too long. FMW doesn't fight over 72'' (only Judah recent memory) his reach and Crawford is a switch-hitting dog. Another guy FMW would have to fight and I mean fight. Would have to go back and watch other guys. Maybe Oscar given Tito put him on a bike so it's possible if you can get to him.I've been watching Crawford for years now and I am always on the fence with him. There are days when I feel as though he is overrated but then there a days I feel he is greater than many fighters we have seen. Would you say, Crawford, as a boxer, is in the same class as Manny, Floyd, Leonard, and Duran? Or is he just another Oscar, Mosley, Pernelle, Tito, Vernon....etcComment

More accomplished. Maybe he would beat him 'Probably'. But Porter is not levels above Mayorga.
Stylistically Porter vs Mayorga would be a good fight, and it is a winnable fight for Porter 'Winnable fight for both fighters'.
Porter had a great career, was a solid fighter. But he was not a elite level fighter.
Stylistically Porter would be beat down from start to finish by Oscar De La Hoya.

I’m with you. I’m always on the fence with crawford. I wasn’t impressed with his victory over Porter and he wasn’t outboxing him or anything throughout the fight.I've been watching Crawford for years now and I am always on the fence with him. There are days when I feel as though he is overrated but then there a days I feel he is greater than many fighters we have seen. Would you say, Crawford, as a boxer, is in the same class as Manny, Floyd, Leonard, and Duran? Or is he just another Oscar, Mosley, Pernelle, Tito, Vernon....etc
he was even losing before the tko.
i think given the chance he definitely could have had a better resume at 147, and he would hold his own against the likes of prime manny and prime floyd.
resume wise he is tier below, skillwise, maybe he is borderline among them, maybe he ain’t. We haven’t seen it yet, a win over spence and a move to 154 could cement it a lot.Comment

I consider all of the fighters you mentioned A Level fights. Once you get to the A Level, there are subdivisions and Craawford is much lower than the others. I hope this answers your question.I've been watching Crawford for years now and I am always on the fence with him.
