Crawford. End of thread. -
It’s hard to tell.
You have one who has been more exposed to a multitude of styles and a bunch of guys who he was “ducking”. Taking different deals with different promoters to make fights happen. This will in turn make the fighter look more vulnerable.
You have a guy, since he was 22 years old, and throughout his 20s, exposed to elite level competition. Mayweather, Trout, Lara, GGG 2x, Jacobs, Cotto. And not only that, but expected to do way more, and expected to beat all of them, and if they’re close fights he gets clowned on.
In his 30s, he continues his bashing of top 10 ranked fighters who aren’t good enough for his critics. Callum Smith, Kovalev, Saunders, and a tough fight with Dmitry Bivol next.
Then the other guy has looked totally remarkable vs the likes of top 10 ranked fighters like Gamboa, Burns, Beltran, Postol, Porter, Kavaliouskas. Yes, looked better than those fighters than Canelo looked vs some of the elites he has faced. But again, when you are exposed to elites, you will look more vulnerable. Imagine 22 year old Crawford vs fighters like Mayweather and Lara.
Easy to sit back and criticize the guy who fights the better opposition.
I’ve yet to see prime Canelo hurt like Gamboa and Kavalioukas hurt prime Crawford.Last edited by -Kev-; 03-16-2022, 06:37 AM.Comment

Honestly I think Crawford is more talented but Canelo is more skilled the way he rolls off punches dude is just so slick that to me is skills . Crawford is the more athletically gifted with his movement punch combinations etcComment

One has looked skilled against inferior opponents. But the other is actually more skilled as he fought tougher challenges.
I somehow think you know who I'm referring to.Last edited by hugh grant; 03-16-2022, 09:21 AM.Comment
