Yes, until Saturday.
If Crawford wins, he's dominated 2 of the historically best divisions in boxing (135 & 147) & completely unified another (140).
Monster's impressive as hell, but let's not forget that the weight classes under 135 don't represent the majority of men in the world.
That's why WWs & MWs have historically had the greatest fighters on the planet like Robinson, Leonard, Floyd, Manny, Hearns, Hagler, etc. . .
The only time you give that mantle to someone under 135 or so is if there's absolutely nobody between 135 -175 who's really distinguished themselves.
If Crawford wins, he's completely unified TWO divisions, including the best one in the history of boxing (147) and beat a possible HOF to do it.
Fulton's a really good fighter, but not a HOF, yet.
If Spence wins, I agree, he's #2. He's only fought in 1 division.
