    Right now, Crawford is top 10 ATG, if he cleans out 154 and beats Booty Ennis, he's top 5.
    If he knocks out Usyk he's top 5.

          True.

          So do modern boxers even fight enough to be considered alongside the greats of yesterday? It's the same sport with vastly different performances.

          For example, Fury tried to argue he was one of the best ever purely on the strength of his best two wins. Obviously both of those were questionable as all time great wins anyway but depth of resume was always a legitimate counter argument.

          Does anyone have the depth now to be an ATG?

            The days of fighting 12x a year have been gone for a while
            Of those 12 fights, MAYBE 2 would not be a part time boxer just trying to pay rent.
            Quality > quantity imho

                  By the way, ginger wasn't drained down, he even offered to fight a 150, that was his begging mode.
