    Since May was PBF, he's been matched with and compared to ATG's
    Bud is just now reaching those heights.

    Off ONE name.

        What are being considered each ones "peak" or best weights? Or, as well playing this entirely subjective comparison game, is this also going to be another bs "pound for pound" discussion?

          If it had not been for Crawford’s resume. He would have been ranked higher on the mythical P4P list than both Floyd Mayweather, Jr and Manny Pacquiao.

          Not only do I believe he is the better fighter of the three but also he is a five time divisional world champion and a three time undisputed divisional world champion.

          Which is both unheard of and something that neither Money or Pac has ever achieved in their careers. Not one of them has ever cleaned out an entire division in the four belt era.

          So call Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford the “Clean up man”.

            In addition, no; Alvarez meant what he said that Bud Crawford was a better fighter than Mayweather.

            Canelo hit Bud with some of the hardest punches he has ever hit anyone at 168 but Crawford kept coming forward.

            It got so bad to the point where Canelo became so frustrated that many times I thought he was going to quit.

            He just couldn’t hurt or hit hard enough to get Terence Crawford outta there. A smaller man moving up three weight divisions to fight him.

              Before long bud will be a 6 weight champ so he will be greater than floyd. Unlikely to be as great as pac though as pac campaigned in 7th weight class for 10 years after cotto win, literally taking on and mostly beating all comers.
              Bud at this point is at the pac beating cotto stage of pac s career.

                Yes, only time will reveal how history would judge Terence Crawford’s career. For my money, he is better than both Pac and Money now.

                As neither was undisputed in any weight class they competed in but Crawford has achieved that feat more than three times in his career already.

                To tie only Henry Armstrong’s record for the most undisputed champions in boxing history. The only difference is Bud did his in the.four belt era.

                While on the other hand; Henry Armstrong won all of his undisputed championships simultaneously.
