    Theres styles that would give Crawford fits and both styles that made Crawford "adjust" delahoya doesnt have it in his tool box. Either way Crawford isnt knocking out Oscar or doing him dirty like Spence.

      One of the biggest robberies I have ever seen but then again Felix robbed alot of people in Germany. So boxing works both ways. Felix Strum vs hopkins would had been interesting.

            Oscar.... The Pernell that Oscar fought is arguably better than Crawford at 147 and Oscar has the better resume

              Comparing a 2025 Canelo to a prime Bernard Hopkins is some stretch, Hopkins is a true GOAT level guy, Canelo is.... A good fighter with Goat Marketing

                Oscar De La Hoya on a fight by fight basis, individual fights and wins 'has a better resume than Terrence Crawford'.

                I have mentioned this before? Terrence Crawford has had a great career in terms of gaining titles 'but on a fight by fight basis, he really only has one to two great wins. And those wins were against completely dead at the weight fighters in Errol Spence Junior and Canelo Alvarez'.

                Which is not Terrence Crawford's fault, but those are still the facts. A part from those wins, Crawford really in my opinion does not have a impressive resume that can go head to head with past great fighters resumes such as Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao'.

                Note: People need to acknowledge that Oscar De La Hoya fought during the second greatest welter weight era potentially of all-times 'definitively top 3 welterweight eras of all-times. And he was one of the premier champions and during this boxing era a fighter who defined it'.

                Terrence Crawford's boxing era, was not really super talented 'when his career progressed, he was only really competing against miles outside of their peak fighters. Such as Kell Brook, Amir Khan and a semi-retire Shawn Porter'.

                From a pure skill for skill perspective, you would have to rate Shawn Porter as Terrence Crawford's best win 'out of all the big fights Crawford has had, Shawn Porter was the most in form fighter'.

                But Shawn Porter although he was a solid fighter 'I have always regarded him as the American version of Derek Chisora, but marginally more sophisticated and talented. Shawn Porter would be the level of fighter Floyd Mayweather Junior fought in the latter part of his career'.

                To conclude: So overall, I think skill for skill Terrence Crawford may be a more gifted fighter than Oscar De La Hoya 'but quite simply at the highest level of the sport Oscar De La Hoya is more proven than Crawford many times over. With superior individual wins, and experience at competing against greater fighters'.

                It is a close fight to call as Terrence Crawford is a great fighter, but I think hypothetically at their peak, Oscar De La Hoya would be the favourite to win etc.

                    not once did I ever think Saul is anywhere near goat

                    even at the peak of his powers beating up countless white boys from Euroidstan

                    Saul is levels behind Floyd Sugar Leonard the guardians of the gates into top 10 all time!

                    Ability Tiers: Floyd Sugar Leonard > TBud Roy Jonez > Bernard Andre Ward > manny > JUAN Saul Oscar > Miguel Cotto Fat Dave

                    Top Soviet Bivol somewhere between the Andre Ward and manny tier

                      At 147 it would've been a great fight. DLH wouldn't have ducked him, like Errl did for years
