Do you think Crawford is a better boxer than porter and thurman?

[RespekonMyName]

Calm down fellas. I just watched Crawford get buckled against a stunned Gamboa who was basically out on his feet. Saying he could beat Thurman or Porter is being a little overzealous. Those cats bring heat.

Crawford has the better resume at the moment. But Thurman has a much higher ceiling. And he's in the right weight class where most of the stars compete at.

Not that he beats them, but is he a better fighter pound for pound in terms of skills and abilities. And from what I've seen my answer is yes.

Dude is p4p.....he can adjust, has the mentality, composure, skillset....he is the real deal.

People, Thurman is a protected fighter and he is protected for a reason. He will lose and lose by KO....believe that.

I agree he's been protected. But he's going to have the oppurtunity to land all the talented WW fighters in Haymons stable. Right now 140 is as stale as week old potato chips. What's next for Crawford? Mike Alvarado, Rios, Provo maybe. Pretty underwhelming in my opinion.

Yes,you should have put up a poll..

Crawford has better movement(footwork)and ring I.Q.then Thurman..Thurman is a very talented fighter..His skill level does not seem as high as Crawford's imo..

[Doctor_Tenma]

Nope......

Yes, and yes. Crawford is much more polished than either of those two. Crawford kind of reminds me of Broner though. At 135 Broner would of been able to dominate but he moved up and it was a mistake. I'm not sure how great Crawford will be moving forward(his defense isn't amazing and he isnt a super powerful guy).

He's a way better boxer than Broner. He fought Prescott at 140 and used his feet, countered and was more defensive minded.

The difference is Crawford can out box you and slug it out if he needs too.

Now while I think Crawford is probably better pfp than Porter and Thurman, no he won't beat those welterweights. But Mathed can you please explain to me exactly how you came up with the (theory) or Thurman being protected and this guy why do you agree?
