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

[NearHypnos]

Thurman or Porter havent had the chance to prove it against good opposition but I think it'd be safe to say he's a better boxer than Porter. For Thurman that remains to be seen. Thurman couldpotentially be

[Outwest Exp 355]

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?

Haymon has a way of building up his talent. He did it with Broner, Berto, Charo Bros, and now Thurman. Sure they want to fight the best but they also want to be on the A side of negotiations. Thurman's resume is weak but if you look at it he's fought the kind of opposition Haymon is willing to pay for. You can't get top contenders in the ring for 90 to 100 grand. So he gets stuck fighting the Diaz' of the world. Top opposition is going to cost multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions.

IMO Crawford by far the better boxer of the three hands down. Let me know when either of those guys could outbox an Olympic gold medalist as a southpaw...

And how do you know what Haymon was willing to pay? May I have some proof of the Ghost's and Maidana's proposed purses please. That way I can become a believer.

[DondiNeverLeft]

Do you think he could beat them at welterweight? I do you think his skills is better he's like andre ward in a lot of ways.

Crawford showed masterful boxing. Yes skill wise he is better than Porter and Thurman.

Porter overwhelms pretty much like Pac. While Thurman is KO fighter with some skill.

Damn don mega you droppin that ISM!!!!!!!

Man that's the truth....

[Butt stuff]

I still think if they were the same size, thurman would pull out a win. Not sure if Crawford is P4P yet, but hes definetely a fighter to watch and he's just created a myriad of great match up possibilities with the way he dispatched Gamboa

[GoldenGloveLove]

He's more skilled than Porter, and MAYBE Thurman but if either of those guys land on him like Gamboa did in the first four rounds he may not have time to adjust before getting stopped.
