    Easily #1, Judah at that time was better than Crawford now, much faster, much more exciting and Tszyu koed him in 2 rounds.

      If the internet was available then was like it is now you would not have all these legends because the fanboys of the day would chop them down with fanboy logic like they do to every elite fighter today, its much hard to to be truly recognized today than in years gone by.
      IDK. Thurman is pretty loved by the boxing community.

          Nowadays we know that Judah had many weaknesses, mainly his head, but give him the same opponents that crawford had faced until now and he would still look like a million bucks.

          Maybe (!) Beltran could break him down in the later rounds, but everyone else Judah would have beat while looking pretty good.

            Based off the eye test you can see that Crawford has better defense, punching power, and ring IQ. Only thing Judah has over him is footwork and hand speed.

              Typical teenager response. Obviously you never seen Kostyra tszyu fight. The guy was a legit first ballet HOFer who could box, brawl, and had iron in his fist.

              He would of make Crawford do the chicken dance.

                Judah back then would have smoked everyone that Crawford has fought easily.

                    I think he underrate Crawford's competition and his tremendous boxing ability. Crawford is close to the most perfect fighter.
