New Crawford's name should be "Sweet Tea"

You're only saying that because they look alike, the reality is they fight nothing alike. There's some resemblance, not much but there a little bit.

Still no. Mayweather uses upper body movement when he is on the ropes while having the shoulder roll on to make the opponent miss. He uses upper body movement to slip the jab and counter a right hand, or just ducks under and fight on the inside.

Pernell on the other hand constantly moves around with his upper body movement to create offense while still moving around, it is far from what Jones and Mayweather has.

Roy Jones uses his freak athleticism and that comes in his feet to create where he can hit while not getting hit back.

You're talking about old Mayweather. Prime Mayweather was an orthodox stance sweet pea. Only difference is that sweet pea liked to joke around too much and Floyd was mostly serious. Otherwise they were pretty much the same.

Roy Jones had mad hip and head movement, of course he had legs too, so did Floyd, but no two people are gonna be exactly the same. The difference you pointed out are really irrevelevant as a result. Fact is, ability wise, Floyd and Roy are much closer to sweat pea than Crawford is despite Crawford being a southpaw.

Crawford aint that sweet, and his hip and head movement aint nowhere near those three.

You could argue that he is a better overall fighter compared to Whitaker.

No you couldn't. Whitaker could throw combinations and move in the pocket while avoiding punches. Whitaker either has to move or stand and deliver. Every now and then, when he moves, he may throw out a jab but he can't throw combos while doing that.

I'll give TC the nod when it comes to being physical and being a better puncher but that doesn't make him better overall than Whitaker. Not even close.

Only thing close to Whitaker defense was Benitez... The defense wizard.

Not "Bud" or "The Hunter"
Idk why, but Terence reminds me of Whitaker and Pernell is my favorite fighter from the past

Pernell's in a whole different level until proven otherwise.
Terence is more exciting though. Unless you're only watching highlights from youtube. and definitely has a lot more pop.
