    Prime Kostya Tsyzu would have beaten Crawford

    A couple things I've noticed about crawford. He is there to be hit and almost everyfight that he's had, he's gotten hit with his opponents best shots. Diaz even landed clean with his best shot several times. Gamboa landed clean several times and so did landy. Against Kostya, you get hit with his best shot and it's lights out and he will finish. See judah fight. Also, you cannot play the distance and thinking game with Kostya which crawford loves to do to his oppnents. Styles make fights and Kostya's style is all wrong for crawford.

    Yes, Tszyu would have won.

    Crawford is fighting in a weak era for the 135-140 weight divisions.

      yup. crawford is overrated. thurman is better than him p4p imo.

      thurman's wins over porter/ garcia > crawford's wins over gamboa/postal


      thurman is also a heads up nightmare for crawford.

        Well if we're comparing Crawford to all-timers now, then he's clearly doing something right.

          How is Thurman a nightmare for Crawford. Crawford is a defensive wizard.

              won't matter, he doesn't have the footspeed. he's a walker. he walks around.


              Thurman is a hopper.


              Fight will unfold like RJJ vs Toney. Thurman would dominate with his range.

                  Kostas defense was not too good. Phillips landed every punch he threw and Judah landed pretty big shots too before his crystal chin was shattered. Crawford has the strength and accuracy to win the fight.
