    So what? That's just an opinion because it never happened, and probably wouldn't happen. Hey, I'd welcome Porter to take a fight with Diaz to see how it shakes out, but Porter has the ugliest style to behold, it's a wonder he's got fans like you ready to cup them ***els.

      I think Crawford is the more well rounded, more skilled. But i think Thurman has got a better resume.

        The stand out names on Crawford's resume are Gamboa and Postol.

        Thurman's stand out names are Porter and Garcia.

        By the eye test, skills, craft, ring generalship yeah Crawford is better. I'm inclined to believe he's better overall and pound 4 pound as well. I believe and have that inclination about him too.

        All I'm saying is that it's a good point. That's all I'm saying.

        I'm not saying Thurman is better or X, Y and Z.

        Just saying TS brings up a good point.

        Tranquilo guys, Tranquilo

          You really did not respond to the question. I wonder what Crawford would've done to a **** like Bundu.

              When was the last time Thurman toyed with a credible opponent?

                Doesnt matter Porter and Garcia are better than Postol, Gamboa, and Diaz.

                  There are no universe where Garcia is better than Postol. For one, Garcia didn't want anything to do with him when he was a jr welterweight, and 2 they both have a common opponent. Garcia went life and death with him and Postol put on a clinic. As for Porter, he isn't proven at all, and again, Thurman barely got through him.
