No when and if he fights and beats the other belt holders then that claim can be made. Spence, Thurman and Porter.

Then Thurman is Hearns, Spence is Hagler and Porter is Duran. Unfortunately for , the other 3 willn't fight him

Beamish, you need a reality check so let “me make it clear”
Floyd cannot be the best Welterweight since Leonard because Floyd never had the boxing ballz to face an IN PRIME African American Fighter , let alone any real IN PRIME fighter. Real Great WW like Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Whitaker, De La Hoya, Mosely, Cotto, Pacquiao and Bradley fought tough IN PRIME fighters not just in WW but also in other weights.
PAC earned the Greatest Fighter of the Decade 2000-2010 because he dared to be great and fought the toughest fighters in various weight classes to be first and only 7 and 8 weight champion as well as first and only 5 weight lineal champion... NO ONE ELSE ACCOMPLISHED THIS...
Only the greatest overall fighter of the last generation could have done this and that was Pacquiao... Greatness earned, didn’t have to talk about it, because he went out and DID IT! Like a true ATG.

Cheesus. Let's be clear. Floyd Mayweather is the best fighter to spend time in the WW division since Leonard. Period.
Crawford is looking good, but please. Promoterspeak is so tiresome.

Floyd fought judah who was a 'prime African American fighter' as you put it you forget that one? Floyd gave a fair few fighters their first loss guess they were not prime tho right? Lol
You can pick apart any fighters resume but to claim a guy who won an Olympic medal was a 5 weight champion lineal in 4 and retired undefeated with 0 official knockdowns in 50 professional fights didn't achieve greatness then you are talking out of your ass

Bob speaking as a promoter, although Crawford is special. But could he beat Mayweather, De La Hoya, Mosley and Whitaker, I would doubt that. It's just opinion, but it can be tricky comparing era's, though in boxing sometimes you can.
