    You forgot the quality of opponents from both fighters. Canelo has definitely has the better opposition in that aspect, and i think that should counts toward your "Objectivity".

        That is a great list, and why i think Bud isn't "Objectively" better than Canelo.

          Well yeah he is. He has a higher ring IQ, better stamina, better reach for his size, faster hands,p4p superior punching power and a stronger will power. That's not a knock on Canelo, he's an amazing fighter and has a better defense than Crawford, I just think Crawford is the clear cut best fighter on the planet.

              Ginge has fought all the big names in his division in GGG and Jacobs, Bud has fought Kahn

              There’s no comparison yet, he needs Spence, Thurman etc etc

                    Who has Terence Crawford ever fought that could actually fight?

                    Postol, Felix Diaz, maybe Indongo, and maybe Ricky Burns in Scotland.

                    That's it, lol
