Is Terence Crawford the new GGG?

[Arj Guy]

GGG at least beat Canelo unofficially who is way way better than any of Crawford’s opponents. Hell Danny Jacobs is way better than anyone Crawford has fought

[Lance98]

Please do not lump them together. Crawford has accomplished way more at a younger age than GGG ever did. Crawford wants all of the tough fights unlike GGG. Crawford is a dog who is not afraid of a tear up with anyone, while GGG fights scared against top competition. Crawford and GGG are not in the same position. One is more accomplished and fearless, while the other is a huge cherry picking p*ssy.

One of my favorites of all time, Marvin Hagler, fought exclusively at MW also, and I’d never call him a coward. I wouldn’t call GGG one either. He knew his limits. “Challenging yourself” doesn’t always end well. Just ask Mikey Garcia or Guillermo Rigondeaux.

I agree with you but it’s the “anyone from 154-168” comment he gets **** for. Who knows maybe he meant he’d fight anyone from those classes but at 160 lol

Except he hasn't. They're about the same, fought nobody, unified a dead division at/by the time they were 32 years of age.

Both have the same accomplishments at , GGG is/was more fearless later in his career and I agree Crawford is a cherry picking p*ssy

Like really, he's 32 and hasn't fought any legit competition. He is being hid out by Arum and he is getting praised as being a top 10 p4p when he hasn't fought anyone. I have a feeling that his career will be a lpt like GGG - a lot of question marks and well past his prime when he does step up.

oh come on. GGG fought his first titlist aged 34. They are polar opposites.

At least 3G is trying these days, got to give him credit for a run of Lemieux Jacobs Canelo Derev (plus 2 duffers)

Ward was trying to fight GGG for years, but GGG stayed in middleweight hiding like a coward. How can you be a fan of ggg when he never even challenged himself!

Ward was too busy ducking his own promoter to fight GGG. I've schooled many a hater on this fact. Don't add yourself to the number.

[Madison Boxing]

Ggg was chasing big fights and his opponents were usually top 5 ranked.

[DreamFighter]

we give GGG credit for trying once he reached the age of 34, by facing his first ever titlist and his first ever number 1 contender.
But as soon as he started doing that, the kos evaporated and losses started appearing too after just 4 opponents...which explains 100% why he left it late.

if he'd been fighting at this level for the last 10 years he's have 4 or 5 losses, and barely one KO.

Which titlist or #1 contenders could GGG have fought earlier?

Dude was blackballed by his former promoter til he was near 31 years old, man, you one of these dudes thinks a fighter can just click their fingers and get whoever they want in the ring?

I am just contributing to the thread by pointing out the massive differences so the thread title is flawed, I'm not making excuses.

If you want to make excuses feel free though, I am not censoring you.
