I'm sure your simple tribalist mind would think that.
I see Crawford as the next fighter to 'do a wilder'

2 fights before Joe Calzaghe beat Jeff Lacy, he got dropped by a no hope Kabrary Salem. Tyson Fury got dropped by a journeyman, a cruiserweight, and wobbled by Chisora, Ricky Hatton was put on ***** street by Eamon McGee and nearly stopped by Luis Collazo. Muhammad Ali got decked by Henry Cooper when he was the best fighter in the world, I could go for the rest of the day...Comment

I'd favour porter and spence over him right now. Ugas got a good chance too. And my predictions don't mean a damn thing what I'm saying is he actually has to prove things instead of just being the king of the fantasy match ups like wilder was. You can't see the full make up of these fighters against limited opposition however good they look, no one could have forseen how rigondeaux would unravel against lomachenko for example, no one foresaw someone just completely being able to walk through wilder either.Comment

I can see Crawford losing but not dominated like Wilder. Crawford does have a lot of flaws and isn't this special talent like he's billed to be but he's still a hell of a fighter.
I don't see the comparisons, if anything Wilder has always been underrated while Crawford is grossly overrated. Most people just saw Wilder for what he is; a limited boxer with a monster punch. Crawford on the underhand is perceived as a top P4P with a paper thin resume.Comment

I think he maybe beats them all including Spence and Porter, I think Porter in particular is a bad style for him, but I see crawford pulling that out, I think Porter gets ragged when he is tired and i see Crawford pulling away down the stretch. Spence, I have to see what he likes like on his return, close fight but I think Spende can be out boxed with someone who is a bit tougher and a better engine than Brook, I think TC ticks those boxesComment

As far as Crawford not taking a beating, let's just see what a huge underdog was able to do to him:
