None of these guys are competitive with prime Floyd or Manny. And none of them sweep Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, and JMM.

    Crawford is undefeated across 3 weight divisions, lineal and undisputed at 140, and has never had a close fight. In the past 15 years or so there's only a handful of undisputed champions...Usyk and Crawford are the only ones I can recall. And Crawford always goes for the stoppage. What's not to like about the guy?
    Yes exactly, wow what era that was? The 140-147 divisions for a long time where the box office divisions 'All throughout my high-school and college years'.

    Spence Junior, Porter, and Thurman are good fighters but they are 1-2 Levels below numerous fighters in past era's of the welter-weight division.

    Zab Judah was undisputed at 140 or 147, in the past 20 years I don't think there has been many more undisturbed Champions at welterweight 'All accept Terrence Crawford'.

    Not really a big supporter of him, I just don't get this notion 'That he has wasted his career'.

      Nobody is denying the talent. Almost all hate the weak resume and level of opposition.

          Real simple, he isn’t a PBC fighter. If he was, the same haters would be calling him P4P #1.

            He's not much of a ambitious fighter. Thinks nelos too much? What if you have to fight Nell to be great? What if the fans want it?

              I dont hate him. I think the major issue people have with him is he hasnt really had a career defining moment yet and he is getting on in age. I expect him to beat Brook but he is probably the toughest outing of his career which says alot.

                He's good but that was a lowblow v Khan.

                Khan quit as he could have taken 5 mins.

                  Because he gets flak from the 2 biggest fanbases on here - Canelo fans hate on him because he is competition for pfp supremacy. Floyd/PBC fans hate on him because he isn't with PBC and most other guys around that weight are.

                    Hmmm...so when exactly was Danny willing to fight Crawford?

                    Both duBoef and Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti recounted to The Ring on Tuesday the details of an offer delivered to Angel Garcia for his son, Danny Garcia, to meet Crawford (34-0, 25 knockouts) in a welterweight title fight on that same date.

                    The offer, presented by Moretti during a phone call with Angel: $3 million guaranteed plus upside of the pay-per-view revenue. The plan was for Crawford-Garcia to headline Top Rank’s first PPV show on ESPN. Of course, Garcia is aligned with PBC, meaning he fights exclusively on Showtime/FOX.

                    “It was a totally professional discussion,” Moretti recalled. “He said he would discuss it with Danny. Never heard back. I appreciate him taking the call. I think that door is always open. Absolutely.”

                    Because it wasn't in April of 2019 when Crawford offered Danny a career high payday. . .
