Was Hagler a better switch hitter than Crawford? Who is the best in history at it?

They are both equally good and smooth at switching, however, I'll wait if Crawford can do that switching and still win against elite fighters. In the future, we'll see if he can do it against Spence, Thurman, and maybe Pacquiao if he is still here.
Marvelous' demise against Leonard is due to that switching, he tried to do it earlier and Leonard capitalized on it, piled rounds earlier in judges eyes and caused an upset. Marvin didn't recognized that switching against that level of opponent is tantamount to handicapping yourself, he should have stick to his stronger stance from the start because after all he was fighting the best in that era. Sometimes things like that is the difference between winning and losing in a battle of two elites. You have to have awareness when it's time to bring your best and when it's time to play a little bit.
