I'm just trying to gauge who is who in terms of idiocy. Who would win if Crawford and Golovkin fought at 160 right now?

Crawford fight would be similar to the brook fight in my opinion. He'd have success here and there on the move but G would walk him down, trap on the ropes and unload with no respect for buds power at 160.
Believe it or not but I feel that's how the fight goes down a stoppage victory between rounds 3 - 6.
Thats not to say Crawford couldnt fight 160 but whether he's effective and can deter the bigger punchers in that division is another story. He has the ring smarts and overall is brilliant technically but the weight disparity would be noticeable.
I'd like to see Crawford fight spence at 147 would be a great fight and classic boxer vs boxer puncher.

It'd play out similar to the Brook fight, Crawford would shut him out the first couple of rounds before he gets caught. TC's speed and defense would pose serious problems for ggg, and his power is similar to Brook's.
Crawford would need some time to acclimate himself to 160 to have a chance, I have no doubt Brook would've done WAY better hadn't he immediately jumped up 2 divisions.
I think if you're talented enough and give yourself time to get used to the weight you can put up a good fight against almost anybody. I've seen too many examples in boxing that contradicted logic.
I mean look at James Toney, he wasn't exactly invincible at 160 arguably losing to Dave Tiberi, even getting dropped by Johnson. That dude gained 90lbs of pure fat, not even proper condition and was schooling a monstrous hitter in Sam Peter their 1st fight.

Golovkin stops him easy at 160, Crawford gets hit a lot and one punch from Gennady it's over, many people are comparing Brook to Crawford but Brook was a big welterweight, Crawford is a lightweight moving up, that would be his fifth weight division, not everyone is like Floyd, Manny, or Oscar
