Look man..I get it with this thread but I draw the line at this post here lol.
You're not serious right? He fought in a better Lightweight division than today by FAR.
That is of course..unless you think Linares, Mikey, and Robert Easter are a better line up than Corrales, Casamayor, JLC, and..a little know man called Floyd Mayweather Jr who many think was BEATEN by said JLC. But hey... It's hard to compete with this golden era of Lightweight.
And though he had already been a pro for like 20 years and was having weight issues before he made it to 140 he fought an undefeated Ricky Hatton at 140. While Crawford may possibly go on to be better than Hatton he'll need a win as big as Kostya to prove it. I love Crawford but him and Indongo arent exactly a golden era of 140 either. JLC fought in a better 140 era also. I think Crawford is very good, don't get me wrong but I have to give Hatton his 140 props. lets not act like he was some scrub. He literally only lost to two all time greats in those times. I also have no reason to believe yet that Crawford was better than Tim Bradley either or that he'll ever be for that matter.
No offense...but...Do you even remember who fought back then?
