theres a couple things i like about terence crawford. he never struggled with the b level guys like shawn porter did against julio diaz, or danny garcia did against mauricio herrera, or keith thurman did against josesito lopez. so he's unique in that sense. he has been dominant. in addition to the eye test, he has fought every style, so theres no particular type of fighter i can point to and say something like, well, this guy has the style to beat crawford; can you?
Who is the best pressure fighter he’s fought, like somebody that is skilled enough to keep the pressure on the whole fight ala SpencePorterPacquaio. He’s seen guys like Crawford and Swift or even Ugas but not those.

its not a big list. but crawford fought jeff horn how you are supposed to fight guys like that. turning him, stealing and countering him coming in, using his aggression to let him walk into his stuff. you have to use the ring and be a little 3 dimensional with those kind of guys and crawford can do that.

You think you're pressing me with this now or what? If I say nobody then what? :mjlol: You think you won a debate with that one? Nobody is claiming he has a great resume but it's absolutely legit to have the opinion that he'd beat any of the guys you mentioned. He isn't ranked high because he beat elite opponents but because he consistently dominated good/very good ones, the types who gave some of the fighters you listed all they could handle.
Simple question. I think crawford is great too. Talent wise, off the eye test, probably the #1pound for pound. Although he could very well beat all them, it's not automatic either. He could very well lose to any of them. Gamboa (one of my favorites) gave him a good fight (early on). I thought Benavides or whatever his name was (with the fukked up leg) was giving him a good fight. I feel dudes gotta really prove themselves. Spence, my favorite welter could lose to manny, Danny or Keith if he ain't on his shyt, Shawn and brook gave him hell. I just think everyone needs to earn their crowns fully. It's cool that we all have our picks, just don't think it's etched in stone.

Man should teach but there is that ferocity he and Duran possessed that you just can't teach.

Tyson has reached a level of natural enlightenment.
Tyson smoked DMT and experienced a complete ego loss. Check out the Sportscenter video on it.

He should really be training or doing some corner work, since he seems to have his faculties.

I've never tried it, but if you read about it, it's supposed to change your life in a very positive way. I had a mild ego loss in August when I took too many (or just enough?!) shrooms. Changes your life.
