DEFINITELY Shane at 135. You saw the problems Bud had with Gamboa. Now picture lightweight Mosley landing on him like that... 147 is more debatable, but I'm taking Shane there too. Mosley has emphatic wins over prime Oscar and Margarito, and Bud has wins over.... yeah... Mosley would have half killed Horn, Benavidez, Khan, Green Machine, and shot Brook.
Another problem Bud has against Mosley is that he's used to physically manhandling his opponents. Mosley was stronger, so that alone is a problem for Bud.
Despite his TECHNICAL Advantages, Crawford Would Be SMALLER, SLOWER and WEAKER than Sugar Shane... There's a GOOD Chance Bud Doesn't Survive the 2-3 Round ADJUSTMENT Period He Typically Requires to Figure Out/Eventually Dominate His Opponents... Sugar Shane Wins 7 Out of 10...By KO 4-5 of Those Times... REED
What technical advantages? Is there anything that Bud does better than Shane? Because I certainly haven’t seen some incredible boxing skills from him. If anything he seems less technical than Shane especially with how he throws his shots. Most of his fights seem to be won because of a distinct power and lack of quality of opposition advantage. And this isn’t even me being a Mosley stan but more of a Crawford hater.
Crawford's More Technically SOUND Than Sugar Shane Bruh...He's More Vernon Forrest/James Toney/Bernard Hopkins than Sugar Shane/Roy Jones... More Versatile, Higher Ring IQ, Much Better @ Weathering/Overcoming/Adjusting to Adversity...Crawford's Greatness Is More SUBTLE Than Shane's, But it's There... Wouldn't Help Crawford Head to Head Though... REED
