If Floyd had a 12 week training camp at 46 he would habe done better than Spence.
Floyd is retired, old and happy and obviously it’s not going to happen.
Pretty boy Floyd Vs a prime Crawford would be a dream fight.

Crawford is better than Floyd... people won't like that but its the truth.
Pretty boy Floyd never existed in your world.Quote:

Crawford would have beaten Floyd at Welterweight in their primes never mind an old 46 year old.
who do you guys think wins errol spence vs sugar ray robinson?
Didn’t you say Pac was more skilled than Floyd? Which might be the single most wrong statement anyone has ever said on this board. Perhaps you aren’t the best at being honest about Floyd, or judging his talentQuote:

Floyd was at his best at the lower weights. Near flawless. As he moved up the weights he was more selective to pick up the titles.
Everyone leg humping Bud now huh ?
The only way to beat Crawford is in a boring to death fight, winning every round close but clear and without risking anything.
Guess who was the master of those kind of fights ?
MONEY MAY
Floyd would make a stinker of it, using his shoulder guard and high right hand waiting for Crawford to blow his load. Floyd would be all wrong for Crawford. Styles make fights. A counter puncher vs a counter puncher…superior speed, timing, and defense wins. He would make Crawford the aggressor and counter him. Floyd would not engage Crawford the way Spence did.
You will NEVER beat Floyd at his own game.
Best version of Spence has better chance then Crawford pre accident of beating Floyd with his pressure style and skills. Floyd is the type of guy you NEED to go after and get, this isn’t Crawford’s style. Crawford will stay on the outside and get out pointed every single round. Out foxed, out smarted, out boxed.
Floyd is light years ahead boxing IQ wise. 8-4 victory for Mayweather. Makes it look easy. Crawford would be down going into late rounds and praying to land a huge knockout punch. Mayweather is better at adjusting. Crawford kinda does well adjusting except it’s not as nuanced. He basically just increases his output and precision. Mayweather collects data and figures what kind of style he’s going to fight the rest of the way
Nobody in this era destroys Mayweather. Nobody in this era beats Mayweather. Crawford a great fighter in his generation. Mayweather one of the greatest fighters of all time. There are levels to this
I'm going to take Sugar at the lower weights. I was never big on Spence. Sugar knew how to deal with thumpers and I think had the stamina and footwork to sentence Spence to death by a thousand cuts. I don't think Spence is as much of tank as Basilio was and you can see Sugar using many of the same type of inside counters on over reaching opponents that Crawford used on Spence. Some people will say Spence was changed by the accident, I personally don't believe it makes a difference. The method would have the same and it wasn't the weight, power or timing but the precision, that took Spence apart. Bud knew everything Spence was going to do before it happened and it allowed him to be stand fearlessly and counter when Spence thought he would be covering or on the run. Sugar would be able get a lot of the same work done against Spence.Quote:
