If Crawford called out Floyd?
We know that the GGG fans had sleepless nights at the prospect of him stepping up and fighting Ward..and we all know those same fans would be terrified of Lomachenko stepping up in a catchweight fight against Crawford...
So..
Let's say after the 26th of August and a quick KO of Conor McGregor would Floyd be even remotely interested if Crawford called him out for a 147 showdown?
I know the answer is No due to the money and the fact he is certain it's his last fight...but if it DID happen..how do you see it going down..?

Crawford win, Floyd's old.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Crawford is the present and should focus on like minded challengers who want to fight real boxers.

Crawford would have the biggest payday of his life.
Name one boxer that would not fight Conor McGregor for all these millions on the table in this crossover payperview scam event.
If Floyd schooled Crawford to make 51-0 then that would be way more satisfying for his career than seeing him beat Canelo again.
It's not going to happen but it's interesting.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
I don't thinks it's Conor bringing in the millions and mass buzz, he's calling him out and going to him. Crawford while peaking and the one with the future hasn't the media draw of Mayweather. Don't get me wrong wouldn't mind Mayweather getting serious about the sport again and Crawford definitely would step up but lot's of ifs. Two main things pull Mayweathers strings and that's money and the label of p4p status. I think last is the only reason he targeted Marquez in 'comeback'. Should Crawford take top scalps at 147 which I think he does save for maybe Spence in a great 'what if' and ride #1 p4p, who knows with Floyd. Just don't see him being serious again.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Floyd is not interested in real challenges. Fcuk Floyd and hope he stays retired and out of boxing forever.
-
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
No way it would happen. Floyd would almost for sure lose. He is old and much slower than he used to be. I think even a Floyd of 10 years ago has trouble with Crawford. So the what if is that Crawford wins handily.
If Floyd did someone manage to pull off the win, I would put him top 5 ever because it would be an amazing win at his age against an elite fighter.

Are you saying Floyd never took a challenge?
Your hate for Floyd is at its peak.

I never said never but if he was interested in a serious challenge he would not have taken Conor. That is a serious insult and two fingers up to boxing.
Sooner he retires and out of boxing the better. He has hurt boxing with his "A side" crap and fighting good challengers with certain stipulations whilst all the time taking intravenous blood into his system to recover. Illegal and hypocritical woman beater should disintegrate into nothing.
Other than that, I wish him well. :)

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Terence Crawford has vacated the IBF junior welterweight world title he won by knocking out Julius Indongo less than a fortnight ago.
Crawford matched a feat only Bernard Hopkins achieved by holding all four straps in a division when he stopped Indongo in the third round at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Nebraska.
After unifying the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO titles, the American has relinquished the IBF belt.
Crawford was facing a mandatory defence of the IBF title against Sergey Lipinets, with purse bids for that fight due on Thursday.
The 29-year-old opted to hand over the belt but kept hold of the other three straps as he considers his options.
Crawford announced after defeating Indongo that he plans to step up to 147lb in a bid to "conquer the welterweight division".

If horn beat Pacquiao convincingly in a rematch, Crawford would destroy Horn. Although, I think that for Crawfords sake, beating Pacquiao would boost his status much more.

Well surely. But if Pacquiao wanted that sort of action we never would have seen Pac/Horn. Pac is retired, whether he fights on or not. Same as Floyd. They aren't top guys anymore and aren't interested in top guys.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Right now Floyd is of course the bigger guy fighting at 154 and all, but Bud Crawford has all the talent in the world and is in his PRIME (reason #1 Floyd ain't fighting him or Thurman or Spence). Crawford is 5'8 (same as Floyd) he's got a shorter reach at 70" to Floyd's 72" but Crawford not only can box he has some pop to his punches.
I would like that fight much much more than a fight like Floyd vs McGregor
If Floyd really honestly and truly believed he "owed the fans" he'd have fought someone like Crawford instead of Conor....no disrespect to Conor but he's an MMA fighter not a boxer.
-
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Forget disrespecting Conor he is a whore and equally as bad as Floyd for making that fight.
Floyd does not have 50 wins. That was not a boxer.

I don't blame Conor or Floyd for making money, make all the money you can, but that was an exhibition bout at best....if fair is fair then Floyd should fight Conor in an MMA bout
I do not blame those guys for making money, but that fight means NOTHING and Floyd looks bad for allowing Conor to stay in the fight for so long and do as well as he did....yes FLOYD LOOKS BAD from that fight. Maybe that's how he wants it ( to set up some other fight) , maybe he's just slowing down, I don't know, I don't care because it was an exhibition bout.

@Batman , PRECISELY!!! Thank you for your continued pursuit of justice in the name of common sense, it is greatly appreciated.
Master doesn't know his ass from his elbow, that's why he continually contradicts himself.
I am more than happy to take any forfeit bestowed upon me safe in the knowledge that I AM THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Doesn't make financial sense for Floyd to risk his record
This fight wouldn't do big numbers as Crawford isn't a big name.
Crawford has plenty of options but why not beat the piss out of Horn
That's an easy paycheque for him if he's willing to travel down under.

Doesn't make financial sense for Crawford to travel to Australia and risk his record.....that doesn't make sense Horn is not a huge name himself.
Crawford can have PLENTY of easy paychecks it's just the case of does he want easy money or does he want to establish himself as a great fighter and calling out Floyd, landing that fight, being the one to end Floyd's unbeaten streak would accomplish that and then some.
Floyd certainly doesn't HAVE to do anything, but the whole "He's too good to fight ________, ________, or _______" argument is a very weak one. He was shitty enough to fight somebody with 0 pro bouts and 0 pro rounds soooo fighting a Prime undefeated boxer would indeed check off some boxes for proper fight fans and although it wouldn't draw in MMA fans or rabid Irish fans it would draw eyes because it would be a dangerous fight.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
@El Kabong there's no risk for Crawford because Horn is shit
Crawford would be risking nothing fighting Horn (he'd KO him)
Mayweather has retired and will be 41 in less than six months.
Really Crawford should be calling out Garcia, Thurman, Spence
Or other fighters in their prime around his weight class.

I don't care if Horn is shit. You assume Crawford would KO him (he probably would) but it doesn't mean there's no risk. And to that point if Floyd isn't willing to take a risk then that tells everyone the story of his career...the biggest risks he ever took were Diego Corrales and Canelo 2 guys in their primes....that is all, Great????
Mayweather can still fight, 41 is not all that old.
Crawford can call out whoever he wants if he's calling out Floyd and aiming for the tippy top of the boxing game then more power to him, I'm not going to begrudge him that. That's like Floyd making big money from BOXING an MMA fighter, I don't begrudge him the money, it's a shitty fight and whoever bought it is a dope, but I'm not saying the guy didn't earn that money. If Crawford is calling out Floyd it means he wants THE BEST so you call out Floyd and anyone can step up and answer that, Garcia Thurman Spence, anyone and I am sure they will.
-
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
I reckon that Mayweather knows that he has lost a step and that father time is catching up with him fast, he knows that Crawford or anyone like that would be a massive risk, hence why he fought someone who is not a boxer.
His ego is too big to let him risk the 0, I think that he is done.
-
Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
I don't know who you consider great @El Kabong
But what was Ali, Leonard, Robinson and Jones doing at 41?
Floyd is still unbeaten and was still fighting at the highest level
Well into his late 30s whereas most guys had long since retired.
Leonard, Ali, Tyson, Jones were all getting beat up in their late 30s
You obviously want to see Floyd get beaten but it'll never happen
50-0 with hundreds of millions in the bank. He doesn't need Crawford.

If the greats picked and chose their fights to the extent Floyd did and breaks he had in between, they would be fighting until they were 41.
Forget Floyd, his records will be surpassed and he will be forgotten. His legacy is nothing compared to the real great fighters.

Re: If Crawford called out Floyd?
Eh Floyd is 41 years old which is pretty much being a 1000 in this sport he cashed out with Conner and he is done. Crawford is the future though which is nice because i was not so sure how it be when big guys left.

Boxing moves on and if it can find great fighters after Ali and Leonard then it can certainly find them after Floyd.

So why the fuck do you keep talking about him? Because while you keep banging on about him, he remains relevant and boxing doesn't "Move on"!
Let it fucking go ffs.

There is a thread about him so I am commenting on it, Sherlock.

Leonard did take breaks between fights
And actually fought ten times less than Floyd.
The man won belts in five weight divisions
And had over 20 world title fights (all of which he won)
I'm not saying Floyd is the greatest of all time (he isn't)
But he's still a great fighter and nobody can argue that.

That doesn't compute with @Master, he sees the words 'Mayweather' and 'great fighter' and automatically goes on the defensive and thinks that people are saying he is the greatest man ever to lace up a pair of gloves.
