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
