Floyd was never an ATG at welterweight. His best performance came at the lower weights and he did not have to face a top fighter at this weight. So you could be right.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
This hot take is absurdly stupid
I love watching Crawford fight, but before you start comparing him with Floyd, he’s got to start beating some more relevant fighters.
Last night was great, but the choices this guy has made in management and promoters has probably negated him the right to be mentioned in such conversations.
Maybe he coulda beat everyone , but we’re never gonna know.
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
I’ve said this on another thread, but I just don’t see it.
I do get the point that he actually moved up in weight and all that, but (to me anyway) he is like a Buddy McGirt or a Winky Wright type - really good, tough, solid technician but doesn’t do anything spectacular in there or risk going balls out anytime.
I was never a Mayweather fan really, but I could see that he was an exceptional talent in there. I don’t see that with Crawford.
Admittedly, he has never really been troubled so he must be fucking good ….. but an ATG? Better than Mayweather? I get the feeling that I must be missing something as everyone else thinks differently?

If only Arum had afforded him the same stroke and big fight opportunities from day 1. I'll say I would much rather watch Bud fight but the comparisons are few and far between. Styles, temperament, backing and career trajectory. It's odd really Bud is a guy who didn't even fight a 10 rounder or main event a major card until what 26 or 27 years old? And he had to take that as a 3 day late substitute v Prescott. He really had to scratch and claw his way into the main stream conscious and that you have to respect big time. I said it a couple years ago and unfortunately it's playing out..Bob and Bud have really squandered his prime career and it feels in hindsight there will be a lot of woulda-coulda-shoulda when he looks back as he's now going on 35. Mayweather love him or hate him has a much superior list of opponents and I'd even say ring identity and certainty about him. You could see Crawford at times almost seemed bored in some of his defenses with the major showdowns missed. He got into some careless exchanges for the sake of excitement imo. But one thing he has that Floyd did not post Pretty Boy early run aside, Bud has that finishing mean streak. He can adjust with the best and once he downshifts he aims to build on his advantages and just beat you up. Ironically the big picture career path seemed to lack that same urgency regardless of where the fingers point promotion of fighter. He's just never cemented his identity and the clock is ticking.
