unfortutanely Crawford wouldn't be able to fight a 21 year old drained canelo with no experience now He would be fighting a 160 monster 28 year old with tons of experience
Because Canelo was just able to slip by the top guys of his division back then whereas he's now able to dominate the top guys of his division...wait.
Know the difference between hurt and stun. He never hurt Mayweather. He stun or buzzed him twice in that fight. Which Mayweather still came forward and hurt him in return. Mayweather controlled and dominated Corley the whole fight. Try again buddy.
First off the old bull**** get used way too much. Mayweather is older than Cotto, Pac and Hatton. Been a professional boxer longer than all of them too. Hatton was in his prime and was undefeated when he fought Mayweather, and the unified JWW champ. Mosley was 3rd best WW at the time and just came off of big win knocking out Margarita. Who was considered the boogieman and most avoided fighter at that time. Hernandez was older, but only 1 lost and he was the champion @ 130 when they fought. Castillo was a top fighter when they fought and he wasn't limited. Corrales was 135 champ, underfeated and KO'ing everybody he was fighting. De La Hoya was past prime, but he was still a champ @ 154 and Mayweather moved up to fight him. Out of all these fighters, Hatton was prime, Castillo, Corrales were in their prime.
Mismatch! Mayweather is leagues, and I mean leagues above the overrated Craw-Fish who is as stiff as they come, and as defensively liable as they come. Craw-Fish isn't even landing a clean punch on Mayweather, if he doesn't want to be hit. Meanwhile, Craw-Fish would get hit more than he was by jokes like shot to pieces Amir Kham and Gamboa. For Craw-Fish to even qualify as a worthy opponent, he needs to first face and beat Canelo Alvarez. Otherwise, he doesn't even belong in the same sentence / breath as his master that is Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Canelo is the same fighter he's always been. Any version of Canelo would be whooped by Mayweather. Mayweather was past his prime when he schooled Canelo. A prime Mayweather would've stopped that Canelo inside the distance like he did Arturo Gatti.
Floyd doesn't take fights with this kind of risk. It's even more pointless than talking about Floyd fighting Margarito, Williams, Tszyu, prime Pac etc. He ducked the 's h I t out of anyone with a pulse, which just shows how good Canelo really is.
Here we go again. There is always some boogeyman out there that Floyd didn't fight. If he did fight said fighter you guys would just make up some excuse as to why Floyd won the fight. Most of you guys know damn well that Floyd would school Margo. He is the same flat-footed, non moving fighter you guys claim Floyd cherry picks but since he didn't fight him you bring him up. Paul Williams moved up to Middleweight while Floyd was retired then lost to Sergio. Months before Floyd beat JJM by a wide UD. If the Williams fight could have possibly took place and Floyd won most of you would have just condemned Floyd for fighting a fighter coming off a loss and coming down in weight to make the fight. Tszyu was never in the mix because he retired and i won't begin to get into the PAC drama. With that said he would be favored in all four of those fights if they were made and would win by a wide UD. Why is this even a discussion?
Prime Floyd would completely outbox Crawford. Crawford squares up and throws wide when he gets a bit frustrated, that’s a recipe for disaster against a sharp-shooting counter-puncher like, Floyd. The only advantage Crawford would have are reach and punching power. Floyd was simply better all-around. Too sharp, too athletic, too smart.
