    36 year old Mayweather vs 35/36 year old Crawford.

    We all know young Mayweather likely beats young Crawford with relative ease, he had a different level of athleticism, and kind of like Roy Jones over James Toney, he would just be able to pepper him without getting much back.

    Floyd at 36's feet had slowed a tad and he would actually stand his ground more, Crawford has aged like fine wine and got better and more cerebral with age. Crawford looks at his best at 147 lbs too.

    Who wins?

    Floyd.

    Mayweather doesn't fight people who can beat him and if he does he will find a way to handicap them.

    Nope. Waited out Cotto. Waited out Pacquiao. Didn't fight Margo. Forced Maidana to wear foam gloves. Drained baby Canelo who is a bum anyway. Ducked Khan (hehe). Morales sonned him in sparring & he ran off. IV bags. Lidocaine. Bought refs. House fighter. Nobody rewatches Money Mayweather fights. Played 3rd wheel to bodybuilder Anthony Joshua at a signing event and almost cried. Fake beard. Do I need go on.

    Puh-lease. Floyd retired after Hatton, came back a year and a half later and Cotto was already a beaten fighter. Cotto had alot of momentum and held a strap at 154 pounds so he was still looked at as a dangerous opponent, which showed by the success he was having against Floyd in that fight. Pacquiao is as much to blame for the mayweather-pac fight being dragged out for almost 6 years. And not fighting Margarito pre Mosley was a great decision on his part. The Mayweather who fought JMM would have put a beating on the Margarito who fought Mosley. And Canelo was so young and fit, I don't think the 2 pounds effected him at all. Khan? Meh.

    2 pounds didn't effect him? You think Spence could make 145 this weekend if asked? 1-2 pounds can be huge.

    Ignoring the main fact that Canelo is a one dimensional bum anyway. I'd knock him out.

    Voted Crawford. Bud wouldve been game w Floyd. Close fight. Mightve wound up being boring even due to both resorting to counter punching. But Floyd gets SMACKED like every other fighter (see Maidana, Mosley, and even Canelo hit him once real good).
