‘Crawford beats a prime 147 Mayweather’

He has a point. At 147, think about it, has Mayweather had a legacy fight like Crawford vs Spence? I mean a real fighter in his prime ,undefeated etc. No he hasnt at 147. We have to call it how it is, he cherry picked at 147. Floyd has fought no one near Crawford levels at Welterweight. It is a fair point from Frampton.

 

The Spence that fought on Saturday would have been battered by Maidana.

 

Frampton is bang on it, I don't know what the fuss is about, Crawford is seriously special and refreshingly laid back with it. I'd love to see 147 Mayweather Jnr in with the version of Shaun Porter that Crawford and Spence Jnr fought, that would not have been fun for him. Crawford's record is unfairly underrated, he fought whoever wanted it and dealt with everyone relatively comfortably. Anyone of the fighters Floyd fought at 147, Crawford deals with and I think he edges him too, he's a class act and it's nice to see him at the top.

 

Exactly. Pretty much every fighter on Crawford’s record would be a mayweather sparring partner.

I hope Crawford goes on to have a great run but right now he’s miles away from being anywhere near mayweather. People think he’s better than Duran and Leonard it’s utter madness.

His best win is Spence, and a very poor version of Spence, mayweather has at least ten wins better than that. To be honest Spence has a better record than Crawford.

 

By all accounts Spence beat Floyd down in sparring in the later part of Floyd's career. I'd fully expect Crawford to destroy him.

 

Good so you acknowledge a better resume doesn't mean he'd beat Crawford.

 

That is very true.

 

Josh Taylor has a better record than Crawford/Teo lopez/catterall but he won’t beat Crawford

 

No he doesn't. Teo beat Loma and won at 140.

 

Bud was someone i thought would always beat Floyd. World class switch hitter? Then the spitefulness, stamina, toughness, he beats Floyd.

Floyd was overrated at 147. Ancient Mosley nearly done him in a few rounds ffs.

 

Then he lost to the extremely limited Kambosis! Like I said I’m no hater of Crawford the guys awesome he’s just not there quite yet in terms of signature wins.

I’d favor him over anyone at 147 and 154 right now hopefully he has another solid 5 wins and really proves his greatness which I think he will. If he rips Benn apart then I will have him as my number 1 of all time!!

 

Josh Taylor doesn't have a better resume than Crawford.

 

Mayweather pulled out of an agreed fight with Khan to have a rematch with Maidana. Crawford would have given him fits.

Crawford certainly has the tools to beat Floyd. Whether he would is another question altogether. Mayweather was consistently excellent and everyone seems to claim multiple boxers would beat him, yet no one ever did.
