    From 135 Floyd never faced anyone alone, by then he's sold his soul to Sin City & became the Vegas cash cow.
    That way he only faced the ones he knew couldn't beat him as long as he ws still standing at the final bell. he a;lso knew his "help" had enormous brooms to sweep his discretions under the carpet

    Maybe not Crawford, but its hard for me to rate Spence above even the Canelo that Mayweather fought.

    Is the Spence that Crawford fought really THAT much better than the Pac that Mayweather fought? Idk... if he is better I don't think it's by much.

    So you also visit Floyd's facebook page and read people's comments? I bet you have an autographed copy of his musty trunks framed on your wall. :)

    ROFLMAO Far from it its none stop on the internet open pages him & his TMT cronies bragging how great he is. There are very few comments agreeing with him most make fun of him. He's just making a fool of himself but too dumb to realize it
    Ive never had anything to do with him as I have absolutely no respect whatsoever for any man that beats a woman, but there again I'd hardly call Floyd a Man!! I haven't watched a fight of his since Maidana beat his ass but got screwed. Ive never bought a PPV of his I leave the sick hero worship to you naïve guys

    You must remember Pac was sabotaged by the NSAC right before the fight when they refused him his previously promised legal Toradol shot for the pain from his torn rotator cuff so the fight could go on NSAC & they did not have the authority. Remember that's the same NSAC that issued the statement " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong so we will not be investigating" !!!! When asked if they would investigate IV gate LOL
    Then the icing on the cake was they issued Floyd a retroactive TUE for the illegal Saline drip treatment he was caught receiving in his own home 24 hours before the fight he had received in his own home
    Then people wonder why boxing is dying a death

    Personally I think Spence is completely overrated. Like Bomac said, Spence is good as far as fundamentals FOR THE MOST PART minus some flaws like poor balance, but other than that he is basic as hell and that is simply a no-go-joe when fighting at the elite level. The only thing you can give him is his awkward timing can throw people off, but thats about it. Guy's whole resume consists of crushing cans and a few guys like Garcia who are okay, but are not at the elite level. Spence shouldn't even be part of the conversation haha as he is just that inferior to Floyd or Pacquiao.

    I don't think that version of Spence that Crawford defeated should be used as a measuring stick. Like Thurman said, "That Spence loses to Shawn Porter and Thurman."

    Floyd has zero prime elite wins. He had opportunity to beat prime versions of Cotto and Manny but it can be argued if Cotto was ever elite. Canelo was probably too green and there was a catchweight although it can also be debated if Canelo was ever elite.

    Floyd did beat prime versions of Hatton and Corrales although Corrales maybe been drained too.

    Nonetheless Floyd fought Mosley and DLH (guys Floyd called out and tried to fight earlier in his career) who were both past-it, Manny was past-it, Cotto past-it, JMM never a WW, Genaro literally at end of career, Canelo was probably green, and Judah after he was stopped by Baldomir.

    When you look back on Floyds career he had a bunch of good wins, a few great wins, and zero elite wins. Floyd's career is not as impressive as Mannys and is why I have Manny ranked ahead of Floyd ATG

    Floyd beat a drained to **** Corrales.

    Crawford beat a drained to **** Spence who had one fight in 30 months coming off clear signs of brain trauma.

    Crawford especially doesn't deserve all this deranged credit for beating such a compromised fighter. It's really stupid

    I think the criticisms re. Floyd and is career are totally valid

    But fact is his resume poops all over Crawford's and unlike Crawford he was often the smaller man

    To add to your good points, Hatton wasn't prime. Hatton looked **** at 147lbs when he fought Collazo, some thinking Collazo should have won. Hatton then went back to 140lbs, then Floyd dragged him up to 147lbs again (the lure of money). Floyd then also clearly had the ref protecting him breaking the fight up constantly. Shameless opportunism and being protected

    Floyd is not nearly as good as his fangirls believe him to be. He does not have 1 elite prime vs prime win on his record. That's how you can identify a fraudster

    Hatton fought Floyd at 147 and Collazo afterward. Hatton was prime but nobody would say he was elite...and he was best at 140 not 147.

    Floyd still was special though...just not TBE
