Higher ring IQ Crawford or Mayweather

Whilst Floyd stacked the deck and has a few asterisks against some of his best wins - there are not many fighters in any division that beat him in terms of IQ, adjustments and adaptability IMO.

 

Floyd. But Crawford COULD beat him at 147

 

Crawford beat and stopped fighters like Maidana and JLC. He didnt need judge support.

Crawford had Thurman, Garcia, Porter, and Spence running from him for YEARS. Floyd was fortunate to not have that issue. Crawford put an exclamation on his career and resume by stopping the best PBC fighters anyway.

Crawford's lone win over Spence is better than any single win on Floyds resume. Take that to the bank.

 

Mayweather fought Maidana at almost 37 years old after being a pro for almost 20 years, and when has Crawford stopped someone of Castillo's level ? Shawn Porter who hadn't fought in over a year and was on verge of retirement ? a past it Kell Brook who's eye got mangled by Golovkin ? Crawford has never stopped anyone as good as a prime Jose Luis Castillo, and it would be his 2nd best win on his resume had he beat Castillo.

A Spence who had been in two car crashes and only fought 4 times in 4 years is better than any win on Mayweather's resume ? nah i don't think so buddy.

 

Madiabna is ?

 

Debateable. To put this in perspective, Buddy and Meldrick would be top 5 p4p in this era.

 

Has Crawford even beat a fighter as good as Judah?

 

Meldeick and buddy were better than Spence. Buddy arguably drew with Pernell the first fight and Meldeick was beating Chavez before getting stupid. I don't see Spence, let alone anyone in this era, beimg.competitive against Pernell and Chavez Se

 

They have a saying in arboriculture. "Floyds don't grow on trees."
You'd think it would be a saying in boxing but it's mostly in arboriculture. It was coined by a non-arboriculturist named Victor Ortiz.

 

DOCTOR Victor Ortiz.

 

So...are you on drugs?

JLC was TKOd 4 times prior to fighting Floyd and 3 times after fighting Floyd. JLC just wasnt that good of a fighter even if he gave Floyd hell. Every fighter has a vulnerable style and Floyd did not handle pressure fighters with roughhouse tactics well. Sorry if thats news to you.

Also, Spence and Porter and Postol and Gamboa and Mean Machine are all better than JLC. Maybe more too, but those are the only definite.

And, to be clear, prime Floyd LOST to JLC in a narrow decision.

What do car crashes have anything to do with boxing? WTF? Spence dominated Danny and Spence stopped Ugas before the Crawford fight and the car accidents happened before those fights...but it wasnt a problem then lmao

And that was the same Spence that slapped Floyd around sparring...so yah, bro, yah
