    Manny beats this guy, Canelo beats this guy, De La Hoya beats this guy. All these guys beating up each other but no one beat Floyd. Okay sure Manny beat those guys, he’s not beating Floyd, plain and simple. Manny beats those guys, not Floyd, plain and simple. Manny beats the guys Floyd beats, not Floyd himself. Plain and simple LOL

    JLC beat Floyd. Why do you keep ignoring/forgetting that?

    Why because it never happened, both fights were really close. And the JLC the first Floyd beat would easily beat Manny, that's a fact, don't accept watching boxing as a sport until you can realize Floyd won both fights. First fight was close, but Floyd definitely won that, fix your eyes before you can fix your knowledge.

    Depends on the judges. Floyd had his pet judges and referee.

    Crawford is more game than Floyd though, he'd want it more.

    Doesn't matter the judges, judges could try to rob Floyd like they did in olympics doesn't matter, cause Floyd would KO Crawford in 5 rounds LMFAO.

    What movers has Crawford fought. I haven’t seen him against 1 outside a shot Brook and those rounds shown Brook had success with being rangy and counter punching.

    If Crawford beats Canelo, we have to rate him higher than Mayweather.

    Mayweather fought a weight-drained, young pre-prime version of Alvarez. Crawford will be fighting a weight-comfortable, battle-tested Crawford.

    Beating an old, shot Canelo who hasn’t scored a knockout win in 4 years despite feasting on B/C level opposition doesn’t make him better than Floyd lol

    That’s also completely neglecting their entire careers outside of one Canelo fight: by his own admission, Crawford’s best wins are Postol and Ricky Burns. There’s at least a dozen fighters on Mayweather’s resume better than Postol and Burns

    Anyway it’s beside the point, as Crawford isn’t beating Canelo

    Mayweather's best wins are against boxers more faded than Canelo is now.

    Cotto, DLH, Pacquiao, and others had been brutally KOed before Mayweather was willing to fight them. Canelo has never been stopped, he's as sturdy as he ever was and a smarter fighter.

    Canelo is just as faded as most of them he just as a good chin and has been cherrypicking. Pacquiao won a world title in his 40s, Mayweather was also 38 when he fought Pacquiao

    Mayweather was the worst cherrypicker in boxing history. Canelo has been fighting bigger men than himself for years, mostly boxers in their prime (except for Kovalev who was somewhat faded).

    He's not nearly as carefully matched as Mayweather was. Floyd ducked many slightly larger super welterweights: Trinidad, Forrest, Wright and he avoided many when they were in their prime (Cotto, Margarito, DLH, Mosley, Pacquiao).

    Mayweather was never in the brutal wars Pacquiao was in, he never took much punishment during his career.

    Mayweather had home referees who would protect him from aggressive fighters like Hatton and Maidana. And Floyd was a very defensive-minded fighter who never got hit much, he would prefer to run out the clock for dull decision wins rather than be aggressive, go for the KO, and risk getting countered.

    And Mayweather took two years off to avoid the best fighters in the welterweight division at the time, waiting until they had wars with each other and were faded, before risking fighting them. When he came back, he faced the much smaller JMM.

    He beat the larger much younger Canelo who was already a champion at 154. Corrales was larger than Mayweather and undefeated. De La Hoya was faded but much natually bigger than Mayweather and had the A side advantages. He clearly beat Castillo and Maidana in rematches after they fight him to a controversial decision. He broke Hatton down, nothing about that fight was controversial
    Mayweather already moved up 4 weight classes and those 3 weren't at welterweight when he made the jump to 147, Oscar and Floyd were multiple weight classes apart when DLH was in his prime and he was arguably apart of the previous generation so it was never going to line up. Mayweather didn't duck Mosley, Mayweather actually chased that fight for years and Mosley was the one avoiding him.

    Cotto had beaten Mayorga and Margarito in the run up to the Mayweather fight and people always drag Mayweather for his stipulations but there was no catch weight between him and Cotto for the 154 championship
    Mayweather didnt take as much damage because he was better than Pacquiao. Floyd was still old no matter which way you slice it, Pacquiao was elite despite being past his prime
