    I think Mayweather has the better resume, but if you want to put Crawford above him be my guest

    Terence Crawford


    Bigger wins and more impressive achievements


    Less manipulation/ducking and close fights

    Floyd's resume is unquestionably deeper but Bud is the better overall fighter, has no controversial decisions unlike Floyd and his wins against Spence and Canelo are as good as any Floyd win if not better.

    He beats Floyd H2H at any weight north of 135. He was never at his best at 135 with the weight cut and Floyd would have won. Bud beats him any weight higher.

    Why the comparison? Completely different legacies. Bud's is based on being undisputed. Floyd's is based on longevity and being the face of boxing.

    Ask me now and incredibly say Crawford.

    Ask me in a few weeks and I'll give it some legit thought.

    But 3 divisional fully unified is something special.

    Mayweather is better. It's quite obvious.

    Crawford. Because he fights the best in their prime. Mayweather did not.

    Crawford.

    I've said this many times in the past. Crawford also beats Mayweather H2H.

    Mayweather

    People forget how good some of the defences were that Floyd made because they have been forgotten under some of his big wins like Ndou, Chavez, Hernandez, Manfredy, Juuko, Rios
    Just as examples of very good wins that seem to be forgotten
