    Yeah Crawford has wider shoulders but Mayweathers arms are the same, or slightly longer when I look at HBO measurements

    That's fair, Crawford would be the best long boxer he faced by a distance.

    I'm also remembering Judah outboxing Floyd in the early going and Floyd had to resort to walking Judah down. He wouldn't be able to do that against Bud

    I was about to say it... Anyone who thinks he'd beat Hagler should seriously consider psychotherapy.
    Actually, he would lose to all 3.

    Hearns knocks him out
    Hagler knocks him out
    Mayweather depends on weight. If favor Floyd at lower weight classes Crawford gets the edge higher

    Hearns only lost to Barkley due to size and Hagler's lossess were controversial.

    And Crawford would've handled Barkley with ease

    Given 15 rounds Hagler could KO Bud in 3 just like he did Hearns and not even need all of the remaining 12 to put an absolute schooling on Canelo

    Holy glaze. Crawford loses to all of them. Which opponent has he fought that's anywhere near the level of these guys? Mayweather is his best chance of victory & I'd still pick Mayweather. Crawford is getting seriously overrated & I'm a fan.
