    Let's say prime for prime at their respective welterweight best - although it's occasionally still and has long been discussed as being the fight that could lure the retired Mayweather back into the legitimate non-exhibition boxing PPV fold.

    Tim Bradley confidently picks Crawford; Max Kellerman equally so Mayweather:

    Bob Arum, who played a large role in cultivating both men's careers, originally thought it a clear victory for Mayweather but pulled a 180 after Crawford defeated Errol Spence.

    Mayweather would have avoided Crawford if they were the same age and era.

    Mayweather all day long competed at a much higher level and has beaten far superior fighters overall I'll go with the much more proven Mayweather he always found a way to win.

    ODLH----> Madrimov

    Pacquiao----> Spence

    Corrales----> Burns

    Cotto---> Porter

    Marquez---> Gamboa

    Floyd on points. Both are counter punchers. I have seen Floyd face elite counter punchers and be able to land while not getting touched. I haven't seen Crawford fight an elite counter puncher. Crawford being southpaw is susceptible to the straight right hand. Floyd's straight right hand was elite. Crawford is susceptible to level changes. Floyd was elite at level changes. Floyd was a more accurate puncher and harder to hit. I don't think it would be an exciting fight but Floyd has the tools to out box him.

    If so inclined, feel free to conjugate any deviations in result should this fight take place at:

    135lb
    140lb
    147lb
    154lb

    It would be a close, tactical fight. Both are relatively slow starters, so the one who takes the early rounds will build the nessesary lead to get the decision.

    IB Funfact: Mayweather once said that if Terence Crawford fought & stopped Errol Spence Jr., he would un-retire to make the generational dream match happen. Since that very scenario played out in July of 2023, radio silence from PBF on the subject.

    I think 135 was not the best division for either of them. Floyd should've lost to Castillo, and he looked pale vs Sosa. Crawford also showed more at higher divisions. I think he was too big for 135 and cut too much weight for his fights at 135 division.

    You believe a two car accident, face shattered, alcoholic, weight drained Spence was better than the older Pacquiao that fought Mayweather?

    The older Pacquaio that continued on and became a champion after his loss to Mayweather?

    Believe Spence has that in him now?

    Yes but you're a notorious Mayweather hater so you have an agenda and can't debate honestly or without bias in regards to Mayweather hence your opinion is not to be taken seriously but i'll easily refute your points.

    ODLH = The fights with Hopkins, Sturm, were at Middleweight not Jr Middleweight big difference. ODLH was coming off a stand out performance vs Mayorga at "Jr Middleweight" coming into the fight vs Mayweather and he was actually the betting favourite i believe

    Madrimov = No one knows how good Madrimov is until he proves himself the win could age well or age poorly.

    Hence beating ODLH is a better win than Madrimov as it stands today.

    How did Mayweather avoid Mosley when he actually fought him after he destroyed Margarito ? that makes no sense.

    And how did Mayweather avoid Trinidad what ? do you just make stuff up as you go along ? Trinidad's last fight at Welterweight was in 1999 at this time Mayweather was at Super Featherweight you're just making stuff up and aren't clued up on your history.

    Spence wasn't faded ? he'd been in multiple car crashes had been inactive he also looked like a zombie vs Crawford and has not fought since with doctors suggesting he has brain trauma.

    Mayweather was older than Pacquiao and he would retire the same year he was also past his best so no excuses. Pacquiao also become a champion after losing to Mayweather remind me again what Spence has done recently ?


    Are you kidding me ? what has Corrales problems in regards to his personal life have to do with Mayweather ? that's the worst copium argument i've ever heard just because you dislike a fighter.

    The facts are Corrales was a top 10 undefeated P4P fighter the odds were near enough even and Mayweather destroyed him.

    Corrales was not average....and comparing him to Burns is simply dishonest from you. You also fail to mention Burns got his jaw broken and a gift draw vs Beltan prior to the Crawford fight so he shouldn't of even been champion. Funny how you leave that part out and only have an agenda on all of Mayweather's wins.

    Not even at all Marquez is far greater than Gamboa and he actually had success at Welterweight knocking out Pacquiao.

    I believe he was recovered, and let's not forget he is much bigger than Pacquiao. Size matters in boxing.

    The Pacquiao that fought Mayweather was not as dangerous as the one who fought Margarito, DLH and Cotto.

    And yes, Spence could fight on if he wanted to.
