    I don’t think Crawford has achieved as much as Mayweather but I do believe Crawford would defeat MoneyMay. Crawfords technical ability genuinely stuns me. More so than Usyk’s does. I just can’t imagine anybody in the last decade beating Crawford.

    Alvarez finding silver lining in the loss and spitting into the past at Floyd.

    Mayweather was something, and there is no taking away that from him. Crawford is great, but this version of Canelo was ripe for upset, even if it wasn't certain whether his recent lacking performances (Ryder on his last legs, Berlanga brutally knocked out in the next fight, Munguia brutally knocked out soon, Scull being Scull, Charlo being a scared midget all due respect) were the result of age-based careful matchmaking, or as Robert Garcua said, him holding some gas back.

    In hindsight he was naturally right to swerve Benavidez.

    This is Floyd’s comments about Canelo being easy work:

    Floyd was closer 40 in age and way past his best when he cooked Canelo.

    Naturally the last guy that kicked his ass is better the first. It’s called “cope”.

    Styles make fights, Floyd would outpoint Crawford H2H.

    Floyd says he was way past his best when he beat a young 23 year old Canelo who had already had 40 fights and was an 8 year professional veteran and reigning unified world champion.

    Floyd’s hands and feet are a bit faster and he is better defensively so I would give the edge to Floyd.

    Lots of people think they can beat Floyd, then they get in the ring and can't lay a.glove on him. I honestly don't know. I think Crawford has a good chance but he's never had to deal with anything that is even close to Mayweather. No one that even comes close in reflexes and ability to make you miss.

    You have got it wrong. I agree with Floyd he made easy work of Canelo outclassing. Canelo is lying say Bud is way better than Mayweather.

    Floyd was 36 when he beat Canelo. Don't diminish Alvarez, he was one of Floyd's best victories.

    I am not diminishing just saying Floyd made easy work of him.
