    Crawford at 147
    Mayweather at 140

    Don't think Mayweather has enough power to keep Crawford off of him at 147. Crawford will take a shot to land a shot. Mayweather won't make him pay enough.

    At 140 Mayweathers power was better and his speed advantage would be enough to win a decision vs Crawford.

    147 isn't Mayweathers prime

    To be fair same can be said the other way. Crawford got dropped and struggled vs Kavaliauskas. Do you think Mayweather would?

    Has anybody seen Crawford fight a super slick boxer who is also faster than him?

    You could say the same thing for Mayweather. And none the guys that were faster than him were slick, at all.

    Floyd always found a way. It’s difficult to pick against Floyd regardless of opponent. He was a master boxer, one of the greats of all time with a record that speaks for itself, both in terms of opponents and number of high level fights. I am a HUGE Crawford fan though. He is an awesome fighter.

    Crawford is not faster or cleverer

    Floyd beats Bud at any weight.

    He has every bit the ring IQ as Mayweather and he's just as fast.

    But that wasn't my point, the faster guys than Mayweather weren't slick (IE Pacquiao and Judah).

    You say this everytime you put a hypothetical against Floyd without putting much thought and effort. Floyd loses every hypothetical matchup because his haters put bias and don't use much thought thinking. Floyd has fought plenty, PLENTY guys like Crawford. He fought a undisputed southpaw and Judah, he fought a good switch hitter and Manny Paq, he has fought in catch weights and De La Hoya. You guys always pull up this stupid argument that oh he has never fought a guy like this, a guy like this. You could say this for any fighter, no one fighter fights the exact same, put people do have similar styles and that's what matters. Floyd has definitely fought people like Crawford and Crawford has never fought anyone like Floyd. Floyd is KO Crawford in 8 maybe 7 rounds if we talking Prime.

    Crawford does not have May's IQ and speed. You should go back and watch pretty boy and tell me if this medium speed flat footed Crawford has half the speed Floyd does. So not only is Crawford not fast and smart as Mayweather, Mayweather has also fought slicker opponents. Judah is very slick, Canelo is slick but the reason fighters don't look slick against Mayweather is because he is way too accurate. I guarantee if Crawford fought Mayweather Crawford would look as slick as dry sandpaper standing in a desert for 1000 years. No one looks slick against Mayweather, nobody would fight others the same way they fight Mayweather, why do people still assume this. You always assume this fighter would fight this way they fight this fighter or vise versa, Floyd never fights the same way but his tactics and IQ virtually remains the same. Crawford would NOT look Slick against Floyd, the same mysterious "slickness" you so claim he has in other fights. Floyd would piece up Crawford so much he would look like the fattest target known to mankind SMH.

    Mayweather has fought better fighters with longer reaches. Corley was a somewhat good southpaw who had a longer reach, let's not forget De La Hoya who is of course better than Crawford.

    No, I don't see Floyd struggling with Maidana either, how do you fight someone twice and beat them twice clearly and still say you "struggled." Ya'll Floyd haters make absolutely no sense when debating
