    There are few similarities between Floyd and T craw. However one of them y'all misinterpret as a flaw.

    Both Floyd and Crawford setup and fight primarily from THE POCKET. Floyd fights with his weight equally distributed or more distributed over his lead knee. T-craw does at most equal but mostly 45/55, as he is not as naturally quick as floyd. From the front foot you can easily slide back and create separation/pivot. Crawford did this early and repeatedly hit Postol with his check hook, which proved to be pivotal.

    Point is both crawford and floyd setup in the pocket and operate from the pocket and use movement when necessary. That's not cowardice that's smart boxing.

    Floyd throws a rangefinder jab around the middle of round two, and flys like a scalded cat to the other side of a ring to avoid a counter that doesn't exist.

    This point skirts away from the main issue. The fact is that when PBF and the like face equal or better opposition they sit back and wait for you to throw, content to not throw a punch for minutes on end.

    Hence the question- what if you put two of these guys in the ring.

    Incidentally, for those voting this would be an excellent fight (excluding humour votes), I would be interesting to hear how this would pan out.

    Don't bother trying to explain. This forum see's bar room brawling as boxing.
