Crawford would go through Floyd resume undefeated

True. I’m struggling to name one good win that Crawford has over a fighter who wasn’t old and completely shot to pieces… maybe Viktor Postol lol, that’s it

I’m no fan of Floyd, and while Floyd himself did fight a few names who were over the hill, his resume is light-years ahead of Crawford’s

 

I'm actually more of a Crawford fan than I am a Floyd fan but you shouldn't make that bet.

Crawford would have some major issues with: Castillo, Chico, Oscar at 154, Cotto at 154, Maidana. I personally think at 154 Crawford would've beaten "that" Canelo as well though. I do think he would've beaten pretty much everyone else on Floyd's resume including Manny and probably would've dominated Manny even worse than Floyd did.

 

Perhaps but he hasn't proved it at all. Castillo, Corales, Manny, Hatton, Marquez, Canelo, Cotto, Mosley and even Judah all have a chance of beating him.

 

Oscar too

 

Dont know why so many people get upset at this. Bud is much more dangerous than Floyd ever was.

 

That explains why Roach and Manny avoided Crawford...

 

I think Bud beats everyone you mentioned more decisively however Maidana takes years off Crawford career. Keep in mind Khan bodied Maidana...Crawford would do the same but even worse.

 

Crawford is a meaner and more powerful Floyd.

 

Castillo: is rough for all boxer/punchers

Chico: at 135 I could realistically see scenarios for a win from either. Diego was a beast on the inside and Crawford would get hit and try to play that game, I don't think that would be smart of him to try that.

Oscar at 154: Oscar would win the jab and combination war. And flurries Oscar didn't land on Floyd are gonna land on Crawford. Also Oscars strong hand (his front left) was better than Crawfords strong hand (front right), and so were the weaker sides. Finally Crawford parries with his front hand, Oscar is probably one of the top 5 boxers at parrying modern day.

Cotto at 154: IMO was simply a better boxer/puncher than Crawford, he was also a bit sturdier. He also could switch hit just like Crawford switches. Miguel was never really blown out the water by anyone other than Pac and really, really outboxed only by Floyd. Trout was just bigger as was Canelo and their size played into their advantage more than the skillset. I'm curious who was physically stronger though as Crawford seems crazy strong for his size.

Maidana: like Castillo is rough for all boxer/punchers, re Amir (Khan arguably lost to Maidana, by missed stoppage and points)

I can definitely see those men winning or losing, and these guys in particular I'd by cautious to place a bet on either side.

Like I said, I personally like Crawford more than Floyd but I think some things that Floyd was able to do Crawford can't..........or simply wouldn't.

 

Its not hard to create scenarios or narratives of anything so I'm not going to debate your analysis. I disagree across the board, respectfully.

 

SNAC program TC is a fairly recent phenomenon. He was NEVER considered on Floyd's level until those supplements hit.

 

Been saying for ages Spence was due a loss. He's basically an alcoholic. Struggled with Ugas who's not a top tier fighter. Plenty 147lbers on Floyd's resume beat Spence.

 

Lol, Bud would struggle with Hatton @140

 

First rate analysis from one of ESB's best.

 

Mmm.... I still think Spence is better than those fighters
