    There's an argument that at least 5 of the above would beat Crawford. And there's an even stronger argument that all ten of them could beat the Spence who Crawford defeated.

    What's kind of funny is that people are now using Crawford's record to call him an all-time great. But let's be real, before Spence, he hadn't really beaten anyone worth mentioning (no offence, Porter).

    :facepalm:

    The only fighter on your list I would take over Crawford would be Oscar De La Hoya. All the others lose to Crawford, given their respective ages when they fought Mayweather.

    Don’t be ridiculous.

    You can’t possibly be serious with that comment.

    What planet are you on?

    Which 5?

    Also, are you talking about the specific versions who Floyd fought?

    Manny Pacquiao is my favorite fighter (slightly ahead of Beterbiev) and I'd like to think he could beat Spence and Crawford. Surely prime against prime I'd pick him against Spence. And would slightly favor him against Crawford too. But an over the hill past his prime Pacquiao (which is what Floyd fought) is undersized, war torn and featured drastically decreased output, speed, toughness, hunger and determination. A declined Pac may not be better than Crawford.
