    135lbs-Floyd (much faster, comparable pop)

    140lbs- Floyd (still the crisper puncher and better defensively)

    147- Floyd (more challenging fight physically, but his IQ and overall craft see him through)

    154lbs- Jury's out until we get more data from Crawford

    How can someone who has the one of the worst chins of this generation be the best fighter you've ever seen in 35 years LOL Are you smoking crack? you need to have the FULL package. Roy did not have the punch resistance

    Tarver beat him three times in Roys prime.

    I must say Crawford’s resume is paper thin, Spence was washed and I was saying it before their fight (even though most on here predicted a Spence win) then you see how Crawford looked against Madrimov and I wasn’t impressed in terms of p4p level.

    I expect Crawford to get destroyed by Alvarez.

    Anyway not an easy fight for Mayweather especially since Crawford has the longer reach but I still expect Mayweather to win.

    You would have to pick Mayweather at any weight between 135-154.

    Tim Bradley is a personal friend of Terence Crawford so he wants to think Crawford would win. Crawford is a fantastic fighter though.

    Did you watch the video with Oscar and Shay?
    Oscar is not Floyd’s biggest fan, but he admits to not wanting canelo to fight him at the time, as he knew he would be schooled

    Said Floyd had good power and not for the first time

    Finally he was asked how Floyd would do if he was around at the time of the 4 kings. He said if Floyd fought then? It would be the 5 kings

    They are obviously not friends, but Oscar knows how good Floyd really was. It was nice to see him giving props rather than just s....g on him

    Based on resume, Floyd wins on points 135-147. The naturally bigger Crawford takes it at 154.

    Everyone who knows about boxing knows Floyd is the real deal. Floyd was all wrong for Canelo. He really outclassed him. Floyd’s power was good because the likes of Canelo and others could not just walk through his accurate shots.

    Exactly and Pacquiao threw half the punches he normally does, because the counters hurt

    In my opinion it Boils down to this ,can Bud apply enough pressure on Floyd to take him out of his comfort zone? To cut the ring off and make Floyd exchange . The one fighter from 135 to 147 who I absolutely believe could do it was Duran who I'd pick to stop Floyd in a 15 rounder but Bud? It's a close fight and unless Crawford can hurt Floyd at some point and take control he probably loses a decision.

    I obviously have to give the edge to Mayweather but I do think Crawford is a live live underdog and if he did win wouldnt surprise me in the least.

    I just think Floyd has more dimensions to him and has more tools available to get the W. But Im not sleeping on Crawford.

    I'd pick Bud to narrowly outpoint Floyd at 147. I think he's so fluid with his rhythm that he'd be a nightmare for Mayweather to time with the counters that made up the bulk of his offence at welter and above. Floyd was never a big fan of fighting southpaws either and Bud has arms just as long as Floyd, both of which means Crawford could pretty much negate the jab of Floyd. At 135 and 140 though, I'd probably back Floyd who was really one of the best H2H fighters of all time before his hand issues started to slow him down.

    Yep and if they did fight Crawford would not have been allowed to wear his Everlast gloves, he would’ve been subjected to a rehydration clause, Kenny Bayliss would’ve been the referee.
