Given The Context Where Does Bud's Win Last Night Rank Against Floyd's Biggest Wins?

Crawford is a greater fighter now than Mayweather. Crawford fights the best in or near their prime. Mayweather did not. Not to mention weight clauses.

 

I'd argue the Canelo Floyd beat was a more dangerous version than the one Crawford did...

 

What Crawford did last night was superb but I don’t know if HIS win over Canelo can be seen as “ better” than Floyd’s. I mean sure, Canelo is bigger, stronger and has more notoriety now than he did 12-13 years ago. But Floyd was the same age at 37 as Bud is now when he beat a much Younger and undefeated Alvarez and arguably dominated just as decisively. Both guys had to rise in weight to face him but admittedly it was more so for Crawford. Still. Bud is a true ATG great. Just don’t know if I can rate him above Mayweather

 

He might have been. Alvarez hasn’t been knocking out many people as of late nor fighting as actively as he was back then. And we can’t forget that he’s now 35 years old with close to 70 fights of mileage behind him

 

I'd argue that jumping straight up from 154-168 made Crawford's win a more impressive feat than beating Canelo down @ an under-154 catchweight.

 

That’s ONE aspect of the comparison, yes. I’ve also always felt that that the catch weight thing has been over blown. Alvarez was about a pound and a half lighter for Floyd than he was for most of his recent fights and you know by that evening he was probably well rehydrated.

 

Canelo was green, drained and smaller. It was a good win for Floyd but Bud stepped in the lions den and came out with a trophy

 

Yeah it’s all about context, Crawford Is above Mayweather for me.
I never rated Canelo high but going up two weight classes and teaching him a lesson has value.
Canelo should just retire now, a tough guy but one of the most overrated boxers ever let’s be honest.

 

Crawfords win over Canelo is better but Mayweather still has a better resume

 

Crawford is my favourite fighter but I'd argue Canelo was drained from his trips up to 175, in the same way RJJ was never the same after going up and down the weights, and he is at the end of his career. The young, green version was more.dangerous in my opinion. And Crawford walks around at 190, fought at @170 last time out, hes a big old unit who strips right down for his previous weights.

 

That really isn't the same thing my man. Roy went from around 185 which he weighed against LHWs to 200 and drained most of that off. Canelo probably boxed at the same weight at 175 he did for 168 is my best bet. Roy also gassed early against Tarver in their first fight, he was clearly past it then

Crawford is also the older man, by 3 years?

Also just no, Crawford was a welterweight, if he got fat out of camp, he was still not strong at 168, Canelo was a monster at that weight.

Going up that level of weight against a fellow P4P no1 is pretty much unheard of.
