    I went ahead and put my responses in color for you....lol.

    I'm good on this conversation as it's clear that you have no intentions on having a factual debate rather than doing whatever you can to create a platform to attempt to win an argument with a stranger..... Feel free to read it (or not)........Regardless no need for a response. I'm done.

    I would struggle to give Crawford the edge over Floyd in more than a single department or two.

    Crawfords career totality is where Floyds was somewhere toward the end of his 130 run.

    Of course not. Only some hardcore boxing fans could name 5 of Crawford's opponents without using Google if they had a gun to their head. Mayweather was beating household names for 2 decades and has beaten way more ranked contenders and champions.

    Seriously, how many truly elite wins does Crawford have? Dude will be nearly 40 by the time he fights Spence (if he fights him at all).

    Lol I must have missed this thread or I don’t remember commenting on it.

    Crawford doesn’t do anything better than Floyd at all.

    His offence might look better to the eye but his eye catching shots are in exchanges, he doesn’t have the boxing skill to lay traps in any way whatsoever.

    Mayweather’s offence is superior, he does it in a way where he sets traps and feints constantly. He puts his opponent in a position where they cannot throw back or defend themselves all at the same time.

    Crawford at any weight couldn’t lace Floyd’s boots, and in a fantasy matchup Floyd would smoke Crawford 120-108

    This.. Floyd was able to flow all in one motion, from offense to defense or vice versa. Dud always have to work 10x harder to get into a rhythm.

    I would say 'no' in answer to the op.

    Crawford would be scary if he had equal skills AND that power.

    That statement let's me know you don't know Pretty Boy version well. Pretty boy had the offensive mind while still being defensive minded enough. Pretty Boy version would dominate Crawford slow starting. He was master of adjustments and had the fire power to stop Crawford!

    Probably not but aside from Castillo in the first fight he would be a biggest test to Floyd than anyone he faced.
