    Switch hitter with superb defensive slickness, footwork, speed, extreme accuracy, very heavy hands, and he enjoys hurting people. The Gamboa fight is overblown. He got caught because he wanted to slug it out. The scary thing is that Crawford is just reaching his prime. I would take Crawford now over any version of Mayweather. Arum feeding Pacquiao to Crawford is sadistic and evil. Crawford would put any version of Pacquiao in the hospital and force a retirement.

    what impresses me is that he has never even had a close fight. Whats the closest decision he has won? Almost all his UDs are wide

    Definitely the most complete active fighter, and one of the most complete fighters I've ever seen in 30 years of watching boxing.

    I seriously would pick him to beat any version of Floyd at 147.

    Prime Pacquiao walks through him like it's nothing. You remember Pac had a busted eardrum against Cotto in the 2nd round and acted like it didn't even happen.

    No. He would KO Pacquiao worse than JMM did.

    Errol Spence would beat Crawford into a pulp and Spence is just a basic fighter, straight up and down, no special effects.

    Crawford is the most natural I have ever seen a fighter. Idk about him beating Floyd but he definitely is more of a "natural". You hardly see him working hard. Its amazing to see. Probably #1 pound for pound in the world at the moment.

    Over the 12 rounds, Crawford was credited to landing 213 of 811 punches thrown (26%) but landed 41% of his power punches. Burns landed 76 of his 552 thrown (14%) and landed no more than 7 power punches per round.[15][16][17][18]

    211 to 76 is hardly close, The judges scores were 9-3, 8-4, 8-4, but it was in Scotland so they were closer than it should have been.

    And Gamboa was a KO in the 9th with Crawford ahead 78-72, 78-72, 77-73 on the scorecards so thats not close

    Crawford would give Floyd problems, for sure. They both have high ring IQs, and Floyd has (to my knowledge) never fought a switch-hitter. I think it would also be a boring fight, since Floyd and Crawford are both slow starters.
