Terence Crawford vs Floyd Mayweather: who would win?

As soon as I saw you said "barely" beat ODLH, that's how I know you are a casual fan. You are definitely a casual fan pretending to know like you know stuff. Top 50 is definitely a reach, Floyd is a lock for top 10 and you can really make a case for top 5. You are a casual fan and you should know that all his wins are quite easy and that this man's legacy and his placement has a reason to it. You don't get talked about a lot and get tons of recognitition without being a top 10 boxer of all time. You say he's all time great when you put him top 50. Not many people even know a top 50 boxer and you say ATG is top 50 GTFOH. ATG standard is like top 25 or top 20. Top 50 you're basically a unknown HOF. GTFOH you don't know crap about boxing LOL

 

You basically said the sentence over and over. It sounds like we disagree on a few things and thats okay. If you want to make your case why you think Floyd is as good as you say, feel free. IDK why people think its a sleight to be Top 25 or Top 50 EVER. That is some exceedingly rare territory.

And Floyd DLH was 7-5 or 8-4. Not a great look for someone whose orbital bone was broken in his next fight against journeyman Steve Forbes and then violently stopped against Pacman. DLH was done and had been for some time.

 

We talking about freaking Floyd Mayweather right here. Yeah okay yes there’s 1,000 boxers and 25-50 is good but this is Floyd Mayweather who is arguably the most skilled boxer of all time, that is just disrespectful to put him below 10, that is just a very casual take. DLH was still in prime shame when he fought Floyd. You need to understand fighters are not the same after fighting Floyd. They either under achieve like De La Hoya and Marquez, or they learn and over achieve like Hatton and Canelo, but when fighting Floyd they are always in prime and best shape. They are their best versions or they try to be. The ODLH that fought Floyd would probably beat Pac and destroy Mosley. The Pacquiao that lost to Floyd would not lose to anyone else in his or near his division. Please understand fighting Floyd makes people better, no other boxer has the ability to not only elevate themselves, but elevate their respective peers and opponents, that’s what makes him so great and you can’t understand these deeper details because you are a casual fan. Watching Floyd fights and older fights more can make you not a casual. You probably think his style is boring too but you don’t wanna mention that because you don’t wanna sound casual but for a veteran fan like me it’s easy to sniff out such “fake” casuals.

 

Thats completely outrageous.

 

Thurman wouldve beaten Pacquiou at that point in 2015. Brook would have a good chance as well

 

Outrageous to casuals like you. When faced with tons of facts and logical assumptions, you guys reply with simple shorthand outbursts, very typical casual behavior, very typical it's almost funny to me, hehe.

 

Yeah sure they might beat the Pacquiao in 2015, they're not beating the Pacqcuiao that fought Floyd, read the darn quote, it's all logical and passionate boxing knowledge. Pure ****.

 

What Mayweather and Pacquiao fought in 2015.
Is this some kind of joke

 

Hush. Just stop it.

There are levels to this game. And I think the current PFP # 4 in the world would’ve KOed floyd’s ass. No doubt crawford would’ve eventually set up that opening (Probably right hook from southpaw stance) and floyd would’ve leaned right into it thinking the straight left was coming.

PRIME Pac would’ve done that to him had floyd not let him get a few years battle worn before stepping in with him. Oh well.

 

You all discredit Crawfords resume and achievements until it's time to match him with Mayweather. It's deliberate. Floyd 8-4. Crawford has never fought any good movers

 

Don’t ever hush me again Coop, you little punk.

 

Damn.... Got real personal out the gate.....lol.

 

Oh, damn....... Why?.........

Not only do I think Mayweather would beat Crawford, I think he would do it rather clearly.

Crawford's head movement isn't good enough to avoid FMJr straight right lead. Any work rate Crawford tried to get going would be pre emptively shut down by Floyd's boxing ability and feints (since Crawford isn't as bullish or reckless as Maidana, he has to think about what he is doing before he does it, which slows him down ala Madrimov - and he can't out think Floyd). Crawford is actually the perfect aggressiveness for Floyd - he comes forward but not bullishly or in an overly fast way, not enough to keep it inside consistently. Combined with his lack of head movement and Floyd would be tagging him all night. Crawford can't out jab Floyd, but if he stays southpaw he'll get caught by the right over and over again. Switch hitting won't help him here. If anything it probably leav him more open against a boxer of Floyd's level.

In terms of ring iq, generalship, adaptability and positioning Floyd is better. Floyd has even proven his intangibles over higher quality opponents better than Crawford ever has. Bit strange to call Mayweather a cherry picker here considering the context of Crawford's wins and his added distinction of being a huge weight bully.

Not sure why people are mentioning Judah and Maidana when Crawford boxes like neither of them.

And on the greatness topic, Floyd is at absolute minimum a top 40 boxer of all time. Even low balling him he'd be in the 50s. Cherry picker weight bully Crawford would be lucky to see 100.

 

People always mention Pacquiao was past his prime even though he beat an undefeated champion in Thurman after.

But forget Mayweather was also not prime vs Pacquiao and in his late 30s.
