Terence Crawford vs Floyd Mayweather: who would win?

Well Madrimov, who isn’t rated very high, was able to neutralize most Crawford’s offense just from fighting like he was window cleaning. Bud did enough to win, but he still didnt look great and got tagged clean quite a bit in the process. Crawford could win but it would have to be an offensive masterclass to squeak it out.

 

People are liars and not honest
They hate him so focus on all negatives, rather than look at the positives regarding his career

Floyd did become more safe as things went on, but he has beaten more ranked fighters (title holders) than anyone by far who are active today.

He beat WAY more hall of famers than anyone active also and his punch stats are much greater (plus/minus connet rate)

His accuracy and defence are light years ahead of these guys including Bud. I bet many would change their vote if their life depended on the result of this fantasy match

 

At 147 and above Crawford.
140 and below, Pretty Boy Floyd.

 

He was weight drained

 

People put Floyd on a pedestal. He lost JLC1 and could've drawn Maidana1. Prime DLH beats Floyd and I'd favor Floyd over 2009 Manny but it would be interesting.

Floyd fought very few opponents like Bud. Terrence has as much or more range and has always been willing to trade. I have long said Crawford would be very difficult for Floyd and I stand by that. In fact, I'd favor Bud.

 

Would be one helluva fight.

And probably SHOULD have happened..

 

My response was to someone saying that Spence wasn't the same or a shell of himself due to the car accident. Now, you throw this weight drained excuse on me? No matter, like I said, a tip top Spence still would have been whooped in simular fashion.

 

Crawford doesn't even have a longer reach here which is what would really make this a nightmare for Floyd, 24½" vs 26" 7-5 8-4 Mayweather

 

Plenty of links online say Floyd 72" reach and Bud 74"...

 

That's measuring the whole wingspan which includes large shoulders and torso. Mayweather has longer arms if you measure from the armpit or shoulder

I agree that Spence is not on the level of Crawford but that fight would've gone the distance had Spence been prepared. If you've ever been in a car crash you know how badly that can F you up, especially if you're going against a caliber of opponent as Terrence Crawford. With that being said these 2 in their primes would have to fight in a catchweight. In terms of boxing a prime Floyd might be a top 8 boxer of all time. He had a mixture of aggressiveness while also having some of his IQ his older days, so he was in the middle of transitioning to Money May and he possessed qualities of both pretty boy and money may. This version of Floyd I only have maybe like 2 people beating him. RJJ and SRR if SRR had new training. Possibly add Hearns in there if Hearns has a good chin. This version of Floyd would beat Pacquiao like 8/10 times.

 

As you can see, Floyd opponent way better. Floyd win vs Shane twice as better as Crawford win vs Spence, and that's not even Floyd best win.

 

If Floyd can beat Manny at an old age, Floyd could def beat him at a young age, I'm tired of this age argument, Floyd is older than Manny and these ******* fans believe oh after the fight he got a shoulder injury, not before the fight. Where did that magic invisible shoulder injury come from? Oh that's just Manny swinging his arm too much without hitting anything.

 

It's def harder at 147 but I give Floyd a slight edge.
