Unpopular Opinion: Crawford Beats Floyd

Floyd confortable victory. The op's mame is ironic right?

 

Popular opinion: I beat your mom.

 

Lmao. DLH, Pac, Floyd, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, etc. These guys all destroy Bud. He’s a solid fighter but has not achieved even 1/10th of what these guys did against top opposition. The knee jerk reactions on this sub are crazy.

 

According to boxrec he does.

 

Bud is 35? So he's too young. Better wait till his 39!

 

Definitely isn't overrated. He began his career at 135 and now looking like the man at WW. Cruising over all of his competitors. Crawford has the highest boxing IQ in the game today. That said, I'd still favor a prime Floyd to edged out a decision. The fighters who gave Floyd the most trouble were brawlers with excellent chins. He couldn't be out thought in the ring.

 

In the history of the welterweight division there's a big list of guys who'd beat the crap outta Floyd

 

Name them. Mayweather has excellent survival skills, he won't get "beaten up".

 

No he’s not Oorter is a decent fighter for this era… but Zab Judah was the UNDISPUTED Champ at welter and a 7x world champ… we give Porter credit for losing to the best fighters yet Judah fought and beat better

 

I am wondering your "big list". Can you share with us?

 

Crawford doesn’t even get by Maidana. Floyd would time Crawford with ease. With as many times as Porter caught him with the right hand, Floyds lead right would land all night.

 

I think FM picks and sticks his way to a wide UD. FM was too fast I think. FM wouldn't get into fire fights, keep moving, picking his spots. He was a master at that. He always managed to fight his fight, no matter what fighter he faced.

 

there is a reason why this opinion is unpopular.

 

not in a million years.
