    Mayweather had an exceptional defense and would create difficulties for Crawford, after all I would slightly favor him in that fight...

    Both would beat crawford, but stylewise i Believe crawford would have bigger chance to beat mayweather. Hearns is too big and also a great boxer himself. Crawford would get outjabbed by hearns. He would have huge issues with hearns awesome jab and crazy reach. Even if crawford turns it into slugfest he ain't gonna outslug hearns.on the other hand Mayweather ducked slick fighters for a reason. Instead he choose to fight flatfooted pressure fighters most of the time. Crawford would give issues to floyd with his footwork, versatility and angles. Plus he is a southpaw

    Both would beat Mayweather. Hearns would have an easier time in doing so.

    Floyd w his speed ... I love Tommy but his chin and stamina were always suspect against the best, most difficult stylistic match ups

    Crawford and Hearns both would beat Floyd.

    Not sure who wins between Hearns and Crawford

    Crawford had plenty of power especially at 147. He knocked out everyone he fought in that weight class. His problem would be getting to Hearns.

    According to that logic Canelo should have KO'd Crawford or Kell Brooke or Errol Spence.

    Did Canelo, Brooke or Spence possess the speed and physical attributes of Hearns? I do not follow you here.
