Crawford is slow compared to elite fighters

Manny in his prime had blistering combinations, heck, no one other than a prime Leonard matches him tbh, and I do mean historically (Robinson and Ali of course were just as quick but at higher weights). Crawford is a better combination puncher with a more lethal killer streak than Floyd ever was and is probably just as quick in single shots. However, his footwork is slower and he takes a few more shots, then again, that is down to him going to look for the kill, rather than simply skip his way for 12 rounds. Crawford doesn't match Mayweather in singular punch speed or combinations, especially if we're talking Mayweather in his physical prime. As for the TS, Crawford has very very fast hands, especially throwing singular shots.

Khan was faster than Floyd and Pacquiao but speed isn't everything. Crawford has a lot of tools in his box that can make him a great. Khan is an arm puncher, he has the kind of speed that I myself would not rate and it's not even better than the two guys you mentioned on top of that.

Not even Prime RJJ?? Prime RJ had terrific hand speed but he wasnt as fluid in his combinations as Pac or Leonard. Maybe it was poor technique, I dunno.

You can't rate boxers.

he's so slow you can time him with a calendar! ... yes... and he's also ambidextrous -- which is weak, of course...

Geta high quality recording and not some stream and rewatch. He was as fast as he needed to be. It just wasn't visibly impressive as horn has no form and is sloppy looking, but Crawfords distance gauging just slight head movements etc and and the stinging accurate returns were fast and very very good. Reminded me of when would rewatch mayweather whom I always wanted to criticise as I just disliked him but who really looked so ****ing good in the slowed down high quality compared to during the live broadcasts. Sure he was only fighting Jeff Horn but doesnt change it.

Like floyd or manny in their prime Speed ain’t everything. I reckon Khan is faster than Pacquiao - end of debate.

Crawford is so overhyped. And im not 100% sold on his chin, an undersized gamboa wobbled him.

Like floyd or manny in their prime That's because floyd and manny both were on the jooce Crawford is all natural

to be fair, like 99% of boxers are slower than a prime Pac I shall bring back to life prime Pac speed in this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKPDeMXiJHc :biggthump:boxing: And this was before the roid accusations, lol.

Crawford has great timing and accuracy. He's not as quick as Mayweather or as speedy as Pacquiao but his timing and accuracy is the closest to Mayweather I've seen.

This. Spoken like someone who only watched Floyd the last few years of his career. It explains a lot of the dumb stuff I've seen him post tbh. Absolutely laughable.

I think you must've only been watching Floyd fights from later part of his career. Oh, not this argument again! Jeez! Mayweather was never, EVER great combination puncher. He never fought a great fighter and threw successful combinations. Yes there was a time when he was a huge super feather/lightweight and fought against some mediocre to decent fighters and at times threw combinations, but he never did it against the very best. I dont know where this retroactive myth started that he was some Leonard-esque combination puncher? It is laughable because it comes from people trying to act like they know boxing and it just makes them look really stupid.

Saying somebody is slower than Pacquiao is hardly insulting him.

:lol1::lol1::lol1: This. Spoken like someone who only watched Floyd the last few years of his career.

Let's stop comparing a guy who's best wins are tiny Gamboa, Postol, and Horn to two legends. With that said, Crawford is not slow.
