He would be a 3 time undisputed champ in 3 divisions. And make him champ in 4 weight classes. Floyd cherry picked his opponents at the right times. And never pushed for undisputed. Beating a prime spence would be a better win than any win of a prime fighter that mayweather beat.
Funny thread I would add that Floyd's win against Cotto at 154 is way more significant than any Crawford win vs Charlo its not even up for debate and some of these claims Floyd beat guys not in their prime did you forget Floyd was around the same age as Crawford now when he beat Pac and Nelo?
Some people need to let their hatred of Floyd go the man's retired doing stupid exhibitions for stupid amounts of money and he had a great career retired undefeated
To be fair I think bud beats everyone floyd beat. But resume not quite as strong that's the problem. But best spence and Charlotte or whoever then we've got the momentum going
porter and brooke would both wipe the floor with hatton and gatti lmao. GATTI WAS A GLORIFIED PUNCHING BAG JOURNEYMAN.
Was Cotto a punching bag too or a Pacquiao or a Cotto? Or a prime Maidana? Most of them future HOF fighters. And here you are mentioning those two clowns lol Kell Brook was never the same man after Spence was done with him, respect to him for taking the fight but he received so much damage that Crawford fought a shell. Porter was done a long time ago and he had no 'dog' in him when he fought crawford, I thought the man threw the fight to be honest, talked himself up but on fight night he showed nothing and he was way past his prime too. So those are the only two names Crawford has fought, who else lol? Floyd toyed with Canelo's ginger ass even tho he was nearly 40..he beat a prime Cotto too. Crawford hasn't fought anyone even the one's you mentioned weren't in their so called prime and were already damaged goods. Boy take a seat and stop talking about boxing because you have no fkn clue haha
floyd's wins over gatti and hatton just to name a couple mean more than crawfords whole resume, who did he beat/fight? Not one solid champion on his resume, he got smashed by some lithuanian dude who's name we don't even know without checking boxrec first. If he beats spence he'll get some respect but even with that win it won't be anywhere near as good as floyd's resume.

He trumps Floyd at welterweight definitely if he beats Spence. Floyd’s best win there is Ricky Hatton. Spence is far more accomplished than Hatton at welterweight.

IT would make Crawford's resume better at the top end, for sure.
Most of Floyd's best wins were guys who were past their primes, before their primes, or out of their natural weight class.
Floyd's resume is wayyyy deeper, though.
I will say in Crawford's defense, that because he wasn't a cash cow fighter, he couldn't fight whoever he wanted like Floyd & Canelo, who have the pick of the litter for whoever they want to fight when they want to fight them most of the time, so I don't hold that against Bud.

Crawford would then have a better win against a great prime fighter than Floyd’s. Floyd’s best win against an absolute prime fighter remains to be Corrales imo.
With that said, I think Floyd’s resume is still way deeper.. and on paper (lol) they’re goatish material if we are not going to dissect it.
While Crawford’s resume both on paper and not cannot match, and head to head Floyd beats Crawford as well.
Terence “TBE†Crawford is already better than Floyd ever was. How many HOF and ATG did Floyd fought? 0. Terence “TBE†Crawford has a stellar resume against 39 future HOF and ATG.
Lol no. Even if Crawford takes and wins those fights his place in the game will be the same. A guy everyone agrees is a talented fighter but a guy who wasted his prime years fighting no names and guys who had a name but were faded and well past their best.
I’m not a Floyd fan at all but let’s get real there’s no scenario where Crawford is in the same conversation as Mayweather.
IF Crawford would be those two guys it would be amazing wins and his history in boxing would be legendary. He would have his own spot in boxing history.
Well, Floyd's best win is pac, or dlh, or Nell depending what angle your belief comesvfrom. So if bud gets a few good wins he's not far off the discussion. Nel o has better case right now though to be ahead of floyd
The pac that fought floyd would lose to spence. P4P he's better but too small for the weight class
Yup, hiding behind TR/Arum.
Mayweather could have done the same, with cheap in-house fights, limiting himself if he had stayed with Arum. Instead he was eager to fight the top names and left TR.
Crawford on the other hand, signed with TR and extended twice while knowing TR didn’t have a lot of good options.
Being a fan of a guy is one thing
Being so delusional.....
Dud needs to knock Spence's head clean into the stratosphere to get my attention.
Dud spent his entire WW career fighting bums and has beens.
Fighting Spence broke that string of D level opponent.
Porter is supposed to be his best name at WW :lol1:
Dud needs to keep fighting until he's 73 to maybe surpass May
