Why couldn't he dispatch Pac the same way Crawford fought Spence?
Was that version of Pacquiao more dangerous than Spence, hence Floyd had to fight that way?
Or is it just a difference in philosophy? (Floyd chasing money/prioritizing health while Bud chasing glory?)
Floyd's power didn't carry up to 147
Crawford's power has gotten better at 147
Floyd had brittle hands & needed to wear special gloves, so he wasn't knocking dudes out at 147 like he was at 130 & 135
Crawford's walking around weight well over 160lbs.
Floyd was a smallish 147lber
They're totally different fighters with different styles & carried 147 different ways.
Like I said, it's a bad comparison
I am seeing too many Floyd excuses why he can't as usual
And Floyd beat the better guys while performing better
he’s the better proven and tested product
Terence is hittable but this gets erased and forgotten upon knocking the opponent out
I don't see anyone on TCs resume that is within a bulls roar of Floyd, Its like watching the best city horses compete, it is always competitive and the top horses wins most of the time, now take one of runner-ups from that city class and drop them into the country races and that city horse will blitz them and look the best ever doing it. TC as good as he looks hasn't beaten a Manny Canelo Cotto Mosely Oscar type fighter let alone a run of them as Floyd did, I really cant compare them as their resumes are so far apart, which is why I say you got to wait until its all over and then look it, TC is still on the cusp of great things so who knows he could get stopped and then everybody will jump off or he could do the remarkable.
Exactly Terence is the highest level guy today
AND his style is kryptonite for Errol
but Floyd dominated opponents more so than Terence
T is hittable and takes twice as long as Floyd to figure the opponent out
real question is I don’t think Terence can beat Floyd
Jose Benavidez was boxing and countering Terence
T would get outboxed by Floyd
Ive always thought Floyds faster feet and sonar defence would tattoo TC and leave him very frustrated losing a UD, personally I think fans are going overboard with the Spence win that's why I asked why didn't he do that to everyone, TC is a great fighter but he hasn't beat any great opponents for me to declare he beats any atg LW/WW, not saying he cant he may beat them all but lets see how the rearview mirror stacks up when TC hangs them up, that's the only real time to evaluate the entire fighter and what he did, look how things could change if say Charlo or Canelo stopped TC, or TC beat them, that's how fickle it all is.
Yep Spence will probably be Terence career best performance
Yep and with fans in here that seems to mean that they are supposed to have their best fight night, every fight night, thats why this thread is so stupid, triangle theories and shoulda coulda never apply to boxing in the real world, yet fans waffle on like their fantasy is absolute, if that's the case Manny should have retired after being stopped by Torrecampo and everybody better than Torrecampo since should have to stop Manny, other wise Torrecampo is better than Manny, crazy what fans go on about.

Floyd wasn’t a KO artist at 147 due to his fragile hands.
Pacquiao was a level above any Welter Weight that is active today 'Both Mayweather Junior & Pacquiao are a level above Crawford & Spence Junior'.
I still think Crawford & Spence Junior are pretty much the same level of fighter they are not miles apart 'It was just that Spence Junior was too weight drained at 147 by the time the fight with Crawford was made. The timing of the fight for Crawford, was better for him. Both fighters were weight drained, but Crawford made the weight limit more efficiently.
But? People must also understand that Mayweather, was way past his peak when he fought Pacquiao.
Pacquiao really should of performed better vs Mayweather, as I think Mayweather was there for the taking 'If Pacquiao would of just thrown caution to the wind, Mayweather Junior definitively should of been pushed more'.
Mayweather won that fight while not getting out of 2nd gear 'Mayweather's skill level, and experience won him the fight.
Great fighters can win fights, that they are not supposed to win. Mayweather Junior's performance vs Pacquiao was that level of performance 'With the timing of the fight, Pacquiao should of pushed Mayweather Junior more than he did in my opinion' etc.
Say what Ali got his fair share of guys outta there including a prime Foreman and he wasn't even dominating Foreman before the ko.
Keep Ali out of this discussion pls. Mayweather claimed he could have got this guy or that guy outta there after a boring points win, but imo the difference between him and Crawford has to do with the mindset.
Floyd it's the same old story million and one excuses why things don't happen.
Crawford they try to say he can't do this, can't do that, and he proves cats wrong every time.

It's a dumb comparison.
It'd be like saying why didn't Muhammad Ali bludgeon people the way Sonny Liston or Mike Tyson did.
They different types of fighters.
Floyd after 135 or so wasn't a fighter who was going to finish guys like that, so he outboxed them.
Crawford's more of a puncher who's power has carried up to 147.

More like Floyd fanboys overexaggerating then settling.
See thats the rub. It goes from Floyd "schooling him easy" to well, as you put it, he won.
That don't sound like no all time great win over a prime fighter to me.
Why couldn't he dispatch Pac the same way Crawford fought Spence?
Legit question to me Floyd wants to do just enough to win mainly running, pitty patting, and potshotting, then letting the judges give him a decision. Don't want to risk getting hit to get a guy outta there, whereas Crawford is the exact opposite. How long has it been since a Crawford fight went to a decision.

Crawford's more of a puncher who's power has carried up to 147.
And yet, he won & only Pac fanboys/Floyd haters contest the result.

If you call holding and running, massively outboxing, the fanboys section is in the ladies room.
It only took him like 7 years to make a fight with him.
Every time they mention Manny he would start stumbling, stammering and changing the subject.

Just go back and watch the Sugar Shane fight round 2 only, then you'll get your answer.
Yeah I have a few, .
Well then put them up and stop stalling. It's been about 6 months since you made that claim.
You quick to talk all that big time shxt, but never show receipts
Yeah, such an edge he was massively outboxed & lost to him in a snoozer :lol1:

Floyd doesn’t have the power or offensive tools Crawford has.
This
And the fact Manny was still dangerous, so Floyd didn't need to take risks.
Spence didn't seem to have much for Crawford, whether it was down to levels or excuses about weight or crashes (which could be credible), Crawford clearly felt he could be aggressive.
Besides, Floyd had about 1 stoppage victory in 8 years and that was a sucker punch really. So it's highly unlikely he was stopping Manny even if he didn't feel too much of a threat and wanted to stop him.
Floyd was basically incapable of stopping guys at 147. Doesn't mean he wasn't an incredible boxer but the stats don't lie.
Got any Jeff Fenech fotos
Yeah I have a few, funny how you never address whats in front of you always a stage left lol, you couldn't win a debate to save your life that's why you divert as you're too stupid to stand your ground with logic its all kiddie games to you lol.
