Yep, i'd say that's a given. Hell I'd even pick the Oscar and Cotto that Mayweather whooped at that weight over Crawford too. 154 is defo his ceiling. The layoff may have affected him a little bit but 154 is defo his ceiling.
Why is it every time a good fighter appears ( Bud in this case ) one of these threads goes up and we get a lot of bullchit about a fight we have never and never will witness
How insecure can you fughin be ???
levels
Floyd is S Tier ATG like Sugar Ray Leonard & Duran
TBud and manny are A Tier ATG
Alvarez ODLH are A- Tier
floyd and leonard are not on the same tier. leonard has great wins over prime fighters. floyd does not. how can they be on the same tier? so silly. his career is over. no need to sugarcoat things now. what is there to gain? he didnt have the wins to put him up there and that was his choice. the fantasy is over. during his career it was at least conceivable to say "if he does this, if he does that" but he didnt. credit is earned not given. he didnt do the hard work and its insulting to compare him to people who did. he had all the chances and all the power to do it as well. he chose to avoid the tough guys and go for the older guys, so he has to be graded on that. when you stack him up against leonard...not close.
I went back and rewatched Crawford-Madrimov again and Crawford looked slow. He looked as slow as he did against Avanesyan. Very methodical and deceptively quick with counters and combos, but not a whole lot of fast twitching to his reflexes in terms of defense. Yeah, he should just stay at 154, collect all
the belts there and then retire. Canelo would give him the Austin Trout treatment with a straight right hand down the pipe.
Floyd wouldnt beat the hell out of TC but he would UD him over 12 rounds, TC is planted Floyds defence and footspeed is too much, the only thing TC has better than Floyd is power and against Mayweather power doesn't mean anything. TC said himself Floyd is GOAT.levels

Floyd's lead right would have been there all day. He also is much faster - hand and foot speed - with a tighter defense.
Not just the straight right hand, Crawford is also open to the looping right hand to the body and head. He hasn’t face anyone who can mix it up yet. Once Floyd finds 2-3 things that works good against you, he’ll start mixing them up and keep you guessing and that’s how he was able to mind**** majority of his opponents.Floyd made boxer-punchers fight like limited sluggers
Everyone with a triple digit iq knew Floyd would outbox manny
no one expected Floyd to turn manny into a clumsy brawler
only Cotto managed he was good at applying pressure and managed to swarm Floyd

Yes there was a big controversy. Some idiot named Tom Kaczmarek scored the fight 115-113 DeLa Hoya when everyone watching saw a clear 7-3/8-4 type fight for Mighty May. I personally had it 7-3 that night but wouldn't argue anymore giving Oscar 4 rounds. He fought his ass off. His best showing since the Chavez 2 fight.
Floyd has a field day with TBud
Israil was catching him with all kinds of straight down the pipe
right to the head
right downstairs
jab stab to the body
difference is Floyd can land the jab upstairs too
Floyd’s toughest opponents were pressure fighters who swarmed him
that is not TBud a stylish boxer-puncher with nice counters
Didn't floyd get controversial result against dlh? Cott o wasn't a pf p top 3, and bud would beat 152 nelo. Who did floyd ever best the he'll out of?

T-Bud gets handled by Floyd
T-Bud took 5 straight right hands down the pipe in 30 seconds from Israil and would have a nightmare facing Floyd
Israil was doing a lot of sht that Floyd does great
coupled with Floyd having the best defense ever
Floyd beats T as easily as he beat manny a 9-3/10-2 wide decision

I think you mean seasoned Bud would beat 23 yr old Canelo. Canelo put on 15lbs of muscle but he wouldn't have achieved what he did by just getting bigger. Like him or not, he got way better.
Mayweather never fought anyone with the legs of madrimov.
the only one that had that foot speed was pac but he avoided him for a decade until he slowed down
madrimov would give similar problems to mayweather
just to give perspective. The guys who had relatively fast foot speed and weren’t completely shot all gave Mayweather problems. Fresh off Margarito and PAC beatings Cotto and Maidana. Both were small
madrimov is a real 154er. He could Beat Mayweather
