Could Terence Have Beat Floyd

Doesn’t mean a thing. It would boils down to timing, speed, and accuracy.

Against a short short armed come forward guy yeah Floyd can hang back and potshot, but against a guy who is prime, just as fast and longer dimensions, he wouldn't have those luxuries.

So you hate Floyd more than you hate TC lol.

Floyd is too quick and about 3 levels above Porter, Floyd is such a hard style to beat by a boxer, TC is not a brawler he likes to box and Floyd would just play touch football all night.

Its all about the styles and Floyds movement would be huge problems for TC who needs to set.

Your reading skills need work,reread my post & get back to me (I don't hate Bud either,hes just disappointed me over the years)

Doesn’t mean a thing. It would boils down to timing, speed, and accuracy. Floyd was superior in all of those categories. Floyd was better at nullify an opponent’s best weapon by beating them to the punch. Crawford is good at countering, but he usually takes longer to get into his rhythm and tend to get into exchanges to find success. Floyd was just simply too consistent at landing his shots once he finds several openings. As good as Crawford is, he’s only consistent at following through once he hurts his opponent. You rarely see him dominate a round by picking an opponent apart while being defensively responsible at the same time. I just don’t see any scenario of Crawford beating a prime Floyd.

So, you're saying that size and reach (most importantly) don't matter? I disagree. Who did Floyd fight that had a 74 inch reach and was as big/good as Crawford? If you can name a guy or two that I forgot, I reserve the right to change my mind.

But I don't think Floyd fought anyone like Crawford. And at some point, a guy will be too big for Floyd. I think someone like Crawford is a good candidate to get it done.

No way, Floyd would have had a field day with him.

Thing is, Crawford isn’t as fast. Prime Floyd was just superior in every athletic categories. He could throw the leaping left hook and lead straight right hand blindingly fast, and then you add his timing into the mix, Crawford would be in for a long night getting his head snap back. Crawford can easily be baited into a brawl once he starts to get frustrated. Crawford wants to get you right back once you hit him, but frustration would set in once he realizes he can hit Floyd as consistently as Floyd can hit him.

What a fkn idiot, Floyd walked Connor down like the terminator, that's not how Floyd boxed for real, he could dance circles around Conner if that's the what he wanted to do.

So which one is it.

One minute you, Bodybags, and Dunn say Conor gave Floyd more problems than Manny did.

Now you saying Floyd carried him.

I wish you Floyd boys keep your excuses consistent

I think Floyd definitely steered clear of anybody who could keep him at a distance with a good stiff jab. Conor wasn't supposed to barely go 5 rounds with TBE but that stiff jab kept him honest. Floyd ate some leather too from an 0-0 mma fighter. If Conor had a little more experience to take it the distance Floyd may have needed his hand picked judges to rob Conor on the scorecards.

Mayweather WOULD not have fought Vs. Crawford.

Even in FANTASY the fight is hard to make.

Yup.

Neither would ever want the fight.

Crawford isn’t that much bigger than Floyd. He has a slight reach advantage over Floyd, but Crawford throws more hooks and looping punches than he throws straight punches. Crawford’s defense isn’t good enough to get the job done. You can’t beat a guy who has superior hand speed, timing, accuracy, and above all defense.

You got eyes haven't you, if you think Connor gave Floyd problems I suggest you go get them checked.

And then why bring up a done retired Floyd walking down a 25lb bigger MMA guy in a spectacle, totally irrelevant fight.

I don't think Floyd has much superior speed, timing or accuracy. I would give him the edge on defense but Crawford isn't exactly the easiest guy to hit. But he will put himself in position to land one/take one.

Crawford walks around close to 180 I believe. Floyd probably 160. As I said, reach-wise it would be the longest guy Floyd faced if I have the numbers right. That changes the game for me as far as a fight goes.
