Could Terence Have Beat Floyd

[Sheldon312]

The only Current Welter I could see giving Floyd trouble is Ennis. Crawford gets hit way too much and Floyd beats him speed, counter-punching, athleticism, defense, and timing.

Porter is Crawford's biggest win of his career. I think Crawford's speed would have troubled mayweather a big early, but he's too easy to hit. Especially with straight rights when he's in the southpaw stance. Floyd wins a fight with little action after Crawford tries to turn it on but stops after he keeps getting countered and can't land anything. We can't judge that Crawford would beat mayweather from anything he's done at 147 because his resume there isn't impressive. I can't see him beating Ike Quartey. Quartey was a sucker for a left hook. If you had one of those, you could drop him at least once in a fight(Carr, lopez, DLH), but quartey had a great jab and a right hand. I think he beats Ennis right now but in a year or 2 he doesn't. I don't see him beating Jermell Charlo or Hurd at 154 because his height would not be an advantage. I think Crawford and Spence are special for their era, but I honestly don't believe either guy could beat Starling or Curry. it's must my opinion and I may be wrong.

Maybe

Floyd tended to win to win the early rounds even against fast guys

manny is fast and didn’t win a round until the 4th

Floyd was Give Me God of War level difficulty opponent

I don’t think so. I think Mayweather most likely outboxed him over 12.

I suppose Terence could do the Zab Judah

take a step back chipo and counter

Zab did drop Floyd with Terence’s favorite punch a right hook

yes he did. And that was a fight I picked Judah to win due to speed and power. I gave judah the first 4 rounds and after that he didn't do anything until the 12th.

I think Crawford is too big/long. Even McGregor gave Floyd problems early with his size/reach and Crawford wouldn't fade/be so easy to figure out.

Everyone saying Floyd doesn't lose rounds early - he lost like the first 3 or 4 to Conor McGregor lol

[MONGOOSE66]

Some believed you need multiple gameplans to fight Floyd

the commentators say you’re preparing for two guys when facing Terence

Orthy Terence and Southpaw Terence

could Terence Southpaw Right Hook Crawford do it

Nope. Floyd of beaten him the same way he beat Canelo.

[Fists_of_Fury]

Floyd would embarrass that cherry picking hype job. Floyd would show there's levels to boxing and Crawford's level is a bum in comparison. Crawford is vastly overrated and over hyped. He is easy to hit and chinny. He can't deal with speed. A simple 1-2 from Brook damn near closed his eye in 3 rounds. Floyd would tee off on Crawford and land at will.

Crawford has 7 inches of reach on Manny. Not even a close comparison in styles

Floyd was washed up by the McGregor fight
