    Thurman and Crawford called out Floyd. Floyd ducked Thurman to fight a c class Andre Berto who was past shopworn, and kindly said no thank you I am retired when asked about Crawford calling him out.

    Those guys were too high of a risk for Floyds taste

      Floyd didn't really fight anyone at 147 in their prime. Crawford would be the best.

      Would've been an intriguing fight for sure.

      Hard to bet against either.

        True, and it's not that we are being cruel or unfair to floyd, floyd ducked them. To not even fight one of them how did Floyd manage that? How does Floyd do it? How does Floyd get away with it without it being a bigger talking point?
        There shouldn't be no could Terence beat floyd thread as Floyd wouldn't fight him it should be could Terence beat pac!

            The thing about Crawford is that he is a sharpshooter and he will give you different looks and bide his time waiting for that one shot to stun you. Once that happens he will go in for the finish. This does leave him prone to dropping rounds though.

            I see Mayweather getting the better of him early on to the point that it looks like a mismatch. But Crawford at that point ups his tempo and begins to stalk probably looking foolish trying to get to Floyd but it takes time to time such a great fighter like Floyd.. He probably buzzes Floyd here and there but Floyd being as great as he is is able to do enough to not get finished and win some of the exchanges and later rounds as well.

            Final result is a Floyd UD maybe MD (depending on judging) in a W that he had to earn the hard way.
            Yeah Terence starts by building off what Zab did. Then adjust when Floyd outcounters him

            don’t think he’d have much success pressuring Floyd

            Terence hasn’t shown much of an infighting arsenal

              Mayweather 116-112/117-111. Crawford would pose a threat throughout but prime Floyd would not be stopped and would win a clear points decision. He'd realise the threat of Crawford and be razor sharp, just like he was vs Canelo. Mayweather, Canelo and Fury are the best 3, and hardest to beat boxers of the last 20 years, without a doubt. Nash out.

                  Ouch, that's cruel. You started thread so I'm just saying what I imagine people are thinking. I won't labour my point though I'll tell it like it is.
                  Whether thurman, spence, Crawford fought floyd is all down to floyd, if floydvwants challenge the balls in his court, he calls the shots, he plays God he alone has the power. So he ducked the fights and left fans like you hanging,, that's horrible and embarassing when you shake someone's hand and they leave you hanging don't offer their hand. Floyd left you asking questions!
                  Whereas with pac he might come out of retirement and fight bud tomorrow or spence. With Pac you never know, whilst with floyd we do know.
                  So ask whether bud can beat pac.

                      Floyd fans defend Floyd not taking the fights as if they're not important? But here you are asking who'd win like it means something to you and it obviously does. Floyd could have supplied answers to your thread. So it must be frustrating for you that he didnt.
                      Have a good night.
