      If he gets to 49-0 and continues to fight bums and past their prime opponents like Gayweather did his entire career, he'll be on the level of Gayweather career wise.

        I personally can't see it. Floyd won his first world title at 21, in just his 18th pro fight. Crawford didn't win his first world title until he was 26, in his 23rd pro fight. Floyd had accomplished MUCH more at 34 than Crawford has at 34.
        Yes if he beats Spence and Charlo he is ranked higher than Floyd, what are you thinking ?

          5 division "big four" world titlist
          4 division lineal world champion
          blablabla those don't mean shyte, they are all made up you know that, in this multi-belt era. Why no prime Pac, Lara, GGG, Martinez, Williams, 154 Canelo, Margarito... But old Mosley, Ortiz, Guerrero, LW JMM, washed up Cotto, etc etc.

            Floyd's body of work would be much deeper but. I am curious if there is anyone on Floyd's resume who people think could beat Spence. I don't think a prime Pacquiao, Cotto, Canelo, Oscar could do it. Maybe a prime Oscar at 154 could make it close because of the size.
            Prime Pac would have obliterated slow Spence. The starched old Pac that Floyd had a competitive match with, I still give Pac the edge.

              If he beats prime Spencer and Jermell. Undisputed in three divisions. I’d rank him over hasbeens only Mayweather,

                A prime Pacquiao would have lit up Spence who's pretty flat footed with his come forward approach. Pacquiao' s killer speed with lateral movement would have been too much for Spence.

                  I disagree. Canelo is not a bum.

                    if crawford defeats spence, charlo brothers, andrade/alimkhanuly (golovkin would surely retire by this point so jermall and andrade/janibek would be no. 1 & 2) and canelo at 168, he would become 6 division LINEAL champion. nobody has accomplished that thus far. i would rank crawford over mayweather then. but this scenario is a fantasy , it won't happen.

                      At the rate he’s going nope.

                      He needs like 5 legacy defining fights. I like Bud but but his resume trash.
