Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Believes He Would Have Beaten Floyd Mayweather

[Frank Hughes]

Nothing crazy here.

At their peak, Crawford might beat Mayweather. Spence might beat Mayweather.

A couple of swell, very even fights.

Also: Floyd is 49 - 0.

McGregor was an exhibition.

Mfers sound dumb trying to tell a fighter that he's wrong for believing he is better than the next fighter. What is he suppose to say....."yea, he would have kicked my ass"..... Champs aren't built that way..... They are confident vs whoever you claim is better than he..... Floyd though he was better than the field...... So does Crawford..... neither are wrong and those trying to make a point to argue which one was sound ****** and you'll only frustrate yourself.........

Both beat world class talent.... Floyd defeated 15 world title holders over his entire career.....Crawford has beaten 12. It's really ignorant American boxing fans who try to discredit him because even the mfers you cheer for don't have too much knowledge of the sport beyond the 50 states.

It's always American Boxers like Charlo or Rolly, etc.... who don't know who "that Russian" or "Serbian" or "British" fighter is....so they give no respect to the person who beats him... And being that they don't know, we know clearly that their fans are equally as ignorant.

Of Crawford's 7 welterweight opponents, 6 were ranked in the top 7 of the division. 3 of them were undefeated. 4 of them were former world champions. Crawford was older than all of them. Yet, the excuse that he's fighting nobodies, or guys who are too old, or damage fighters is the agenda pushed.........But then you look at Spence's last 7 opponents....3 were unranked in the division. 1 was competing at 135lbs (Mikey)......Only Ocampo and Mikey were undefeated....they rest had 2 or more losses and/or coming off surgery. But Spence is the Big Fish huh?.......

What are you talking about, man? Crawford signed with world famous BLK Boxing, who put together the barn burning and quantifiably successful fight with always dangerous David Avanesyan.

You would think, the way he’s spoken of by some fans, that he had like the equivalent of MAB, JMM, Morales down in 135, and that now at 147, he’s been constantly stepping up to the big names and it’s culminated to this, Errol Spence.

I guess boxing has digressed so much and has become so backward that someone with the resume of Crawford is seen better as someone with the resume of Pacquiao and Canelo.

It’s okay to say a legend before you is better. Mike Tyson claimed he couldn’t beat Ali if they fought, when asked.

Both of those fighters are 100x the fighter Crawford is.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Who has Bud beaten that he can make such claims? What is his biggest marquee prime name in his resume? Horn?

"The Man That Beat The Man".

[STREET CLEANER]

"The Man That Beat The Man".

Nice one.

Given that Crawford hasn’t really fought anyone of note other than Postol and Porter, that’s easy to say.

Pacquiao, Canelo, Mosley, DLH, Cotto.

Without TR by his side, we’re going to see the real Crawford very soon. And I don’t want to hear anything else about Crawford and how great he supposedly is after he gets exposed on July 29th. I don’t want to hear about how he’s better than some HOF’ers and ATG’s anymore.

“Without TR by his side?” What does that mean? Are you insinuating that Crawford has been the beneficiary of some fight decisions based on this association with Top Rank? If so, which fights? I don’t recall him having many or any controversial wins. As far as July 29 goes, are you going to disappear if Crawford wins or will you give him credit then? Not sure how long you’ve been watching fights, but if you doubt the quality of Terence Crawford, you should watch more.

[TheOneAboveAll]

Exactly. Crawford has been fighting below elite and or way past their prime fighters at 147 to lay any credential on his fantasy fight with Floyd. Spence is his first test at 147 and that says a lot about his resume.

His KO percentage at WW is 100%.

Crawford beats every version of those fighters that Mayweather fought. Cotto was the only fighter on that list who was in his prime when Floyd fought them. The best parts of Floyd’s resume are 50% attributable to savvy management.

[SUBZER0ED]

Crawford was just a no-name fighter until he got a title shot against an unremarkable beltholder in Ray Burns.

And he ironically isn't much more today, looking at his PPV #s.
