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

[SchoolTheseCats]

Crawford gives up to many early rounds and would of boxed into a bunch of traps trying to catch up Floyd by UD

Floyd’s career and resume speaks for itself.

Crawford’s resume is very lackluster.

[Ganondorf]

I fundamentally disagree. Terence is a beast but Floyd Mayweather was just all around a better fighter to my eyes.

Both guys are similar--it would be interesting. It's unlikely Terence could land a KO on Floyd. Floyd by close decision?

[ImDominicanLipz]

He should feel that way. That's why he's the best.
on resume and legacy obviously you'd have to favor Floyd.
But his struggles with Judah and Augustus tell that it'd be a goody. Zab didn't have Buds IQ and Emanuel didn't have Buds power or size.

Uncorrect. Zabs IQ is actually on par with Mayweather, he just doesn't have the mental strength Bud and Mayweather have. Zabs IQ is through the roof just like his athleticism

Yet he hasn’t beaten any fighter anywhere close to Mayweather’s level. Best two wins are Postol and Porter. Not even close to Mayweather.

Crawford had trouble with a guy who got shot in the leg, finally stopped him at 12th round. If he had trouble with that, he’s not beating Mayweather.

Crawford-Porter was close on the scorecards at the time of stoppage, Crawford up by 1 round on two judges scorecards. If he can’t KD Mayweather, how’s he going to beat him on the cards?

Tough to say because mayweather has beaten much better competition than Crawford. But, mayweather hasn’t faced anyone that was as all around a good fighter as Crawford who can box from both sides, is highly skilled, can slug when he needs to and must of all, has a real killer instinct in the ring.

Incorrect. Zab's IQ was at least 100pts lower than Mayweather's. Ask Kostya Tszyu how smart and crafty Zab was.

IMO, prime Mayweather vs prime Crawford is as much of a 50/50 pick'em fight as one could imagine. I tend to think that even if these guys came through the ranks at the exact same time though that they never would have fought.
