    Floyd by outadjustments
    The other part to me is that Floyd more fluid/twitchier. Also, Floyd has better inside controls although Bud ain't no slouch. Floyd is just far more responsible on defense in the inside with his guard control and positioning.

      Now that you mention it

      Terence defense was as flawless as I seen it VS Errol

      On another level with a kryptonite style for Errol

      if anyone can catch Floyd with a good shot that REALLY hurts him, it’s Terence

      We saw how Floyd handled it when Mosley did that

        Philly is not designed for a southpaw with longer arms ala fight Maidana 68'' instead of Lara 74-75'' for WBA/WBC 154. The left is opposite the roll and shoot and the arm length keeps you out of the range of the shoot. That being said, Crawford's power hand is his lead right in the stance. FMW 72'' would have to fight him out of a high guard. Going 2nd level with the stab to the midsection, just invites Crawford to time him over the top. Not sure about 135 but he isn't beating Crawford 74'' at 147 with bad hands and orthopedic gloves pot shots for 12 rounds.

        Time for Hatman again...

          I doubt Floyd would fight him that way, I think he would use his faster legs and create angles in and out like with Canelo, Floyd is faster than TC and is very hard to time because he operates on the fly, for me beating Spence doesn't translate to anything Floyd represents, be like comparing Maidana to Crawford, I don't think there is anybody on TC resume near Manny Oscar Mosley Cotto Coralles Canelo Hernandez Castillo,, they would all pretty much beat everyone on TCs resume, its a weak era been saying it along.

            Floyd Lara would have been the 1st time Floyd outworks an opponent to win

            Lara had a way of falling short in his big fights

              longer guy Fulton get outboxed by the shorter Naoya

              so it’s possible

              or maybe Terence counters are so good Floyd would need to pressure forward

              Floyd was play sparring a rapper learning how to box. But he was going forward towards the much rangier southpaw

              McGregor and Terence share similar height/reach

That wasn't even a prime alveraz. gayweather never fought a fighter as technical as bud a fighter who has power in both hands and is as mentally tough as crawford!
                I like crawford he proved me wrong I think he’s a great fighter. But I don’t rate his rise through the ranks as highly as I do as mayweather Pacquaio ODLH tito trinidad Duran leonard hearns his best win atm is spence. His wins coming up at LW and 140 and 147 weren’t over really great fighters. If u compare that with say ODLH who fought tito sweet pea hopkins Vargas mayorga mosley quartey mayweather Pacquaio. Their resumes say it all. Buds story is t over tho there are meaningful fights he can win that can keep his stock rising

                  Try coughing up SOMETHING unique. Good luck with that, chump.
                  Floydie? What did I say that was untrue. Did you not see the pictures of Pac-Man? I witnessed Pac-Man getting beat every 2 years for the last 8 years of his career. It’s a honest question why are these imaginary fights never thrown at Pacquiao. In any case I’m a Marquez fan and we smoked your emperor so suck it easy you rodent

                    He went forward with no regard for the rapper or Conor as they were both garbage

                      Floyd smacking manny around in the 10th round was a sight to behold

                      manny’s confidence was ruined at that point
