Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: Terence Crawford Would Beat a Prime Floyd Mayweather!

[Nomadic]

Mayweather is not a sitting target nor does him come to the fight with one game plan.

The takes on this site are amateur level. Yikes lmao

Seriously. There are a lot of ignorant casual fans in here.

Nah. Mayweather easy work

[lolpz]

I believe the same thing. Floyd would be too quick and too fast for Terence. Spence has always been too stiff defensively. Not to mention he just makes too many mistakes. Terence is a A rated fighter but I see Floyd as an A+ rated boxer.

Skillful pressure of Spence who’s defensively responsible like in the Mikey fight probably makes the Crawford fight 50/50 and gives Floyd a LOT of problems.

Spence was not showing any lateral boxing movement vs. Crawford like he did in that fight…he was face first come forward with bad timing like the first half of Brook fight when he had a long layoff. His eyes also looked nonexistant even in the dressing room right before the fight.

Bud does indeed beat floyd. This didn't need to be a fantasy fight, floyd couldve fought bud, and while floyd was at it fight bradley too

Bud does indeed embarrass Paquiao too. Pacquiao blatantly ducked Crawford when both were with Top Rank.

[lolpz]

Stop with excuses for spence.


best way to compare them is based off them both being on top at 35 years old at their peaks .

Floyd fights off the front foot in a high guard vs southpaws , both are tremendous fighters in the pocket .

This would be floyds toughest fight ever . Crawfords talent and skill and speed is in par with floyd . Crawford has more power and in both hands .

This is as 50 50 as it gets

Wrong. Floyd too smart, too fast, too defensively responsible for Crawford to even touch him. He makes that fight literally look easy…Floyd is light years ahead boxing IQ wise. Crawford’s timing and power was tailor made for this idiotic approach by Spence in this fight. Shawn Porter’s in and out gave Crawford problems I had him down going into the stoppage round. Imagine Floyd’s boxing IQ and range instead.

10-2 9-3 victory for Mayweather. Makes it look easy…too much speed too much IQ. You will NEVER beat Floyd at his own game. Crawford would be down going into late rounds and praying to land a huge knockout punch. Floyd is the type of guy you NEED to go after and get, this isn’t Crawford’s style.

Floyd really needed his excessive holding and clinching to use that defensive style. But he can't do that against Crawford who was a state level wrestler, and would control that part very easily. And post Zab, Floyd was such a defensive fighter. Floyds tactics mayve not beaten a prime pac, cotto, or mosley.

Crawford? We have seen how damned accurate he is and stance switching, and power shot from any position. I think he would beat up Floyd.

Floyd had close fights, and lack luster fights. Crawford has destroyed pretty much everyone he has fought.

Crawford does one thing better than any fighter I have ever seen. The way he punches down is incredible. Dipping fighters are so tough to hit crawford is a master at it. He's kinda a master at defusing that kinda elusive movement fighters try to use

And how does Floyd clinch with Crawford is so good at controlling the body with his wrestling backgroud.

Think Crawford might even destroy Floyd.

And we know Floyd didnt want to fight some fighters in their prime, or maybe the biggest WWs, while Crawford would fight absolutely anyone in his division. Floyd was put on ***** street by the ghost of Mosley. Crawford would straight up KO him

Floyd fought much better competition including canelo who he schooled. Would bud beat canelo? He already said he wouldn’t take fight “there are wright classes for a reason”. It’s an interesting fight but Floyd has faced MUCH better competition throughout his career from 135 to 160. Crawford is great and the best fighter around atm but this is a bit of a shallow era.

I suppose I can see all of those points. There is one thing that keeps me from totally getting on board and that is that Floyd fought some really good fighters and was able to simply adjust as many times as needed to win. It was not fun to watch and I rooted against him every fight, but win he did. He just may have that magic answer.

At 147 Crawford wins.
