      I didn't make any excuses are you so ignorant to reality you don't even read what is said, point out the excuse here, and excuse to what, I feel youre comprehension is pure non-existent, its only a thing in your weird sense of reality.

      Point out an excuse?

      Why are you so threatened by Floyd when the guy youre putting on a pedestal said Floyd is GOAT, doesn't that blow your BS out of the water. You guys are the biggest girl fans Ive ever seen, you go on about so much rubbish its a joke.

      Prompted to weigh in on who he thinks is the greatest fighter of all time, Crawford pointed to Mayweather.

      “It’d have to be Mayweather,” Crawford said. “Everything. Not just cuz of the record—fighting style, everything that surrounds ‘Money’ Mayweather. It would have to be Mayweather.”

        I personally think a prime Cotto and Pac would of given him problems but win or loose. They WOULDN'T of blown him out
        of the water.
        Its not his fault Mosley and Delahoya were already far past their prime when he fought them. I think a prime 140 pound Delahoya would of EASILY whipped him. Watch the fight with Delahoya again and notiice how EASILY he landed on him when he was fresh.
        Don't forget paul williams who beat margarito.

          Bud on ly says floyd is good as bud wants to go route of doing as little as he can and hopes being unbeaten will make up for avoiding toughest fights.
          But at least bud seems to be prepared to go out with a ****, with floyd he was cherry picking right to end.

            Bud said Floyd is the GOAT, his words, that's quite a bit higher rating than your interpretation " good " and that small little bump you slid over between posts is paramount to the argument in at least Buds mind, so its painfully obvious that Bud doesn't think Floyd is guilty of 1/2 that you claim, would somebody that ducked anybody, let alone all the ducking and cherry picking you say he did could be rated by an ATG as being the GOAT, you don't have to be a genius to see Buds point of view, he actually says the opposite to what you say, and there is the dilemma, who would be more than likely to be right in a life and death bet, you or Terence Crawford? The reality is Floyd is a very successful boxer so much so that whenever another fighter has a spectacular performance the social media set explodes with comparisons to who, I find haters of fighters like sheep on a bus.

            Floyd was super skilled as a fighter, but because of the tendencies of society, he maximised wealth, the psychology behind his massive success is very interesting.

And there is video footage of Floyd ****ting the bed when Margarito challenges him face to face. And he shat himself on video after Pac beat Cotto when asked a question about Pac. also what himself when Martinez challenged him and said he should fight Andre Ward.

                he was a great fighter but he didn’t give the fans many of the fights they wanted.
                Respect your opinion but objectively speaking, the facts show otherwise.

                If fans didnt want these fights, why were they and he so successful at the arena and on ppv?

                Its clear by every metric boxing and sport in general uses that fans wanted these fights.

                Further, the sales were at higher price points than other top boxers.

                    Please man you are a walking talking excuse maker for Floyd.

                    And who is seriously going to take Terrance Crawford seriously when it comes to p4p all time greats was the boy even born in the 70s 80s or 90s all the boy probably knows is Floyd, but that just speaks to how weak your excuses are

Instead feasting on mexican flat footed plodders. Floyd'S best prime win is corrales. A guy who had no jab, was flat footed, and was a plodder. Compare that with bud's best win in prime spence. Floyd would never ever go down in history as a greater fighter than bud.
                      Which only means he was smart. He was at the top of food chain. So he had his choice of any fighter to fight. Now, whether he goes down in history as a greater fighter than Bud is subjective.

                      I would say this however, If Bud were to win the undisputed crown in three separate weight divisions; Then that would probably top everything that Money Mayweather has ever achieved in a professional boxing ring.

                      Which includes his 50-0 record and winning titles in five different weight classes. If Terence Crawford was to accomplish that feat it would put him in a selective company of all-time greats like a Henry Armstrong.
