Why Floyd couldn't...

[MONGOOSE66]

Why couldn't he dispatch Pac the same way Crawford fought Spence?

Was that version of Pacquiao more dangerous than Spence, hence Floyd had to fight that way?

Or is it just a difference in philosophy? (Floyd chasing money/prioritizing health while Bud chasing glory?)

Floyd wasn’t a KO artist at 147 due to his fragile hands.

Yep Spence will probably be Terence career best performance

Yep and with fans in here that seems to mean that they are supposed to have their best fight night, every fight night, thats why this thread is so ******, triangle theories and shoulda coulda never apply to boxing in the real world, yet fans waffle on like their fantasy is absolute, if that's the case Manny should have retired after being stopped by Torrecampo and everybody better than Torrecampo since should have to stop Manny, other wise Torrecampo is better than Manny, crazy what fans go on about.

How many fighters successfully stood and traded with Manny Pacquiao? Even Marquez hit the deck repeatedly attempting to do so.

Exactly Terence is the highest level guy today

AND his style is kryptonite for Errol

but Floyd dominated opponents more so than Terence

T is hittable and takes twice as long as Floyd to figure the opponent out

real question is I don’t think Terence can beat Floyd

Jose Benavidez was boxing and countering Terence

T would get outboxed by Floyd

Ive always thought Floyds faster feet and sonar defence would tattoo TC and leave him very frustrated losing a UD, personally I think fans are going overboard with the Spence win that's why I asked why didn't he do that to everyone, TC is a great fighter but he hasn't beat any great opponents for me to declare he beats any atg LW/WW, not saying he cant he may beat them all but lets see how the rearview mirror stacks up when TC hangs them up, that's the only real time to evaluate the entire fighter and what he did, look how things could change if say Charlo or Canelo stopped TC, or TC beat them, that's how fickle it all is.

And Floyd beat the better guys while performing better

he’s the better proven and tested product

Terence is hittable but this gets erased and forgotten upon knocking the opponent out

I don't see anyone on TCs resume that is within a bulls roar of Floyd, Its like watching the best city horses compete, it is always competitive and the top horses wins most of the time, now take one of runner-ups from that city class and drop them into the country races and that city horse will blitz them and look the best ever doing it. TC as good as he looks hasn't beaten a Manny Canelo Cotto Mosely Oscar type fighter let alone a run of them as Floyd did, I really cant compare them as their resumes are so far apart, which is why I say you got to wait until its all over and then look it, TC is still on the cusp of great things so who knows he could get stopped and then everybody will jump off or he could do the remarkable.

Good potential fights for T at 154 160 and 168

Yep and its here TC could create a hell of a legacy going to be some interesting fights coming up.

Floyd's power didn't carry up to 147

Crawford's power has gotten better at 147

Floyd had brittle hands & needed to wear special gloves, so he wasn't knocking dudes out at 147 like he was at 130 & 135

Crawford's walking around weight well over 160lbs.

Floyd was a smallish 147lber

They're totally different fighters with different styles & carried 147 different ways.

Like I said, it's a bad comparison

I am seeing too many Floyd excuses why he can't as usual
