Comments Thread For: Mosley Believes Crawford Would Beat "Money" Mayweather But Lose To "Pretty Boy" Floyd

The thing is, Crawford could choose to fight in Floyd's style if he wanted to, but I don't think Floyd could fight in Crawford's style.

Fight would be a chess match.

Floyd figures opponents out in 2 rounds.

Terence takes about twice as long.

Floyd wouldn't have to fight T's style.

Jose Benavidez caught Terence with rights in the middle of the ring

I used to think Floyd would come forward & risk being countered against T

but not after seeing Jose have success boxing with T

[GrandpaBernard]

T's amazing but just came off what will probably be his career best performance

He'll be overrated in h2h fights for awhile

Interesting observation from the Blasian-American community

That thing is in your head!

I don't really agree.
'Money' Mayweather was the more adaptive Mayweather. He would change tactics according to what he was facing or what was happening in the ring. I think if he fought Crawford and decided during the fight that 'Pretty Boy' was called for, that's what he would have done/become.
Even if it meant breaking both his hands.

The Mayweather that broke down’El Matador’ Jesus Chavez puts Crawford in the hospital.

Castillo Hernandez Corrales are all HOF fighters, who have Bud beat at 135 which is within a mile of those guys, who had Bud beat period that can match the top 5/6 guys on Floyds resume, you come out with some of the most ridiculous nonsense.

Bud would be favourite against Castillo and corrales. Some are saying bud beats Nell at 168 now.
You are saying floyd has better resume, which is correct I believe he has?. But what I'm saying is Floyd's not beat anyone bud wouldn't have just as good chance to beat as floyd did.

Mayweather had some of the best defense around, but I do agree that he was a better business man than he was a boxer.... Make that what you will. ( I'm not saying Mayweather wasn't one of the best of his time, but he's not the best boxer of all time, that's something cooked up by him and his groupies) Mayweather knew exactly when to fight someone (usually when you were really old or really young, catch weights he was big on as well) I think he really only fought Corrales and Castillo when they were both in their prime, and regardless what the scorecards said he lost to Castillo, I've seen that fight multiple times and there's no situation where Mayweather won that fight.

All that said, Mayweather beats Crawford, regardless of the weights, prime or not, Mayweather resume and competition was leaps and bounds better than Crawford. At the age of 35 Crawford finally fought his first serious opponent, that says everything, and he fought Spence after a serious car accident, eye surgery, and after a full career at 147 where Spence had no business making that weight anymore. ( Yes, he was drained, wether you believe it or not)

I will agree with you until your certainty of Floyd winning a fight with Crawford, regardless of his quality of opponents he was slow to start at times but he won always won decisively and dominated the two highest rated opponents, he makes all the right adjustments with a big tool box. He has a power edge over Floyd with equal ring IQ, what Shane did the 1st 2 rounds Bud can do for 10 while changing and adjusting with Floyd. Shane was on the decline and couldn't pull the trigger was the key and not so much Floyd adjustments, if Crawford got him that kind of trouble with his power Floyd would have been KOed. Was Spence drained in the Ugas fight? Did he get in another accident? He didn't fight for the biggest payday in his career against Pacman because he wasn't healthy why wouldn't he do the same with Bud for a lot less? No one was using the accident in his comeback fights because he looked very good. The problem was Bud's strength, power and strategy that made him look weak and confused. Same with Porter who've never been down in his impressive resume was KOed as well. Bud retired a real beast from the game. In all honesty it's all speculation even from the "experts". I truly believe Floyd loses to the switch hitting, hard punching, big toolbox, equal IQ Crawford
