Comments Thread For: Crawford's Canelo Talk Prompts Big "Money" Comparison

[boxing IQ]

Crawford would've found an opening and put Mayweather on the canvas.

That shoulder roll crap may work on the Robert Guerreros and Andre Bertos of the sport, but not the sharpshooter.

That's the only fight that Mayweather could have lost. I've viewed this fight a few times. And I've scored it differently every time. I've scored it for Mayweather, I've scored it for Castillo, I've called it a draw. The outcome of this fight could've gone either way.

Mayweather did win their rematch, hands down..... although he fought it very cautiously.

If you scored it for Castillo or a draw, you need to get better at scoring and I say that respectively. Floyd clearly won the first fight. The fight could have not gone either way. If you scored it 3 different ways, don't you think you have a problem scoring?

I did the same thing with Hagler vs Leonard, I'm sure we all have at some point. When I didn't know how to score properly I scored it for Hagler, once I learned to score and did years of it =---> SRL clearly wins that fight, every single time. The fight could have not gone either way, facts.

I'm 100% certain I was the first to say Crawford beats the 147 lb mayweather but loses to the 135lb mayweather on this site right after the Spence fight. Now everyone has the same Damn take as me because Mosley said it. I want my cookie.

I remember you saying that, I agree, but I don't agree, but to say flat out he beats 147 Floyd is simply not accurate, would he have a better chance? Sure, but so did everybody.

Stop man, he clearly beat Castillo in a close fight that could have NOT gone either way. It's the same old song with you people.

The thruth always prevail. Come on Always in Vegas with his Side kick Kenny Payless. Fights at a distance, once the other fighter gets inside clinch him to death and have sidekick Payless break up the clinch, rinse and repeat.

Score the rounds and put them up, Floyd never lost any fight to Castillo its a narrative that people parrot, when you score it under scrutiny they crumble.

The truth does prevail which says youre talking BS, Manny had Baylis as a ref more than Floyd did, there were times Floyd stood right in the pocket and beat elite fighters, and there were times he boxed their ears off and tied them up, he had many ways of winning fights that's why he was so hard to beat.

Tell me who did Floy beat in their PRIME undefeated and a Champion?

So after fact bombing your Baylis comment you have another side step lol.

Corrales HOF, Hatton was another undefeated guy,, now you tell me when was Floyds prime, make me laugh when fans start singing prime when they have no idea what it is or how long its there in elite fighters.

Billy Lyell? BoxingScene is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if they're quoting the opinions of former journeymen. Chat-GPT could've written a better article.

I say this respectfully, you judge fights like Julie Lederman and her dad. You see things way differently than most. Some fights are easy to score and some are hard. If you feel that Floyd won that first match against Castillo hands down, without any of the rounds being swing rounds, you're super biased. I'm sorry. Some fights are just not easy to score. Examples of tough fights to score are: Floyd VS Castillo l, Pacquiao VS Marquez lI, Morales VS Barrera I and II, Ward VS Kovalev, Holyfield VS Bowe I, and more. While I had Mayweather winning their first matchup, in consequencing viewings, I watched with a biased eye, leaning towards Castillo, and I can see how a few judges/scorers scoring fights could give enough rounds to Castillo to be declared a winner (or at least worthy of a draw). Whether we'd like to admit it or not, all judgers have tendencies to score fights from a biased perspective. Try doing it sometime. Try using humility. With all do respect, I feel that you struggle in this area. I never even heard of Castillo before the fight, and out of being a Mayweather fan, I scored it for Floyd without really scrutinizing my scoring. It was because of the noise after the decision that made me give this fight a closer look.

And if you score fights, there's no way that you had Hagler beating Leonard. I go through this argument with a lot of biased Hagler fans. From a mathematical standpoint, it's arguably conceivable to say that the first 5 out of six rounds were won by Leonard. It's almost impossible to not give at least two of the last six rounds to Leonard - that's enough for a Leonard victory right there. I've tried to score in biased fashion in favor of Hagler a few times. On my best Haglar Generosity Day, Leonard wins. While it's obvious that Hagler appeared to openly hurt Leonard once or twice, that doesn't win someone a fight. Boxing is scored on a 10 point must system. Leonard won more rounds 10 to 9 than Hagler did.
