Why Mayweather vs Crawford could happen

[hugh grant]

But are those circus shows really making anyone money? Disregard the numbers Floyd puts out there, the man is no beacon of truth and never was )

Yes, id never thought about that actuallly. I only heard floyd say he makes silly money from them. But i find it hard to believe really, as people pay for Floyd to lose really. If floyd is unlikely to lose, why pay to see floyd win?

[gauze]

i heard from somebody that knows somebody who knows somebody on mayweather's team that he's fighting chavez jr on cinco de mayo weekend

[tophat1]

He chose berto as his last world title fight, zero chance he takes a risk like this in his late 40s

That's what it is. There was talk about Floyd having the rematch with the John Gotti guy but that talk has died. Presume they got the final numbers and concluded it would be a massive flop. When it comes to Floyd and numbers, he's only going to say what makes him look good.

[Stuntman Mike]

I'd say 40-60 it happens. If Floyd is running low on millions and Haymon gets poor numbers on Canelo's next fight he may need to beg and or force Floyd to do it.

Force Floyd? He wouldn't have fought crawford in his prime let alone now.

True but he can be forced. He tried to dodge Pacquiao forever but was forced into it by Les Moonves the head of CBS Showtime because Floyd's previous fights did disappointing numbers. So there is a motive and need now to force Floyd to fight Crawford. Haymon and PBC and his new distribution deal with Amazon needs it.

Disagree. I think Crawford is superior to Floyd because he has more variety, more combinations, better athlete, better attitude, no fear of anyone. Floyd is actually basic, one two and that's about it. Floyd also showed that he would duck certain threats while Crawford never dodged anything, in fact, it was Spence, Thurman, Garcia, Pac who evaded him for years. I actually believe Crawford dominates Floyd, any version of Floyd, Just too many dimensions for Floyd to deal with.

Better athlete? Floyd is basic? "1-2 that's about it"? Good lord, you're ridiculous.

Floyd has faster hands, feet, reflexes, better defense and a higher ring IQ. He also has a better body of work against better opponents and wasn't afraid to jump up in weight and fight bigger, stronger men than himself.

[Roadblock]

Floyd was very good but overrated and protected. For good reasons. Crawford earned greatness the hard way. He beat everyone and unified two divisions. Floyd knew his limits and knew he could never unify ANY division. When he had the chance to unify with unbeaten Cotto in 2008 on HBO, Floyd and Ellerbe dodged it. Floyd's primary excuse said on ESPN to Brian Kenny was something about Cotto being from Puerto Rico lol

You are so full of sht it ain't funny, Spence is his biggest win and its controversial with clouds hanging over Errol, that don't even equal unbeaten Hatton, let alone Oscar Manny Cotto Corrales Castillo Hernandez Canelo Mosley, the comparing of opponents in no comparison, and Im a big fan of TC and he is tailor-made for prime Floyd, its in the feet and the fact you cant beat what you cant hit, you think Mayweather is Postel or Gamboa lol fkn no idea about boxing.

Why didn't Floyd unify any division? He had limits and he knew his limits. Carefully protected and carefully matched. Crawford feared no man and dominated and terrorized two divisions.Floyd handpicked his way to counterfeit greatness.

Floyd didn't care to unify. He cared about money and fighting the best of his era.

Floyd handpicked his opponents and yet his resume ****s on Crawford's.
