    Yep, i'd say that's a given. Hell I'd even pick the Oscar and Cotto that Mayweather whooped at that weight over Crawford too. 154 is defo his ceiling. The layoff may have affected him a little bit but 154 is defo his ceiling.

    Mayweather never fought anyone with the legs of madrimov.

    the only one that had that foot speed was pac but he avoided him for a decade until he slowed down


    madrimov would give similar problems to mayweather


    just to give perspective. The guys who had relatively fast foot speed and weren’t completely shot all gave Mayweather problems. Fresh off Margarito and PAC beatings Cotto and Maidana. Both were small


    madrimov is a real 154er. He could Beat Mayweather

        I think you mean seasoned Bud would beat 23 yr old Canelo. Canelo put on 15lbs of muscle but he wouldn't have achieved what he did by just getting bigger. Like him or not, he got way better.

          T-Bud gets handled by Floyd

          T-Bud took 5 straight right hands down the pipe in 30 seconds from Israil and would have a nightmare facing Floyd

          Israil was doing a lot of sht that Floyd does great

          coupled with Floyd having the best defense ever

          Floyd beats T as easily as he beat manny a 9-3/10-2 wide decision

            Yes there was a big controversy. Some idiot named Tom Kaczmarek scored the fight 115-113 DeLa Hoya when everyone watching saw a clear 7-3/8-4 type fight for Mighty May. I personally had it 7-3 that night but wouldn't argue anymore giving Oscar 4 rounds. He fought his ass off. His best showing since the Chavez 2 fight.

              Floyd has a field day with TBud

              Israil was catching him with all kinds of straight down the pipe

              right to the head
              right downstairs
              jab stab to the body

              difference is Floyd can land the jab upstairs too

              Floyd’s toughest opponents were pressure fighters who swarmed him

              that is not TBud a stylish boxer-puncher with nice counters

                Floyd's lead right would have been there all day. He also is much faster - hand and foot speed - with a tighter defense.

                  Not just the straight right hand, Crawford is also open to the looping right hand to the body and head. He hasn’t face anyone who can mix it up yet. Once Floyd finds 2-3 things that works good against you, he’ll start mixing them up and keep you guessing and that’s how he was able to mind**** majority of his opponents.

                    Floyd made boxer-punchers fight like limited sluggers

                    Everyone with a triple digit iq knew Floyd would outbox manny

                    no one expected Floyd to turn manny into a clumsy brawler

                    only Cotto managed he was good at applying pressure and managed to swarm Floyd
