If Crawford moves up 2 divisions and beats Canelo will it be a better win than Mayweather's 2013 win over Canelo?

[The Big Dunn]

Yes it would be bigger then Floyd's win over Canelo because Crawford has a lot more to prove than Mayweather does. When Mayweather fought Canelo he had nothing to prove. He had achieved just about everything he could or needed to in the sport by that time and plus he made lots of money doing it as well.

Now Terence wants what Mayweather got; The money, accolades, glory and praise. Which is why he is chasing Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. He has to convince boxing fans and boxing experts alike that it is not what you've got but how you use it. He's the underdog and the much smaller man moving up several weight classes with no tune ups.

To prepare for a fight against a naturally wider and stronger man. So the burden of proof is on him to prove to others that he is elite and belongs among the best to have ever done it. A win on Saturday night against Canelo would do just that. It would cement his legacy as an all-time great.

I surely hadn’t thought about it like this.

Canelo’s stage: 23 years old, still learning at the elite level, but already a unified champion at 154 lbs (WBA + WBC). He was undefeated (42–0–1) but considered a little green compared to Mayweather.

interesting way to look at it

TBud should rematch Saul if the opportunity presents itself if the idea is Mayweather Money Paydays

That’s right and he would be more than happy to oblige him. Let’s cut to the chase or the elephant in the room shall we? The real motivation behind this fight is money.

For both Canelo and Crawford. Remember that they are prizefighters. Canelo is Crawford’s consolation prize for not getting the Manny Pacquiao fight.

In addition, this was a fight that Alvarez never wanted or needed. Turki had to throw a lot of money at Canelo in order for this fight to happen.

Crawford's in great shape by the way. Victor Conte has this man in beast mode.

ha ha it don't need to be comfirtable. Floyd can't beat Nel o at 168. Bud can. So buds got a better win. Simple equation

only in your mind is 11-1 < getting dropped in the process of going 7-5

[hugh grant]

First thing first

TBud has to beat Saul

and do so comfortably

But buds win.must be better. As floyd wouldn't 11-1 this version of Nel o at 168! So if we've established Floyd's no chance against 168 nelo, and bud beats Nel o at 168, something floyd couldnt do. How can buds win over Nel o at 168 not be better than Floyd's at 152?

Floyd was past prime too when 11-1'd Saul

you are so silly baby girl

matter of fact Floyd was past prime when he schooled most of his top opponents: Juan Shane Miguel Saul manny

But buds win.must be better. As floyd wouldn't 11-1 this version of Nel o at 168! So if we've established Floyd's no chance against 168 nelo, and bud beats Nel o at 168, something floyd couldnt do. How can buds win over Nel o at 168 not be better than Floyd's at 152?
