    Crawford or Mayweather

    Who is the greater fighter. I was a massive Mayweather fan but I have to say Crawford has out performed Mayweather and has more tools in his belt. I'm not surprised he easily beat canelo.

    Mayweather beat Canelo too and beat him when the age gap was huge. Mayweather also has better wins under his belt than Crawford, especially Pretty Boy because they weren't based on matchmaking.

      Crawford because Mayweather used catch weights, IVs, hometown advantage and cherry-picking to build his career. Mayweather really lost to Castillo, Crawford doesn’t have a moment like that.

          Floyd is the better defensive boxer but Crawford is the better fighter overall. Just like how Pacquiao is the better fighter over Floyd but not the better boxer. Floyd also fought Canelo at a catchweight and also fought a semi-green and young Canelo. Yea, Canelo has over 40 something fights when he fought Floyd but it was all against lower tier fighters. Floyd was his first real challenge.

              Floyd greater due to his wins over Genaro Diego Oscar Ricky Juan Shane Miguel Saul manny

              that’s 9 hall of famers and 5 all times with one of them being a top 15

              of all the hall of famers Floyd faced only 1 Oscar managed to win more than 3 rounds

              Floyd was so good at the peak of his fame that it was an accomplishment for any opponent who could take 2 rounds in a row or more

              we’re talking about a guy who was so hard to hit that the crowd would cheer if an opp managed to get a clean jab in

                comparing them inside of the ring

                Floyd has the greatest defense in history

                but TBud has one punch ko power in all of the weights they share sans 154

                Floyd’s counter calculating speed is about 2x quicker

                it can take TBud 4 rounds to figure an opponent out. Floyd would take max 2 rounds and almost always swept these reconnaissance rounds too

                  TBud has the single greatest win between them

                  TBud wide decision Saul is second only to Roberto close decision PRIME SUGAR LEONARD

                    Fight between the two would be ridiculously skilled

                    due to his defense and higher ring iq Floyd 7-5 TBud

                    Floyd would have a case for winning 7 or 6 rounds

                    TBud range 5 to 6
