    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
    Yeah. Floyd always made sure not to let rounds get away from him. I know that Skipper guy had Bud sweeping the fight, but the reality is that Bud didn't start winning rounds until the back half. There were some swing rounds in there too, maybe a couple or so. Definitely the first round was a swing round but arguably Canelo did better. I think I had it 5-1 or 4-2 Canelo after the first six. When the judges scored the fight by a round for Bud, that is the best case you could make. Those judges got it right. Very close fight.

    Mayweather, on the other hand, dominated Canelo for the most part. I didn't see a domination from Crawford. I saw a competitive, close fight.

      Both in their prime at their normal weight of 147, Floyd wins. Floyd beat a more game Canelo than Crawford. The Canelo Crawford fought was a shadow of himself. He reminded me if GGG when he fought Canelo for the third time. I thought for sure Canelos size would be too much considering Crawford went life and death with Madrimov, but Canelo just has way too many miles and I feel he was there just for a paycheck so he can go back to golfing.

        h2h Floyd the most accurate straight right hand spammer in the history of the sport of boxing takes it

        Bivol’s Cousin Madrimov feints and rights were a handful for TBud

        Floyd can do what Bivol’s Cousin Madrimov did but at a godlike level

        Floyd would have TBud biting on feint baits

        TBud can improve upon what Zab did but has the ability to adjust and heart. So the second half of the fight would still be competitive

          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
          This is completely true. People honestly have forgotten how good Mayweather was at the height of his career. The way he ducked, weaved, used his shoulder roll, stepped back, and hit a perfect counter punch. He made legends look like little kids in the ring. His performance against Juan Manuel Marquez is best described as a beautiful painting, and he personified the art of boxing. I know he avoided some big fights but when he fought everyone watched because it was the purest form of the sweet science.

            Floyd was perfect in his work boxing but made many social blunders

            wouldnt surprise me at all if Floyd was on the autism spectrum rofl

            Cognitive and intellectual strengths

            • Exceptional attention to detail: Many autistic people have a keen ability to notice and focus on fine-grained details that others might overlook. This can be a major asset in fields like data analysis, software testing, and art.

            • Enhanced pattern recognition: Autistic individuals often excel at recognizing repeating visual or auditory patterns. This skill is beneficial for logical thinking, problem-solving, mathematics, music, and engineering.

            • "Hyperfocus": The ability to concentrate intensely on a topic or task for extended periods is a common autistic trait. When directed toward a special interest, this can lead to deep expertise and a high level of productivity.

            • Strong memory: Many autistic people have an excellent memory for facts, figures, and specific information, particularly concerning their special interests.

            • Logical and visual thinking: Autistic individuals often think in a logical, systematic, and visual way, which can help with complex problem-solving. They may find innovative solutions by thinking "outside the box".

              May, easily
              More quality names by far

              But we know how these "unbiased" polls go when May's name is involved !!!!

              Shame how it's another poll that doesn't include Pac, Benny, GGG.........

                I voted Floyd. Crawford is right up there imo. Floyd’s defense separates them imo.

                Let’s never forget- Manny, Canelo and JMM- 3 1st ballot HOFers and considered ATGs by many, won a combined 3 rounds against Floyd.

                Both are ahead of Manny.

                  Both are all time greats, but Crawford doesn't have nearly the hall of fame fighters on his resume.

                    King Floyd is the king. Crawford? He's not a king.
