    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
    None of those hall of famers were in their prime. Oscar didn't just win 3 rds. He won on one of the scorecards. You smoking crack?
    • Jerry Roth: 115–113 for Mayweather.
    • Chuck Giampa: 116–112 for Mayweather.
    • Tom Kaczmarek: 115–113 for De La Hoya.



    Oscar was shot and koed before and it was a sd win by floyd. Manny was koed cold before he faced him. In fact bud's win agaisnt spence is better than any win mayweather has at 147. He beat a p4p top 5 undefeated fighter in a 50-50 betting odds fight something floyd never did.

      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.
      lmao. He arguably lost to castillo 1 and de la hoya was a sd. Which fight did bud almost lose? Ummm none.

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.
        he beat a guy two weight classes smaller and he missed weight lmao.

          Bud wouldn't have controversial wins like floyd did and he'd beat every version of fighter Floyd did, whether it was the old shane Mosley or the 70 fight one arm pac version.
          But if bud wants it to be more clear cut, he could rematch nelo, something floyd didnt, and beat benevidez and 160 title.
          Bud should try do everything he believes he can do. If he really believed he can beat benavides at 175.......go for it

              Yep. That’s how I had the fight too. I ignored all the biased commentary, etc. 8-4 Crawford. Ward and Roy scored it the same way I had it. That 2-3 days post fight clarity hits differently, I watched both Canelo-Crawford, and then Mayweather-Canelo yesterday, and it was clear as day that Floyd singlehandedly had a more dominant virtuoso performance in comparison to Crawford, but not only that, the speed, level-changes, split-seconds adjustments showed that Floyd was still a tier level ahead of Crawford in terms of skills. Crawford got the better win based on the history behind it, but Floyd’s performance was more impressive.

                It reminds me of how Bradley fought Marquez following Floyd’s game plan, but the difference was Bradley wasted a lot of unnecessary energy moving around and still got caught more.

                  We all know you people are trolling. Crawford will end his career having beaten one hall of famer. Pitiful resume and the fact that people are trying to compare him to Floyd is pure rage bait.

                    is all hypothetical but if it was at 147 in prime i would go with mayweather.... would be close though
