Crawford or Mayweather

[SouthpawRight]

Floyd's superior foot speed, hand speed, and reflexes would give Bud hell.

If Madrimov was able to trouble Bud with feints and lead rights, what do you think May would have done?

Is gap in athleticism between the two that big?

none the less we seen Floyd beat up guys who are nearly as fast as him manny or even faster than him Zab

WTF are we talking about.....FMJ at 130/135 is leaps and bounds above Crawford.

Best PBF-Diego

Best $ May-Juan

Best TBE-Saul

Best Floyd vs Southpaws-manny

TBud would have a definite advantage in size weighing 160 to 165 on the night of at welterweight to Floyd 148 to 150

he'd be bigger by 10 to 17 pounds

Mayweather, Mayweather, Mayweather

I think TBud better at clinch fighting than Floyd was

possibly infighting as a whole

Floyd by far for me personally, whether its accomplishments, skills, resumes. Floyd is one of the best I've ever seen, period.
Crawford is a guy who I see more as very good. He's the best in a truly terrible era.

With Floyd I see a special fighter, an all-time great. Great skills, speed, athleticism, outstanding reflexes & so on with Crawford I more see a very good, fundamentally sound southpaw.
Unique in a way as its very rare you see a southpaw with such a great jab.

I think Crawfords very good (modern great) but I don't see that X factor personally. I don't think he has blazing speed, a concussive puncher, has other-wordy reflexes or anything like that its more he is well oiled, well schooled, good fundamentals.

I agree with almost everything here. The evolution of Floyd as he aged and lost some of his physical abilities, but gained in IQ and experience.

Best Floyd vs Southpaws would have been Ortiz had he been able to show us more.

I think the speed difference is clear, but they both have elite timing. I remembered thinking Manny had faster hands and feet than Floyd until they shared the ring. I was pleasantly surprised.

Floyd must’ve done something to some of these boxers for the type of bitterness they have towards him. They’re admitting Floyd is in the conversation for the GOAT without fully admitting it with their constant comparisons. Why not bring up Sugar Ray Robinson, Leonard, etc?

I would say Crawford is stronger in the clinch, but Floyd was more creative. Floyd was way better at the catch and shoot game.

Timmeh the same guy who while active admitted he'd have no idea on how to fight Floyd

Timmeh the same guy who unprompted declared in the ring that manny would never beat Floyd. As Tim awaited the decision he got over manny in fight 1



We have working eyes Madrimov outboxed TBud for 5 out of 12 rounds.

Madrimov gave TBud a harder time than Zab or manny did Floyd

I wish I could find that footage, but it was a training footage of Bradley training for his third fight against Manny stating how easy it was for Floyd to beat Pacquiao and demonstrating how he’ll do the same, etc, and then fast forward to fight night, he came out doing well in the early rounds, then he got dropped and reverted right back to his wild swinging. Manny had him doing backflip, front flip, etc.

yes since he was given 3 attempts I expected Timmeh to get at least 1 real win over his good friend Timmeh

but manny was simply too good for Timmeh

But Timmeh's other friend TBud's open lane jab and southpaw lead hook would give manny hell

manny increasingly desperate as the open lane jab picks him apart then lunges in to be countered into oblivion
