    the 23 year old green Nelo, and possibly drained Nelo would get KOed by current version of crawford…

    you gotta be too biased to say that…
    He wasn’t green. He was 42-0-1. He looked bad for the same reason Manny did- Floyd is an ATG who is just better than him.

      @ the bold, doe

      Nelo started his boxing career at 15
      By the time he reached 23, he had more than enough experience to compete with he best of them.

      How many advantages should "green" Nelo have gotten ?
      Bad enough May was almost OLD enough to be his father.

        Floyd beat Canelo long before Crawford did. A fresh, young Canelo too…not this shopworn old man who loads up on punches and only throws one shot at a time and has had knee and wrist surgeries. And who just added an elbow surgery to that.
        This full pledge 168lbs version of canelo would KO his 23 year old green and possibly drained 152lb version loool

        floyd took zero risk in fightiny canelo and still even ask for 152lb catweight when he wws already a champ twice at 154lbs… while Crawford moved up almost 3 divisions with 0 request no gloves no hydration clause no issues loool

        but since he won the narrative changes because nelo said crawford was better…

          Oh please floyd was 36 yrs old when he fought canelo with 2 years of rest and layoff during his prime.. you guys really like to exaggerate to support your dumb a$$ takes.

          Crawford was 38 when fought Nelo… climbed almost 3 weight classes with zero requests, no gloves issue, no hydration issue no catweight issues..

          floyd meanwhile still requested to have a catchweight and took zero risk in fighting nelo at a weight he was already a champ twice..

          Crawford’s move takes ballss.. even a die hard fan with proper brain cells should be able to see that

            You saw Canelo look like sh-t against William Scull the fight before, right? This version of Canelo is on the decline and has regressed.

                That’s because scull ran all night. You think a 23 year old nelo would do better? Lol lara didn’t ran as much as scull and still young nelo didn’t look good lol

                23 year old nelo would look the same way against scull if not worse.

                put 23 year old nelo against his 34 year old version and he gets battered like he did munguia lol

                put 23 year old 152lb Nelo against Bivol and he gets KOed

                  Reading comprehension is really pretty rare… im not arguing about that point at all, he was exaggerating about floyd being really old when he fought Nelo when he was just 36 years old with ultra fresh legs because of his long layoffssss..

                  so nope floyd wasn’t old when he fought nelo…

                  By any means floyd’s win over Nelo is not as close to being more impressive than crawford’s because
                  - he took zero risks
                  - it was on catweight
                  - he wasn’t even that old at the time

                  while crawfords:
                  - he climbed almost 3 divisions (never done before from 154lbs to 168lbs)
                  - he took serious risk with no catchweight no hydration clauses
                  - he is already 38 years old

                    Crawford as the bside has no leverage to request anything. He had to go up or else he wouldn’t get fight.

                    Floyd made a cw the same way manny did with Cotto. The bigger earner calls the shots.

                      Age, when it comes to boxing is not cut and dry
                      Nelo was not green when he fought May
                      May was just on another level.
                      A guy like GGG could have fought well into his late 80's if he kept fighting guys like Roll, Isheda, LeMeh, Kamil, Murata, Vanes, Brook, Wade, Monroe, Murray, Rubio (you get the drift)
                      Nelo had plenty of experience to earn a fight with May

                      Haters say GGG was old when he fought Nelo, so................................................ .................................................. ......................
