    Lol no.

    And i had Postol winning 115-111. The crowd made it seem like Crawford was landing, but Postol had him missing all night.

        Bud needs a little more experience to be competitive with Money. Crawford has great counters but he'd have to be more assertive and not miss as many opportunities if he fought Mayweather. Not that he did anything less than great tonight, but Floyd has an even tighter game then Postol and won't chase you around the ring.

        Terrence will get there in time.

          Crawford looked like a southpaw lesser of Floyd's style tonight with less jab game, accuracy, and finesse.

          What he did that FLoyd doesn't is flurry.

            To beat Floyd, you have to land a shot that hurts him. TC has the ability to do that, and he also has the ability to turn it into a dog fight, while still being slick enough to not fall like certain fighters that had the right formula of turning it into a dog fight, but ultimately didn't have the full package to complete the job.

            TC can beat him, I know it. Of course Floyd's the favorite, but TC can use his slickness to be successful in his dog fight strategy and turn it ugly.

              Gotta disagree. Floyd is known for working repeated counters in the pocket. Didn't see anything like that from Crawford. He'd get in a counter and GTFO. Very, very different approach.

              Crawford was also extremely low output when at range while Floyd always kept busy with jabs, body jabs, sudden straights.

              All respect to your difference of opinion but I didn't see anything that made me think he was a southpaw Mayweather tonight.

                Mayweather is retired. You got Porter, Pacquiao, Vargas, Garcia, Thurman, Garcia, Broner, Spence. There are a lot of good fights that can be made. Let Mayweather stay retired.

                    It's not, can you hurt Floyd? There's tons of fighters that can hurt Floyd. It's can you land the shots to hurt Floyd? And TC can land the shots to hurt Floyd, and turn it ugly enough to steal a win, and it's his boxing ability that will allow him to not be a sitting duck after a few rounds, like all of Floyd's opponents, minus Pac.
