Crawford vs Mayweather

[GrandpaBernard]

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.

how will he deal with Floyd's jabbery

You need to have Rigondeaux type of skills to be competitive against Mayweather, to make it look like a chess game. I'm a fan of Bud, but Money will school Crawford

What has Rigo shown that bud has not on a large scale? I don't think there a big gap skill wise between the two just a different approach....

Floyd beats Crawford but Crawford beats Pacquiao

The level of mastery Regal displayed vs Nonito

[CLUE]

Well a Floyd fight would not go anything like this, because Floyd is not going to be casing him around the ring. First few rounds will be Crawford testing and trying to outbox Floyd, wont work. Then he will start coming forward... will get jabbed, countered, hold, jab, countered, hold, etc..

Crawford beats Manny.

Counter over it, or just dog fight his ass. TC is the new Hagler. I'm not saying he for sure wins. I'm saying he has the style and ability to beat him. He's so special, and has that "IT" factor that you just can't explain.

Nah, you have to be slick, have master class boxing skills, but also have a dog mentality, and have the chin, heart, and mentality to turn it ugly in there.

Yes

Floyd knows how to cut off a ring and apply pressure if required

Floyd-Zab good performance that demonstrated versatility
