Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Feels Crawford Could Be Another Floyd Mayweather

[kiDynamite92]

Yeah right.

Mayweather would never rely on gift decisions against the likes of Postol. The crowd and commentators skewed everyones judgement of that fight. Crawford was barely landing most of the rounds apart from some lucky flash knockdowns. Postol won about 8 or 9 rounds clearly.

This is just an attempt to get people talking about the JLC fight and then turning this into a Floyd hating thread.

What?

no it's not. I like Floyd and felt he won the first JLC fight, it was close as he was injured but i felt he edged it.

Also, he comes across as a very sweet humble guy. He has a more laid back personality than Mayweather, therefore he should generate a lot less hate.

Floyd had more of a magic touch and was just the all round better coordinated fighter but Crawford is highly talented and could become a first ballot hall of famer.

[Larry the boss]

yea I see more whitaker than floyd...those sneaky counter lefts from the southpaw stance and the nice body shots. Also even if bud doesnt stop you, he beats you up like whitaker did even though he wasnt a great puncher.

I think the way he adapts mid fight reminds people of floyd

The way he adapts and controls the distance is what reminds me of Mayweather

Floyd had that reach advantage that Crawford doesn't have tho.

Mayweather had better reflex's and was faster..Crawford has a 70 inch reach and Floyd had a 72 inch reach...not to far apart..Crawford has long arms

Calling bull on that. There probably will never be another FMJ in our lifetime. The guy had the image to go along with the boxing skills. Plus, the fight styles are completely different. Crawford is a great talent. But it would be easier to compare him to other switch-stance boxers like Hagler.

He can fight on the back foot or going forward. He can switch sides and shows snap via both sides with good defense. Appears strong and fresh. Get used to him folks, Crawford is going to be here quite a long time.
