    Why isn't Crawford vs Floyd ever mentioned?

    Like Pac vs Crawford is? I'm a fan of both so it would be tough to watch but with Floyd seemingly edging towards a 50th fight and Crawford's star never being higher than it is right now I think in terms of the money that would be a huge fight.

    I guess on both sides there would be a reluctance. Floyd taking Terence's 0 wouldn't be good for the future of American boxing and Terence tarnishing Floyd's record wouldn't be good either.

    I've not heard Floyd speak about Crawford before but it seems like Bud is a fan of Floyd as he's always said nice things about him.

    Since not even his fans want him to comeback. Floyd's boring style has caught up even to his fans.

    Stay retired Froid.

    Link to Floyd's comeback, even Floyd fans and loyalists don't want him to comeback lol

    Oh and there is his usual duck season.

      I'm a Mayweather fan but that would be boring as *****. They both have to fight an aggressive fighter.

          I think it's partly because of the Promoter beef, partly because it's a worse fight stylistically, and partly because Manny has made it plain he will fight soon and Floyd is still taking it easy and maybe just stays retired.

          Personally I wish Floyd and Manny would both stay retired and let Crawford and all these younger guys stake their claims.

          FWIW Floyd beats Crawford in a safety-first unanimous decision. Floyd is more willing to stink it out as long as he wins.

            Floyd doesn't fight black fighters who are still in their prime that's a fact.

                    Judah? Corrales? Corley? Nduh? He was calling Mosley out for years too before they fought .
