    Nah, Crawford is nearly 30 and has 1 credible win on his resume. At this point in his career Floyd already had a monster resume.

      Nah he's good but he can't do the things a young Floyd could do in the ring. He's like a more rugged and versatile version of Lara or something.

        Anyway, you just proved my point, people are clearly not giving TC the credit he deserve for been such a dominant champion.
        As I mentioned, Gamboa is considerably smaller. Crawford is 29 years old on his 30th fight. Floyd was on his 30th fight at 26 and had already beat JLC twice, Chico, Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfredy, and Augustus. Bro, there is no comparison

            And i never seen Mayweather fight a olympic gold medalist in pro boxing. You can discredit Gamboa win as much as you want, this guy is still a beast, he got so much speed it's still impressive.
            Gamboa was small. Had Gamboa been a natural Jr Welter he probably would've won

                Oscar de la Hoya got a gold medal and was a much larger man

                I don't know even like Floyd man, can't believe I'm defending hin

                      Smilarity:
                      -They are both the same size
                      -Both undefeated
                      -Both are multiple weight champions (Crawford will likely become a champion at 147, is unified champion at 135-140)
                      -Both are getting past challenges making it seem easy.
                      -Both are getting discredited for their wins
                      -Both are fighters we can say are not brawlers, but are experts of the ''sweet science'' of boxing.

                      Difference:
                      -Mayweather was trash talking alot, wich made him become popular to casual fans around the world // Crawford is quiet, he might never become as popular.

                      Dude, this is red K worthy.

                      None of those "similarities" warrant a comparison.

                      Also, much of this is pure ignorance, or trolling.

                      Floyd never got discredited for his wins, not by anyone credible. I haven't seen Crawford get discredited either. And no, you trying to argue otherwise isn't going to make that true, because it's not.

                      You can be a brawler and an expert of the sweet science as well, just goes to show how much you know about this sport.

                      There really isn't much similar between the two at all quite frankly. A waste of a thread here.
