Is Crawford a younger Mayweather?

[deathofaclown]

Floyd never got discredited for his wins, not by anyone credible.

Plenty of supposed credible people still don't want to give him credit for his wins. Floyd used to fight fellow champions and it still wasn't good enough in the eyes of most people. Fights that were considered great fights for anyone else were still considered not good enough when Floyd was fighting them.

It's no wonder he just started to focus on money, it's not like he was ever getting that much respect for what he did in boxing.

He is really good but he is no Mayweather, time will show this!

Definitely not a young Mayweather. A lot of people underrate young Mayweather & how dominate he was. Floyd was fighting & stopping Genaro Hernandez 24 months into his pro career at age 21. Crawford was fighting & going to decision with Angel Rios (9 wins, 6 losses) 2 years into his pro career. Different levels of talent,. Very different career trajectories when you consider both guys were guided by Arum early on who tends to smartly move guys based on their talent & skill & he took his sweet time moving Crawford into competitive fights.

Is it me or does it seem as if Floyd is not only better defensively but asladdo better offensively when you compare him to crawford.

Defense wins fights.

lazy comparison.

Okay, i've been a Mayweather fan too before he became too main street. But actually, Crawford is as dominant as Mayweather ever was. Crawford never came close to loose in one scorecard as far as i know.

Crawford is very good and dominant as well -- but, so far, he didn't face he level of competition Floyd faced up to 29 of age... and that not even close...
