140lb Terence "Bud" Crawford vs 140lb Floyd "Pretty Boy Mayweather

[jvsnypes]

Great fight!!! Floyd was prime and much more offensive at 140. I would give the advantage to him. I see him outpointing Crawford in a very exciting and competitive fight. From what I've witnessed, Crawford gets tagged quite a bit by lesser fighters. A sharp shooter like Floyd would consistently connect. And with all the ability and talent that Crawford has, Floyd is still the more polished and technical fighter and has the chin and stamina to go all 12 with him. If it made it to the final bell, that version of Floyd wins in a classic. But the thing is, we don't know if we have seen Crawford at his best yet. If he shows another level against another A caliber opponent, then my opinion could definitely change.

I'll go with Floyd. Floyd was more offensive below 140. He has the reach advantage despite being shorter.He has the speed advantage as well.

Real good fight. I could see Floyd getting rocked like he did against Shane.

i could see floyd ducking this guy in his prime, and making up some far fetched excuse why it was his fault, and you co-signing it...

[Floyd is TBE]

Mayweather easy.

I could see Mayweather schooling him easy. Than the haters all of a sudden would start closely examining Crawfords resume and admitting its ****

Don't assume Crawford behaves like he is a cowardly PED user with something to hide. Crawford isn't the kind of guy that would refuse drug testing (because he is clean) nor would he turn down the most he was ever offered to fight a guy he said "I have nothing more to prove".

The same guy that got buzzed by blown up Gamboa . Crawford would get exposed as the hype job he is. The guy has fought 0 elite fighters to even ask this question. Crawford's resume is weak as hell and as long as he stays with Top Rank that won't change. Pretty Boy Floyd by UD maybe TKO.

Exposed by the same guy that got buzzed by DeMarcus Corley and bloodied by Augustus?

You can do that with any fighter.

Man, this is a tough one, at 140 thats when Floyd started being more stationary. Also Crawford is long rangey and switch hits, he could confuse Floyd with that southpaw stance and switch hitting.

=Crawford just beat Diaz who is abt the same skill wise as Floyd and Manny.=

What?

I strongly disagree... Diaz about the same skill as Floyd and Manny? No disrespect to Diaz but he is no where near Floyd/Pac.

Though I do agree with you, as far as Crawford being a problem for Floyd.

[chrisJS]

I think it's fair to say both guys would present the other with the hardest match-up. Floyd has operated on a higher level as he's 11 years older and had a full career to judge. He didn't seem to like southpaws or testing his skills against fellow speedsters or slicksters so obviously he'd have a hard time being talked into a Crawford match.

It would be a 50/50 matchup until either Bud proves more or Bud proves to be not as good as he's looked lately (not likely).

Floyd would not "Buzz" Crawford.. and am I missing something or Gamboa wasn't getting tossed around like a rag doll in there? Floyds not built like that to buzz people of crawfords skill even though I think he would win it would be a tough fight for him. You fanboying too hard slow down.
