      Crawford has the length to match Floyd but a younger Floyd was a way more offensive fighter with faster reflexes and better power. I'd take Floyd at 135-140 by UD. 147 Floyd I don't know, he was way too inactive for me, laying on the ropes and landing a punch here and there. Crawford would be a tough out for him

        If you think current Crawford would've beat prime Floyd, knowing past it Floyd beat 36 yr old Manny, how can you think 38 yr old Manny would beat current Crawford?
        Well styles make fights and im not claiming one would beat the other.

        Dont forget that when Floyd fought Pac, he rarely engaged with the guy and fought a scared and safe distance fight with him to get the victory.

        With Pac, Crawford is at the age where he has major balls and wouldnt be scared to engage with him and that could lead to him getting clipped.

        At this stage i think Crawford beats either Pac or Floyd but at 140 hed be fighting a 'primer' Floyd and it would be more of an even fight.

              Mayweather has better fundamentals but TC hits harder and is more fluid but I think May would take him. Experience counts for a lot and before 140, Mayweather had fought some tougher opposition than TC has aged 29.

                Crawford is a great fighter but he just isn't on "that" level plus Floyd is better at most things. Plus Crawford isn't a one punch ko artist

                Him beating Floyd is just not logical

                  Can't see Crawford beating Mayweather. At 135 and 140 Floyd was a different fighter. He has better hand speed, foot speed defense and command of the ring. Crawford isn't going to outbox him he has to cut off the ring and pressure Floyd. Floyd moves very quickly around the ring. I don't think he can do it. Floyd also hit hard enough to keep his opponents honest.

                    I think Duran vs Crawford would be closer.

                      Lol. Keep fighting the good fight
