Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Wouldn't Have Gone For KO Like Crawford

Floyd at 135 would have but once those hands got more brittle, not so much. I still think that Bob brings up his name a lot because he's still bitter he let that cash cow go. TC is next.

Mayweather has bad hands. You know that Bob. Money May is a twelve round fighter. Besides, he never carried a lot of power at 147 anyway because of his lack of size; He couldn't carry his power with him.

That is correct.

[Drew Bundini Br]

Hell, he couldn't KO Baldomir, Guerrero, Berto, or Ortiz without a sucker punch.

At 147 FLOYDS bones in hands were ultra brittle. How many rounds all combined did those fighters win against FLOYD?

True. Crawford is a hell of a finisher!

This guy was ranked what 15th by the WBO, if Floyd fought a guy like that he would never hear the end of it.

Taking it further, FLOYD wouldn't of been allowed to fight ALGIERI,RIOS or HORN without an official boycott.

Let's keep in mind this is only CRAWFORDS 2nd 147 fight after moving up from 135,140. He gets credit for beating the tough undefeated taller man.

Them bones weren't so brittle when he was beating his baby-mama. Save the excuses.

Crawford is 31. When, exactly, does he plan on stepping up his level of competition?

What's next? Crawford - Horn 2, Crawford - Vargas or maybe Crawford - Provodnikov?

Mayweather, the former career 130 pound fighter, wouldn’t have gone for the KO in a 147 fight?

I’m sure if Crawford was a career 130 pound fighter he wouldn’t have retained his power either. And they’re completely different in actual weight too, Crawford is 10lbs bigger than Floyd in the ring at 147lbs.

Why does everyone wanna compare a fighter to the older past their prime Mayweather? Let's see how all these so called great fighters are when they're at Floyd's age when he adapted his style. Will Loma and Crawford be the same fighter they are when they're 35-36 years old? Will they have the same style and will Crawford actually fight an elite fighter by that time? Bud's biggest name, Gamboa is pretty much on par with Chicanito Hernandez, who Floyd fought in his 18th fight to win a title at 21.
