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

[Larry the boss]

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

He was ranked #10

you just named 4 world champions.Jose was nowhere close to a world champ

The weakest champions ever, two of them had to beat Berto for their shot at Floyd. LMAO.

All that matter is, they were champions and were ranked higher than Jose when Floyd fought them.

the 130 mayweather that fought corrales would have KO'd him earlier. in saying that, crawford is a killer and arum has a valud point. to win by KO in the 12th round was huge. he had won the fight and could have taken it easy, instead he smelt blood and went for the kill.

What does knocking out a bum in the 12th round prove? Please tell me .

Closing the show in a fan, against an undefeated fighter, in a fan friendly fight, the way it's supposed to be done against an opponent you outclass. Can Mayweather say the same against, oh say, Robert the Ghost Guerrero? Or Andre Berto? or the dude that beat up Broner (can't remember his name, lol)?? Nope!!

Floyd wouldn't even fought this nobody bum when he was 30 years old.

ESPN and Arum need to do better by Crawford if "People's Champion" is the label you want to go b/c this fight had zero build up and the segment with Bud and his mom was downright creepy and hood rat'ish. That was a horrible look and force f&&ked down the viewer's unsettling throats.

lol. I absolutely agree with that!

Crawford did what his corner told him to do. They told him to not do anything crazy because the fight was won, but if there is an opening to go for it. If not, don't take any unnecessary risks. He followed his instructions. Many times, Roger doesn't even have to say anything when Prime Floyd was in there.

And in fact, come on now. All professional boxers at their level of the sport already know that the instructions for that particular scenario are common sense.

But watch the Cotto fight if you don't think Mayweather throws with conviction in the final round. If he would have dropped dude with one of those shots in the 12th the way Crawford did, of course he would go for the KO.

Floyd first fight at welter were with sharmba, zab, and baldomir... not even the same league, barely the same sport.

[Manic Shot]

If Benavidez lower his hands like he did on Crawford fight, he'll got KO easily by Floyd with sucker punch!
