    Floyd made elite fighters look average.

    While Crawford looks elite against below average fighters, he looked pretty average against Mean Machine. You think Floyd would get dropped by a fighter that level?

      Nah. Judah’s superior hand speed and athleticism caught Floyd off guard moreso than anything else. It was the first time that Floyd stepped in the ring against a fighter with similar athletic gifts, but lesser fundamentally skilled, and of course not as mentally strong. Crawford has the edge over Judah in fundamentals and stronger mentally, but he’s nowhere near as fast and athletic as prime Judah was. Crawford fights at a pace that benefit Floyd.

        Its pretty hard to pick someone to win against Floyd when most of the time all he needs to do its make it to the cards and he'll be awarded a victory.

        The only guy who comes close how Mayweather does it is Canelo. Maybe they're neck in neck in that category .

        Mayweather at 147 was "Money". It was all about picking fights at the right time to pad a resume to make it better than it looked.

        Aka.

        If Mayweather was in today's 147 he would whine and complain that Bob won't let his guys fight him while saying that they didnt deserve the fights because they're nobodies.

        You know how he plays that game.

          Mayweather never fought anyone in their prime so who knows.

            a slow starter who isn’t a pressure fighter and often gets caught in his biggest fights wouldn’t do too well VS Mayweather

            Crawford would still be trying to figure Floyd out when Floyd has fully cracked his code by round 4

                Prime welterweight Floyd meaning from the man we saw in the fights with

                Zab
                De La Hoya
                Hatton
                Marquez

                Crawford wouldn’t make Marquez into easy work

                  I actually agree.

                    Not a Pacquiao fan. Fix that detector. It’s as busted as your girlfriends face.

                      Mayweather by a comfortable UD. Crawford is too sloppy for someone like Mayweather who would capitalize on those mistakes.
