    Hand speed: Floyd

    Punching accuracy: Floyd
    Footwork: Floyd
    Ring IQ: Floyd

    I wouldn’t even give Crawford the offense advantage even though he’s a more active puncher than Floyd was. His jab isn’t as good as Floyd’s jab was. He winged a lot of his punches. The only things he has going for him is being a switch-hitter and possibly punching power and his willingness to take more risk.
    Nice mom joke. You’re creativity is amazing. Like that of a child. Although on an adult it’s clinical retardation. It must be why you think you’ve got some proof here that Mayweather wins this fight that you’re so gung ho about this.

    Keep your opinion to yourself pal, you’re not changing mine.

      Pay close attention to Crawford’s fights against Benavidez and Kavathageejshrwkehejejawga. He got beat to the punch so many times in a repeated pattern that it was unbelievable to watch. There’s nothing about Crawford’s style that catches your eyes like a prime Roy Jones Jr, SRL, Floyd, Pacquiao, etc. Point being, you can see him telegraph a majority of his punches in comparison to those guys that I listed. There’s no “Holy**** WTF did I just witness” factor when you’re watching him in the ring. He’s a skilled/crafty and good all-around fighter with a lot of fundamental flaws that can be exploited easily by a fighter of Floyd’s caliber.

        Could go either way. Look at the success Zab had with Mayweather. Unlike Zab, Crawford is mentally tough.

          Oh well. Agree to disagree. I guess we’ll never know. I never claim to have any proof. I just observe their fighting styles throughly and determine who I strongly feel would come out on top.

            ^^^^This. The way some of these guys on here talk about Crawford, you’d think that he’s the second coming of Mayweather/Roy Jones Jr from the outside looking in. There’s zero explosiveness and “once in a lifetime” type of feel to his fighting style.

                Crawford is POSSIBLY the best fighter in a weak transitional era until the next Floyd or Roy arrives

                Cant compare Crawford to Floyd

                Crawford hasn’t faced any greats yet and still struggles vs good fighters

                Floyd dominated good fighters. It took VERY good to great fighters to push Floyd

                There’s a 2 or 3 level difference from Floyd to Crawford

                As it stands Alvarez is currently a better fighter than Crawford

                    Agreed. I don’t even like that red head spoiled brat, but if he was able to still fight at 147 or 154, I don't see Crawford or Spence beating him. While they both may have quicker foot speed than him, he’s still a much sharper counter-puncher with better punching accuracy.

                      Floyd made elite guys look average. Crawford makes average guys look elite.
