    People aren't just going off of Floyd's word alone too. At 24/7, everytime the camera was on McGregor he was doing some type of training.

    However, the episodes that focussed on Floyd had Floyd going out with his family to ranches and game reserves and all sorts of things, not once did they show him training.

    So it is believable that he did probably not have camp, not to mention in those episodes he kept bragging about how he wasn't training and didn't need to to beat McGregor.

    But I'm still not convinced he can beat Crawford right now. The Floyd that fought Guerrero and Canelo at age 36, now you see, that guy, that guy was unbeatable.

    He would beat anyone in and around his weight class.
    I also think the 2013 Floyd was the best version for of him...

    Still wouldn’t take him over Robinson, Leonard or Hearns though. Doesn’t have the size or physicality to beat those guys.

      No chance, the Mayweather that fought Canelo possibly, bit I definitely think the Mayweather that fought Ortiz would edge Crawford.

        Prime Mayweather could. Today's Mayweather has almost no chance to beat Crawford in my opinion. Crawford is still in his late prime and very excellent, Mayweather is still good but at age 43 like any 43 year old boxer he is too far past prime to beat a Spence or a Crawford in my opinion. I don't think 42 year old Pac would beat Crawford for the same reason. He is just too old. A boxer can stall off father time for a while with good diet and training but they can't defeat father time.

          In 2013, he was 36, it's hard to argue he was at his best at that age, he jjst declined slowly enoug that we did not see the signs until he was 37, because he didn't take much damage for the amount of fights he had, and always lived the life.

            Floyd might be too old now.

              Floyd didn't entertain idea of fighting bud when Floyd was fighting the bertos of this world.
              So I'm not making Floyd favourite in this lifetime. Bud by 9th round ko

                Yep. Back when Floyd was fighting Berto, aka 3 years before Crawford was in the division. So I guess Mayweather ducked all 135lbers when he was at WW. Smh

                      No. He is too old now and too inactive

                      Maybe he could still beat B levels, but not elite fighters who are active and in shape

                      better to keep beating on MMA clows, japanese midgets and youtubers for a quick buck
