    Better win if it happens, Mayweather-Canelo or Pacquiao-Crawford?

    If Pacquiao at 41 beats Pound for Pound top 5 fighter, arguably the pound for pound king and former 3 division world champion, undisputed jr welterweight champion and current welterweight champ; Terrence Crawford,
    Would it a better win than when Floyd Mayweather who was the pound for pound king an 2 division champion at the same time at age 36 defeated young Canelo Alvarez who was a rising 2x champion?


    Let’s debate!

    Pacquiao over Crawford would be far bigger, but what Crawford does after is important.

      Pac/Thurman was already a better win than Floyd/Canelo.

        Disagree, Canelo got whitewashed before he touched his prime by a past prime Mayweather and went on an amazing run of beating boogeyman’s, bad style match up’s and risky challenges for a future 1st ballot hall of fame selection!

        Bud by many has been told that he’s beaten nobody but paper champs and past prime fighters, Canelo’s win over a prime Austin Trout is undoubtedly better than anything Bud has!

          That’s debatable, Thurman was severely inactive but it was an impressive win since he also dropped him and had another round that could’ve been a 10-8 his way!

          I feel like Mayweather taking Canelo to school then homeschooled him and then back was more impressive!

          Only thing more impressive would be if Pacquiao washes Bud on the cards or gets a stoppage!

            True, this is a troll thread. Pac s win over cott o is better than Floyd's win over nelo.

            When I first saw only thread title I mistakenly believed it was if Floyd rematch nel o at 154 and Crawford v Pac at 147?

              You have got to be smoking some good stuff to actually say that!

              Both fights were catch-weights but one guy totally dominated the other and the other guy may have last 2 rounds plus got his ear drum busted!

              Canelo also went on to beat Cotto, the Canelo win is looking greater and greater, not sure if Bud could bounce back if he loses to Pacquiao especially in a fight he would be a pretty good favorite to win!

                Depends on the weights and rehydration clauses and drug testing

                  Pac s win over cotto is better than Floyd's win over nelo.
                  Pac has done so much at 147, beating clotte y at 147 better than cotto did, beating thurman at 41, so most conclude Pac would beat cott o at 147. Pac is so amazing his resume is better than cotto now being a former flyweight.

                  Floyd on other hand has nt done enough at 154 to prove h ed beat nel o without cw. He hasn't beat anyone who nel o went life and death with at 154, better than nelo did like Pac did beating clotte y more convincingly than cott o did! The reason cws usually aren't respected is we don't know if you'd win without cw!. More evidence Pac wins without cw, than there is Floyd wins without cw.

                  Plus nel o hadn't beat anyone any good back then convincingly!. No ssm wasn't any good. So it's not even great win in first place without cw in discussion

                    Thurman was not severely inactive. He fought a few months prior and beat Lopez. Claimed he was going to KO Manny and felt great before the fight. He was in with better opposition than Canelo was when he fought Floyd. Undefeated WW champ, beat two top tier WW in Garcia and Porter. Canelo’s best win was Trout and a gift over Lara.
