    Who would win? I think Crawford would beat Floyd. It would be one-sided, like Floyd beating up the mother of his children.

    Crawford is too big for Mayweather and Pacquiao. They never faced anyone like that at 147.

    Mayweather did beat Canelo so that's in his favor, but the critical distinction to me is that Crawford would have a two-inch reach advantage and it was rare for Floyd not to have superior reach.

    Floyd would never have fought Bud IMO, far too risky, even if Floyd is one of the few that could beat Crawford (and vice versa for Bud beating Floyd)

    But both guys have an incredible ceiling, and taking what Floyd showed a t his peak (e.g. Canelo) vs what Bud showed last night, it's a hard call. I'd probably edge 55/45 for Mayweather simply because he showed more adjustability in the ring, but that's a competetive as hell fight and a purists wet dream.

    I picked Floyd, but I'm not certain. I just think he would do enough to get over the line. It's pretty much 50/50 in my eyes

    Wish there was an unsure option, I may have chosen that

    Bud definitely beats all of Floyd's opponents at 147

    The reach is a key ingredient why I think Floyd would have been very reticent to fight Crawford - that's one of his biggest advantages negated right there and Floyd always liked a stack deck.

    Lmfao at the ******s thinking that since Crawford beat shell of Spence, he can beat Floyd. Lmfaooooo. Crawfords boxer puncher style is tailor made for him.

    Spence gave Floyd a tough time in sparring and that was a factor in Mayweathers decision to walk away from the sport

    Crawford would beat the dog **** out of Floyd. Nah but seriously. Totally different fight because Floyd would not engage Crawford. I favor Crawford though. Better reach, equal speed, more power, less defensive skills but still good. I think Floyd shells up and loses a decision. Floyd would have never fought Crawford though.

    maidana gave floyd problems in their first fight.. although floyd was bit past his prime.

    the thing is the fight being in vegas, the judges would favor floyd, but the thing about crawford is recently he rarely lets fights go to the cards. Crawford reminds me of hagler in a lot of ways. Both of those guys take the decision out of the judges hands

    I said this many times in the past, Crawford would beat Mayweather. People thought I was a hater for saying that, but it's even more true today.

    Floyd had trouble with fighters who had a good offense like Maidana and Castillo. He should have lost the first Castillo fight, but he got the decision because he was the bigger name. He arguably lost to Maidana in the first fight.

    Floyd don't like it when fighters can close the distance and come at him. Sometimes he goes into a defensive shell, stay on the ropes and lose rounds (See the first 5 rounds of the Maidana fight).

    Crawford is better than both Castillo & Maidana. He is a smart fighter and he won't try to outbox Floyd. He would bring the fight to Floyd and break him down. People also forgot that Floyd had trouble with southpaws as well. Crawford is a switch hitter and he can attack Floyd from different angles.
