Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Terence Crawford: The fantasy bout fans can’t stop talking about!
Diving straight into the heart of the matter, Terence Crawford’s recent triumph over Errol Spence Jr. was spectacular. Crawford’s resiliency and skill were on full display in this fight. He avoided Spence Jr.’s punches and countered to earn a stunning victory. Hence the triumph only helped stoke the fire of speculation about how the former might versus Mayweather Jr., provided both were in their prime.
Stuart Robison chimed in, passionately declaring that all those believing that Mayweather Jr. would knockout Terence Crawford are living in a fool’s paradise. The Nebraskan schooled Spence Jr. during their bout; hence, given his skills, ‘The Money’ will have a daunting task ahead of him if they meet. The user said, “People [who are] all saying Mayweather would smother him are absolute idiots. Crawford made Errol Spence look like an amateur in that last fight. He would give Mayweather a very tough fight with his technical ability.”
Scott Devlin said it’s a clash that sits on the fence, though he disclosed a clear leaning for Mayweather Jr. He said, “Would be an excellent fight. [It’s] hard to pick a winner when neither guy even came close to losing a fight, but [I’ve got to go] with Mayweather.” Meanwhile, Jackie Mccall expressed a contrasting sentiment: “Without a doubt, Floyd’ The Dodge King’ Mayweather wins this easily and in the most boring fashion ever.”
Nevertheless, not all fans sided with Mayweather Jr. Dennis Nascimento had ‘Bud’ a clear winner and stated, “Terrence Crawford by a late stoppage or knockout.” He wasn’t alone in this line of thinking.
Lastly, John Patrick Cummings bridged the gap, expressing, “Have to go Mayweather because he beat better people but Crawford gives any fighter ever nightmares.”
As we’ve seen, the spirited responses from fans testify to the legacy and impact both fighters have had on the sport. Their imagined duel in the ring represents a match, a collision of styles and boxing philosophies.
So, with all said and done, we turn the question over to you: In a battle between prime Mayweather and prime Crawford, who do you think would emerge victoriously?
