A tweet pondering if Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford had fought each other in their primes recently took fans by storm. While Terence Crawford is currently 35 and reigning the WBO World Welterweight title in boxing, Mayweather, 45 and retired, is on his way to fight yet another exhibition in 2023. If Mayweather and Crawford, two of the bests in professional boxing,had fought each other in their primes, what would the potential outcome be?
Crawford is 35 and when Mayweather was of his age, he had the WBA and WBC Welterweight titles in boxing. In fact, Mayweather was fighting the likes of Saul Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, and Marcos Maidana in the ring. Unstoppable and impenetrable, Mayweather dominated even in his mid-thirties. Therefore, as soon as the said question hit the net, fans went into a frenzy.

The boxing world predicts possible outcomes of Floyd Mayweather vs. Terence Crawford in boxing
While some acknowledged Mayweather’s defence and unique abilities, a number of fans held Terence Crawford for the big win. According to one user, Crawford will find it difficult early in the rounds. However, he would catch up and KO Mayweather to snatch a win.
Crawford will lose early rounds then try to catch up late , the problem is Floyd’s defense would be too good for Crawford to get a late ko .

Fans have short memories. Could NOBODY beat @FloydMayweather
Floyd had the best defense and a good and tested chin. Fast but soft hands. Wasn’t sure to give the KO but he definitely made his opponents pay for missing their target. And they missed often.— Ivan Salaberrios (@IvanSalaberrios) December 24, 2022
Meanwhile, one fan, in a very similar tone, said that none could beat Floyd. Whether it be Crawford or Spence Jr., according to them, Floyd always stood his ground inside the ring.
