If Crawford beats Pac, I can't see Floyd sitting around letting someone take his shine. Floyd would come out of retirement if Crawford were to embarrass Pac.

No way will Floyd come out of retirement to face Crawford. Floyd will be 40 by then, he'll fight someone so many levels below him that he can still win, or someone nearer his own age.

Floyd’s at an age when he can seemingly grow old overnight. And boxing is a sport where upsets happen. So Crawford could surprise us all if this bout ever took place.

That being said, unlike the vast majority of all his previous opponents, Crawford won’t hold any physical advantages over Mayweather, except for youth.

The only potential threat to Floyd is Terence’s better work-rate, but I doubt this will be enough to overcome Mayweather’s vastly superior experience, speed, reflexes and boxing skills.

Therefore, Mayweather would be a huge favourite to score another very comfortable 116-112 decision victory over Crawford.

Styles make fights and even though Crawford may have the right “style” and youth to potentially score an upset over Manny Pacquiao, that doesn’t mean he’ll be competitive against Floyd.

Crawford is definitely faster at this point, but that counter and lead right of Floyd's is timing he's never seen. Close decision.

At this point and with fair judging, Crawford should take it.

Right now, probly Floyd in a close one, in the very near future, Crawford.

Crawford at first glance doesn't look like he has any standout physical advantages over Floyd, but the way he moves when attacking or defending, to me he looks more naturally athletic and gifted than Floyd.

He can potentially accomplish the same things that Floyd did in his career, but in a much more exciting fashion.
