No one dead or alive is way better than Floyd, so that takes away from his statement.

Translation: Bud beat me up way better than Floyd.
Even the translation is not accurate. Floyd's win over him is still more impressive. Floyd really toyed with him the whole fight

He was a pup then. You can't compare him to the fighter he is now. Even though he's past his prime now he's still better than the 22 year old version of himself

Like if you take the blinders off what makes Mayweather a better fighter than Crawford? Because of his defensive wizardry?

Crawford is a much more complete fighter who can play defense with his defense AND his offense. A much better athlete with ten times the power.

If they were to fight at their peaks i'd have a hard time seeing how Floyd would win. He'd have to resort the dirty tricks and have the judges and refs on deck.

Crawford just has too many attributes to lose a fight.

Over 40 fights and a champ, is not a pup man

I think it's weight dependent. Floyd at 135 would be hell for Bud at 135. But Bud at 147 would beat Floyd at 147. Bud just a bigger guy and his power at 147 is not properly respected. People should now be looking at what he did at 147 with the hindsight that we seen this dude at 168 hold his own with a 168 Canelo. Those PBC fighters held Bud's career back a lot. He probably would be ruling 160 right now if he coulda got the Spence fight out the way sooner.
