Wholly unlikely to ever share the ring together, cordial stars Mayweather and Crawford would have been scintillating viewing during their peaks in the squared circle against each other, however.
And having already taken on and defeated a much younger Canelo during the Mexican’s initial rise in the sport, Mayweather is the proud owner of the moniker as the first fighter to defeat the super middleweight star.

And while briefly touching on a hypothetical matchup between Mayweather and Crawford, a boxing personality is confident there is only one outcome.
“(Floyd) Mayweather wants to put his name in there [amongst talk of Canelo vs. Crawford],” Davies told Boxing King Media. “I do think Mayweather would’ve beaten Terence Crawford at welterweight.
“It would have been a fantastic fight,” Davies continued. “It’s good to see Mayweather there.”

“[The fight with] Terence (Crawford) is different,” Canelo told The Ring. “You can feel it right away.
“And you know how big — how important [the fight is] for my legacy.”
