Shane Mosley says he thinks that Terenka Crawford is a “better versatile warrior” than the main version of Floyd Mayweather Jr. He claims that Crawford’s “longer shoulders” would give him an advantage against Floyd.
Forgetting the main speed of Mayweather
Mayweather would be challenging to hit Crawford if he fought him when Floyd fought in the Super Feather weight in 1997–2000. It was then called “Pretty Boy” and was very challenging to hit, and lightning quickly.
Argument range and size
“I would say Crawford is better. He is a better versatile warrior. Mayweather is really good. You can’t knock him down, but I think Crawford would have an advantage because Fight Hub tvArguing that Terenka Crawford is a better warrior than Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mosley did not notice how slower Crawford was compared to Mayweather, when he was at its best, 24 years ago in 2021. The speed of “Pretty Boy” would be too high for the leisurely, methodical Crawford, which had his hands full of fighting in Laworska with smaller warriors, such as Browdis, Prescott, Prescott, Ricky Burns and Yuriorkis Gamboa.
“He would stop him at a distance. It would be challenging to oppose. [Crawford] She is one of the goats and could fight in every age. Crawford is more challenging and would have a better time in different eras in the era of an vintage school because he was an vintage -school warrior, “said Mosley.
Weight hydration factor
Recently, we learned about Crawford that he is a warrior who fought below his natural weight and should have been fighting at the age of 160 and 168. If Crawford was growing up to 170 or 180. For fighting the main Floyd Mayweather Jr., it would be challenging for the “Pretty Boy” version from the era of 2001.
If there is a rehydration clause to prevent Crawford to prevent absurd numbers, in my opinion the Mayweather version from 2001 would be too swift and precise with its precise shots. Mosley can forget how quickly Floyd was when he was in great shape, fighting in a super feather weight and delicate. He was a different animal and would probably carve a much slower, low -start Crawford.
I do not agree with Mosley’s claim that Crawford would be doing better in the era of “vintage school” than Mayweather. Crawford would surpass the main fighters in the vintage school. Era, and in my opinion he would not have the same career.
When Crawford fought at the age of 147, he never fought elite fighters. Errol Spence was a shell of his former self, when Crawford beat him on July 29, 2023. Errol did not look like a warrior at the elite level since the catastrophe of the car in 2019. At that time, 34-year-old Shawn Porter was at the end of his career, when Crawford knocked him out in November 10, 2021. Indeed, the porter retired soon after the fight.
Comparison of “Hitman” Hearns
Crawford’s low output and his tendency to just want to sit down, the fight against profitability would put him on mercy with the main versions Sugar Ray LeonardMayweather and Thomas “Hitman” Hearns If he could be transported for time to these eras when they were at their best physical edition.
I believe that the “Hitman” version of Hearns, who blurred Cuevas Pipino in two rounds on August 2, 1980, would be too powerful and longer for Crawford if they fought with Prime for Prime.
As good as Crawford, he was in a welterweight. Everything he would do is one good shot from Hearns and Crawford would seriously. When he was hurt, Hearns would go to the finish and destroy Crawford, just like against Cuevas and Pablo Baez.

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.
The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.
That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.
Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.
Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.
Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.
Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.
“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.
“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”
Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
