Terence Crawford gets compared to ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd

It is very difficult to achieve what Mayweather Jr. had in his career. The man has a legacy that is unmatched to anyone else’s but when he says that he sees a lot of himself in a fighter, it is indeed a big deal. In a video that has resurfaced on the internet, Pretty Boy can be seen talking about Bud. The veteran said, “Terence Crawford is a hell of a fighter. Do I think he gonna be in the Hall of Fame? Absolutely.” 

He compared the fighter to his younger self. ‘Money’ Mayweather said, “We are not talking about Money Mayweather, We are talking about Pretty Boy Mayweather. We are talking about a 90% knockout ratio. We are talking fast hands, fast feet, and combination. I mean, a complete fighter.”
