Crawford vs. Mayweather: Arum Picks the Winner

Top Rank founder Bob Arum has weighed in on a hypothetical dream fight between two of his former fighters — Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather Jr. — and made it clear who he believes would win.

"Crawford. Because he’s a unique fighter. His ability to switch stances — opponents aren’t used to that, they don’t prepare for that.

I just think he’s a very unique talent. Our relationship has nothing to do with his abilities as a fighter… As a fighter, he’s unique, an outstanding guy," said Arum.

Mayweather famously bought out his contract from Arum and never worked with a promoter again. Crawford ended his relationship with Top Rank in 2022.
