By Dan Ambrose: Top Rank promoter Bob Arum says his fighter WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) would have a chance of beating undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs) if the two of them were to ever face each other. Mayweather recently retired from boxing last September after beating Arum’s best fighter in his stable in Manny Pacquiao in May of this year in the “Fight of the Century in Las Vegas.
Mayweather never considered fighting the 28-year-old Crawford because he’s too much of an unknown with the casual boxing fans, and he’s mainly only popular in Nebraska and with a small segment of the hardcore fans, who prefer to see pure boxing.
