# Shakur Stevenson On Terence Crawford vs Prime Mayweather: “He Doesn’t Make Mistakes”

Two-division world champion, Shakur Stevenson, has had his say on a how a fantasy fight between Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather Jr would play out, following the former’s rise to superstardom status this year.

Crawford, a stablemate of Stevenson, put on a dominant performance in the biggest fight of his career, stopping Errol Spence Jr in their long-awaited undisputed welterweight title bout.

As a result, ‘Bud’ has become widely-regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet and some fans have even suggested that [he could have been the man to prevent Floyd Mayweather from reaching his famous and fabled 50-0 record](https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/boxing/terence-crawford-vs-prime-floyd-mayweather-who-would-win-this-dream-fight/1wgnqgzilqecf1h2wsq331g1zn), had they met during their primes.

In an interview with [DAZN Boxing](https://youtu.be/kgli5regtXw?si=u38yiqSQwJl0SYt4), Stevenson admitted that he could not pick a winner between a prime Crawford and a prime Mayweather, despite his close friendship with the new ‘face of boxing’.

> “I think that’s interesting, it depends on what Floyd is in the ring. There are different versions of Floyd.

> \[Bud now versus version of Mayweather that fought Canelo\] Man, that’s a hell of a fight. It’s hard to say though because Bud is a southpaw, he can punch with both hands, it would only take one mistake from Floyd. But, Floyd is the king of not making mistakes, so it’s hard to say, I don’t feel like I could sit down here and tell you a real answer.”

Although he will not get the chance to face Mayweather, Crawford seems intent on taking his legacy in the sport one step further, announcing his [intention to jump three weight-classes up to 168lbs](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/canelo-crawford-three-weight-history/) and face the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo, in a bid to become a three-division undisputed champion.
