About this episode

Ak and Barak engage in a heated debate over whether Terence Crawford is better than Floyd Mayweather, analyzing their careers and hypothetical matchups.

Ak and Barak don’t agree on much, and they really don’t agree on this one. In a real-time, unscripted debate, the self-proclaimed biggest Floyd Mayweather fan alive gets pushed to answer the question boxing won’t stop arguing about: is Terence “Bud” Crawford actually better than Floyd Mayweather? They break down the resume case for Floyd (the $300M Showtime run, the Pacquiao win, the undefeated record) against the eye-test case for Bud (the Canelo demolition three weight classes up, the switch-hitting power, the dominance at 38 that mirrors his prime). They run the fantasy fight at 38, at 29, and dig into who Floyd really beat versus who Bud was blacklisted from fighting. By the end, even Floyd’s #1 fan lands somewhere he’s never said on camera before. 0:00 Intro 0:48 Setting the Stage 1:53 Framing the GOAT Debate 2:51 Floyd’s Close Fights 4:50 Ad Break 5:45 The Age Argument 7:55 Floyd’s Resume Case 9:24 38-Year-Old Floyd vs. Pacquiao 11:48 38-Year-Old Bud vs. Canelo 13:34 Resume vs. Dominance 15:07 Bud’s Blacklisted Prime Years 15:50 Does Resume Trump Everything? 16:54 The Fantasy Fight at 38 18:03 Can Floyd’s…
