Sometimes, Mayweather doesn’t have to do anything to get his name brought back up in conversations. Sometimes his greatness speaks for itself, which was the case in the aftermath of Terence Crawford’s unanimous decision victory over Canelo Alvarez on September 13. <\/p>\n
When speaking in his post-fight press conference, Canelo (who lost to Crawford and Mayweather said, “I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather.” <\/p>\n
This has sparked debates about whether Mayweather or Crawford has had the better career, or which would win if they fought in their respective primes. <\/p>\n

At one point in the discussion, Mayweather was asked his thoughts on that iconic Canelo vs Crawford Netflix fight. <\/p>\n “It’s good for boxing. It was exciting, the best man won,” Mayweather said of his reaction to Canelo fighting Crawford. <\/p>\n When asked whether Canelo was “washed up” at 35 years old, Mayweather added, “Oh, I don’t know.

I’m not really sure.” <\/p>\n MORE: Canelo Alvarez New WBC Ranking Sparks Terence Crawford Rematch Questions<\/a><\/p>\n Then Mayweather was asked whether he would have interest in seeing a rematch between Canelo and Crawford, or if he thought it would just go the same way as the first bout.<\/p>\n “I don’t know. It’s up to those two guys. If they want to do a rematch, do a rematch. If not, keep it moving,” he replied. <\/p>\n “I’m pretty sure I would watch it, if they did [the rematch]. I’m pretty sure I would,” Mayweather added. <\/p>\n It will be fascinating to see whether a rematch ends up being the next move for Canelo and Crawford.
