Ring Champs with Ak & Barak

Crawford vs Mayweather: Who Would Win at 38 & Why Resume Isn’t Everything

June 26, 2026·34 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

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 Intro0:48 Setting the Stage1:53 Framing the GOAT Debate2:51 Floyd’s Close Fights4:50 Ad Break5:45 The Age Argument7:55 Floyd’s Resume Case9:24 38-Year-Old Floyd vs. Pacquiao11:48 38-Year-Old Bud vs. Canelo13:34 Resume vs. Dominance15:07 Bud’s Blacklisted Prime Years15:50 Does Resume Trump Everything?16:54 The Fantasy Fight at 3818:03 Can Floyd’s Defense Stop Bud?21:24 What About 29-Year-Old Floyd?28:47 Could Bud Have Done More?30:50 The Perfect Retirement32:07 Names vs. Accolades34:17 OutroSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
