Terence Crawford Discusses Floyd Mayweather Similarities: The Different Fighting Styles and Their Elite Mindsets

Although Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather have different fighting styles, there are clear parallels between their elite mindsets. Although Crawford and Mayweather approach the ring differently, their disciplined lifestyles and devotion to their art demonstrate a common goal of excellence.

During his peak, Mayweather was well-known for leading a glamorous life that included many parties and extravagant spending. Still, he followed a tight regimen for his health in spite of his public demeanor. Mayweather abstained from smoking and alcohol in favor of concentrating on intense training, which included jogging six miles after being out late the night before.

When Crawford appeared on Logan Paul’s *Impaulsive* podcast, he repeated this sentiment. “I’m kind of lame; I don’t gamble, I don’t party, I don’t drink, I’ve never smoked, nothing,” the unbeaten welterweight champion said. Crawford gave Mayweather as an example when questioned about other boxers who shared his habits, stressing that despite his love of partying, Mayweather also gave up smoking and alcohol.

Their success is largely due to their shared discipline. Throughout his flawless 50-0 record and victories over multiple Hall of Famers, such as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya, Canelo Alvarez, and Miguel Cotto, Mayweather’s career ran from 1996 to 2017. His stellar record includes three lineal championships and five world crowns in various weight classes.

Mayweather never attained unchallenged status in any weight class, despite his incredible accomplishments; this is evidence of the difficulties even the best boxers encounter on their path to greatness.

Crawford’s acknowledgement of Mayweather’s methodical approach emphasizes the rigorous mental and physical preparation needed to succeed at the top levels of boxing. These fighters are prime examples of how incredible success in the sport can be fueled by elite mentality and a commitment to one’s craft.
