Prime pacquiao vs Crawford

youre comparing an all time great to someone whos not fought one world class fighter and whos best win just lost to a novice. he couldnt lace mayweather or pacquiaos boots. some of you lot are gonna look awful stupid if this 147 run doesnt go to plan, talking about him like hes some legend already smh.... I gotta agree with this, the quality of opponents pales in comparison :beerchug:

Prime Pac was too much animal for most. He would speed and power his way through most. It wasn't just entirely reckless. When he used a gameplan, it was a beauty to watch. He would throw punches from odd angles. Make the opponent pay for using their favorite punch. It was a boxing clinic from a highly aggressive offensive force. Hard to challenge Manny in his prime when it came to exchanges. Not too many could stand their ground. Actually Marquez is probably the only one that was able to.

In their prime who would win? In my honest onpinion, Crawford is a harder opponent for pacquiao then mayweather. I think prime pacquaio would destroy Floyd. To busy and Floyd thinks defense first like he did with maidana and pacquaio would be all over him. But Crawford is different, Crawford is a better version of Marquez. With power and ability to counter moving back wards and versatility of switching stance, he will be very hard opponent for pacquaio. Like Marquez, Crawford , once he gets hit, he’s a killer. Pacquiao that destroyed Cotto Would smash Crawford into Lala land within 6 rounds. Even now, a past prime shell of himself may UD Crawford.

You have to give an ATG like Pac the nod here just out of respect, but Crawford has the style and skills to beat even prime Pac. It would be one hell of a fight, either way.

Floyd wasn't prime against Maidana

Bud. Pac has no defense and would get countered and jabbed up by Bud. The tentativeness you saw against Mayweather offensively would be the same against Bud. Prime Pac wasn't tentative at all, he was a whirling dynamo that threw punches from all angles and fought fearless. That is who Bud would be facing, not the version of Pac who faced Mayweather. Peace.

At his prime, I don't think Crawford could beat Pacquiao. Prime vs prime.

Prime Pacquaio based on the Yuri fight. That said...i don't feel Crawford is yet in his prime so maybe I'll change my opinion depending on how Crawford performs these next few years. I'd hate to see current Pacman vs Crawford.... It would be ugly.

Pac without a doubt . Crawford's had fights against way lesser caliber opponents where he looks beatable . Plus . Who's Crawford fought ??? Agree Crawford's best opponent was victor postol

to soon to say. lets see how Crawford's career progresses fighting guys his own size.

Manny’s prime is long gone. Bud’s is not here yet. Hard to judge, but I give Manny the nod, he’s simply fought a lot better guys than Crawford has. I think if Crawford as a potential All time great who has the physical skills of Zab Juda and the boxing skills of Juan Manual Marquez. He’s got a frightening skill set. But Manny has proven more against other great boxers.

Pac without a doubt . Crawford's had fights against way lesser caliber opponents where he looks beatable . Plus . Who's Crawford fought ??? The Pacman was KOed a couple of times by people "way lesser caliber" than Crawford. Crawford would kill this version of Pac, and I'd pick him to beat Pac in his prime, too, in a tougher fight.

There's obviously a size difference there, but I'd be picking Manny for sure.

I have to see first crawford fight an opponent who is half pacquiao caliber.

At 140? The night Pac KO'd Hatton would have had a really good chance of knocking out Bud.

I'd have to go with Crawford if it was prime for prime. Main reason is that Pac's best is not at welterweight. Another is that I think Crawford has the talent to get better so we haven't seen his at his best yet.

I really hope Pacquiao says yes to this fight.
