I think he takes Spence easy but Crawford’s style will be difficult for him. Manny’s been fighting inthe wrong division for what, 10 years? He should’ve stayed in 140 be an be invincible but 147 has been where the moneyis
Spence and Crawford aren’t even as big as Clottey and Margarito, and no bigger than Horn and Vargas. People should realize length doesn’t equal size. Spence isn’t coming into the ring gigantic like Chavez Jr, he’s just long. And Pacquiao is stockier than Mikey Garcia. Bloody noobs.
Crawford would always give Pacquiao a fight, Spence gets beaten easily and likely stopped vs a prime Pacquiao.
Spence and Crawford are no Margarito Clottey or Vargas
they are great fighters and next hall of famers
Spence and Crawford would refuse a CW that means Manny would not have fought them if they were prime and in top winning form, Manny likes to pick wounded soldiers and then drain them for good measure to make sure.
Manny doesnt stop any WW without a CW so I dont know why you make such stupid comments.Catchweight at what weight? They’re not huge guys although Spence will eventually move up, and Crawford fought at 135 140. Dumb argument.
Crawford and Spence are too big for him

Pac never fought anyone close to that level at welter
he blatantly ducked Mosley TWICE, when Shane was ranked #1
he blatantly ducked Martinez at 150..... Spence is just as big, and just as good as 150lb Martinez..... probably better
Crawford would be extremely difficult for Pac, both then and now..... which is why he has repeatedly refused that fight according to Bob Arum
Pac has problems with moving/thinking/skilled fighters..... look at the problems he had with Marquez
Crawford is much bigger than Marquez, much more athletic, just as fast, just as strong..... Marquez edges Crawford in counter-punching, combination-punching, textbook technique, and experience..... but does anyone really think that Marquez could beat the HIGHLY-skilled Crawford?
those fights would have to happen in the ring, not on paper
it sounds real easy the way you guys say it..... but they would both be extremely difficult fights
this " prime " version of Pacquiao.....
are you talking about the.....
leap through THREE divisions in 9 months... suddenly start throwing 1200+ punches... fresh-as-a-daisy-looking... test-refusing Pacquiao?
..... or do you mean the VADA Pacquiao, who throws the usual 500-odd punches and looks tired at the end of a fight, Pacquiao?
and YEP, that counts
Your just blatant hater. You need to be more subtle to have any credibility. But even being subtle doesn’t guarantee to be taken serious. Some floyd fans say I’m a pac fan but......that but alone is enough to be considered a pac hater.
PAC destroys spence and Crawford. He could beat spence on Monday. Give him a days rest or two and I’m sure he’d beat Crawford on the wednesday
i think he stops Spence,easier fight for him then Crawford,Crawford has good foot work to circle around the ring, better then Spence,but Prime Pacman is also too much for hum
Spence is too big, too strong and too skilled for him stop. If you recall Cotto had to be waved off by the referee. Pac was unable to put away a wounded Cotto who wanted to survive. And that was Pac at his very best against a smaller WW. Crawford doesn't have the kind of pop at 147 that he had at the lower weights and he likes to trade and get his man out when he's dominant, that would be his downfall against prime Pacquiao
I think Spence didn’t put Mikey away because he wanted to get the ring experience and didn’t fear any Mikey was offering. That’s generally why early KOs happen - the guy with the power doesn’t feel like getting punched on for 20 minutes, so he gets nailed a few good times and then says, f this, puttin him to bed. It’s like frustration, like launching a boat......there are times when it’s more intelligent to untie a rope in times of crisis, some sailors will just cut the rope out of frustration.
Yeah it looked like he wanted to prove a point that he can outbox another p4p fighter for 12 rounds and also it appeared Mikey came to survive not fight. That said, Spence was unable to put a dent into the smaller fighter coming up in weight. There never was a point in the fight where it looked like it would be stopped. Prime Pac was several leagues above Mikey. It would look like the Margarito fight. Pac would be in and out of range exploding combos before getting out. He would get hit no doubt but not frequently enough to be hurt too badly and would win on activity. 8-4 UD.

I'm Talking about 1200 punches Pacquiao,he ain't the only fighter that throws that many punches and i don't want to get in a PEd discussion here, let's leave that for another time.
I agree Crawford is very technical and looks the party very good, does everything wel,my problem or i will make a point that he might be able to be that good or not against Pacquiao,
Fighters Like Marquez and Mayweather skills were tested at elite or better competition Crawford has ever faced,so i can't say when he faces an elite elite fighter he will looks at good, a good fighter can give him troubles,Gamboa had very good moments,he has been hit,he has good defence but not like mayweather etc, you see why i am reserved, but i understand the point that your making
Agreed that was peak Pacman. It was telling how Spence was unable to put away Mikey, Pac wins a UD. And Crawford gets stopped if he stands and trades

Prime Pacquiao was something else and constantly defied the odds so I'm about as uncertain as I can possibly be about this. Spence and Crawford are both very good so it'll be hard to determine. Spence I reckon would have been worse off being the less skilled man as that would count for a lot against prime Pac.
There's a reason that a legend, Floyd Mayweather, Jr., was quoted as saying "health first," ducked Pacquiao for years, and started accusing Pacquiao of PED use. Then he settles when he got sued.
There is a reason why Manny fans have low intelligence.
