I'll go with 2009 Manny. Dat speed and power
I really don’t care but that sweetheart dancing in your avi is HOT! She’s giving this old man impure thoughts. Thanks.......
What JMM did to Pac in VI, Bud would do. Only without taking the punishment JMM did.
Pac's best win at WW was Thurman and that flash knockdown helped him.
I deleted my comment and am going to change my stance.
Manny struggles with crafty counter punchers. If Bud survives the early rounds, he'd probably take over the 2nd half of the fight.
The way Gamboa's speed troubled him early is concerning however.
Thats a fair point, Manny would be dangerous early.
I'd side with Manny. Only reason is because Terrance has a tendency to get into a dog fight because he's stubborn. If Terrance stays calm and looks for a counter? Then I could see Crawford catching Manny leaning, or countering him all night
But, I suspect that Manny will come in a way that will make Crawford stubborn enough to engage with him. And, if that's the case, then Manny is fast and active enough to light Crawford up. You have to be patient with Manny and set up counters, which Crawford has the skill to do. But will he do it? I'm not confident
Good hypothetical matchup though

Manny destroys Bud. Watch the early rounds of the Gamboa fight, but imagine it's Manny.
Thats like saying watch a jab put Manny down and see him holding Hussain like a leech, do you think these are the versions that would meet?
Did you not see how crappy Crawford looked he looked like straight garbage against a part time fighter he was expected to blow out. Lol
He did blow him out as soon as he opened up, that's why fights are 12 rounds, I just think TC has too many physical advantages for Manny and Mannys come forward style is there to be timed, Id say TC punches a lot harder and is a lot more physical than Marquez, I see the same deal happening with Manny walking into something big, its not easy to be physically stronger than Porter and TC was.

What top level WW has Pac ''destroyed'' ?
Crawford vs Manny at 147
Shawn is an accurate version of Horn.
No version of Horn should have lasted that long.
No way Pac beats up Shawn. WW Pac didn't have that power.
Imho, Pac's prime was not at WW.
Pac rag dolled Porter in sparring. You’re a dumb@ss.
Horn fouled and robbed old Pacquiao. Prime Pacquiao is a whole different animal. Pacquiao would beat Shawn up and would've stopped Horn in his prime.

Crawford's chin is weak along with his inside game. Crawford also can't deal with speed. Pacquiao would beat the cherries out of that cherry picking hype job. Gamboa put him on queer street. The Lithuanian turnip farmer dropped him. Porter was working him over. Prime Pacquiao is all wrong for Crawford.
Would Shawn do better or worse than Horn ?

Pac would look like crap vs Porter too.
Shawn has an ugly style.
Shawn would do much better than Horn did.
