Crawford vs Pacquiao in play for 5th june in abu dhabi?

Good post.

I would just disagree beating manny makes him the man at 147. Spence is still the man. It would definitely increase Crawford’s profile and strengthen his case to be ranked #1 p4p.

I just think everything else Spence has done at the weight gives him the edge.

I’m hoping it leads to Spence/Crawford with the winner being undefeated and fighting a 1- loss canelo in a real super fight .

If he beats Pac then he is the man at 147, he already is in the top 2 if not number 1 P4P, he cannot be number 2 at 147 when he is the top P4P boxer and after beating Pac.

And would probably give Spence/PBC the motivation needed to want to finally sit down and actually negotiate a fight with Crawford. Otherwise honestly you guys would never see that fight if you keep saying “Spence is the man”

The funny about all of this is that people are labeling Crawford as a nobody who has not fought anyone, yet these same people are readying themselves to give Pac goat status if he should pull off the win.

Crawford has never faced an elite fighter in his entire career. Crawford has trouble with speed. Crawford has a weak chin. Crawford had trouble with all fighters he faced that had a little skill even the washed up ones.

Inactive and blown up Gamboa made him do the stanky leg. Peg legged Jose Bumavidez took rounds off Crawford until his bum leg gave out. Washed up glass jaw Amir Khan needed low blowed to stop. Eurobum Mean Machine dropped Crawford. Washed up weight drained quitter Brook damn near closed his eye before he quit in just a few rounds.

Pacquiao could definitely beat Crawford. Too bad he's 42 and been inactive for 2 years. But that's the only reason Crawford is cherry picking him, if this fight really happens.

Lmao already making excuses.
Crawford is the one to beat at ww.

crawford is a harder fight for pac than spence and if a past prime, very old, part time boxer, a full time senator and 2 year lay off pacman beat him that would be insane.

Win or lose Manny is a bad Mofo. This aint Andre Berto lol

And it can go back at you the other way around. You think Crawford is so great, P4P #1, etc...then does that not make Pacquiao greater on the ATG list, than he is now, if he beats Crawford?

I do not think this makes Pacquiao the GOAT, I do not think highly of Crawford. But just saying, you’re pointing fingers at Pac fans and/or Crawford haters for calling Pacquiao the GOAT if he beats Crawford...who you think so highly of.

I find it insane on both ends tbh. I like Pac, but I wouldn't say he's the GOAT if he beat Crawford because I don't rate highly. Nor do I rank Crawford should he beat Pac. Although this would definitely be the best win in Bud's career.

[Cadet Bonespurs]

Let me break it down here. If Crawford’s career ended today, he is not even a Hall of Famer based on resume alone.

however, his skill level is elite. That is why Manny beating him would further enhance his already ATG status. It is not based on Crawford’s work.

on the other hand, Crawford would immediately become a HOF by beating Pacquiao once, based on Pacs resume, but not on his current diminished but still top level

Holy fook please let Bud get a career defining fight finally. I hope this is legit news & I hope this legit happens.

I would be happy for Crawford if this fight happens for him. That’s the only way we would ever come to having an undisputed at 147. If this fight doesn’t happen for him then the others would never fight him, because they know their fans aren’t too bright. They would still be using excuses on why the fights that should happen at 147 aren’t happening. If he beats Manny then he becomes the man at 147.

The man? Spence is the man. The man with 2, soon to be 3 belts. And Manny carrying the PPV doesn't make Crawford a draw. You Crawford fangimps are dumb as hell. Crawford will still think he deserves 50/50 or 60/40 his way to price himself out. But, but Spence doe. Dey be duckin doe. It's errybody else's fault Crawford fights so many bums.
