Crawford is a Harder Fight for Manny than Spence

[blowblow]

Agreed, Manny is clearly cherry picking against a broken man from a horrific car accident and someone who is very slow and mediocre.

He ducked Crawford!!!!!

crawford the bum terence "bum" crawford is more appropriate nickame..

Granted, there both great fights, but I think Crawford presents a greater challenge to Manny than Spence. Spence has size, overall good fundamentals, good cardio, and pressure but he doesn't seem as "gifted" or talented as Crawford. Neither has better speed than Manny but Crawfords unique style stands a better chance of catching Manny. Spence is too straight up and down... He is big and walks down his opponents, but doing that with Manny is a dangerous strategy... I can see him getting lit up by combinations as he tries to pressure Manny then reverting back to boxing from a distance and using his jab.... No one has really bullied Manny like that... Unless you catch Manny with something huge at the absolute perfect time (ala Marquez) you're not going to knock him out...

Crawford has better timing and could potentially catch Manny with something... Crawford also has a mean streak in him that really comes out when the other fighters starts to get too aggressive...

I think Crawford-Pacquiao is a WAR... whereas Spence-Pacquiao is more of a boxing chessmatch with moments of actions here and there... I do not think Spence will maintain consistence pressure throughout twelve rounds and try to get Manny out of there.... He will be content to try to win on points.

I agree and think that is why he choose Spence. Spence is a beast in that ring but he has shown that he can get hit.

Well duh.... But Spence is A more physically damaging fight

Disagree. Spence is just going to be hitting a lot of gloves and try to make Pacquiao use all his energy into defending if Pacquiao doesn’t have him timid and second guessing. Spence doesn’t do a lot of damage because doesn’t land much of anything clean, just like we saw vs Mikey and Danny Garcia. Pacquiao is no Porter who is a terrible defender, so turning into overhands all night is unlikely.

Crawford would hurt Pacquiao. Pacquiao could be winning and on the turn of the dime get caught and then would come some real damage.

Hell. The most damage Porter took in that fight was to the balls. So maybe if Spence targets Pacquiao’s balls.

I agree. Bud is more of a counter puncher who likes to move. While on the other hand, Spence is more static and won't be hard for Pac to find.

It depends on Spence gameplan...... If he chooses to fight like he did vs Brook it's gonna be damaging. Which I feel will happen..

Mikey and Danny never had a chance so Spence didn't have to do much... But Manny, Porter, Brook comes to fight and have too much heart.

And yes Crawford will hurt Pac too, but I think he would finish Pac quicker

You all missing the big picture here.

this old diminished version of manny can be had with pressure

Horn who isn’t half the fighter Thurman is won up to 7 rounds with pressure

Keith boxed and got beat up anyways

Horn fought a younger manny too

[buddyr]

yes it is a harder fight Terrence is more fluid, adaptable and has better defense. Spence is a stalker who fights behind power jab. Straight up and down and Spence likes to fight inside too. Pac can hit him easier and is faster than Spence. Spence is bigger than Crawford . Spence is esseontially a 154 pounder sweating down.

This is what I was gonna say. Spence isn’t the mover Crawford is.
