Who had the better career at Welterweight: Pacquiao or Crawford?

The problem with this forum is that there's too many IDIOTS who blindly argue their case without looking at the facts or information in context.
In summary, Crawford is an ELITE fighter (and arguably p4p #1). However, his CV at both Welterweight and overall PALES in comparison to Pacquiao's who's arguably a top 5-10 ATG.
Mayweather is also a tremendous fighter and if someone wanted to argue that he's better than Pacquiao then I'd understand. Both are ATGs and it's a matter of opinion as to who's the superior fighter.
However, I'll always favour Pacquiao simply because he's the much smaller man (who started his career 22lbs LIGHTER than Floyd) and went on to conquer MORE weight classes (8 vs. 5) for LONGER (4 decades vs. 3).

Ok he is. The delay in accepting the cutoff made him
look guilty of PED use. The asking to take Toradol.
Most importantly, the back acne that you all said made JMM guilty. Manny had that too.
Looks guilty when using the same standard you guys use for Manny’s opponents.Comment

Spence hasn’t fought since Crawford loss, July 29, 2023. As of today it’s been 21 months since then.
Keith lost to Manny July 20, 2019. He fought again Feb 20, 2022. That is over 30 months after.
Holding them to the same standard you and Hugh Grant stated, the Thurman win can’t be that good since he didn’t do anything after for a longer period than Spence hasn’t done anything.
Spence should be allowed the same 30 months as you give Keith.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 05-02-2025, 11:08 AM.Comment

If Crawford wins he will unified champion in his 4th division, going up 2 weight classes, beating a top 7 p4p boxer.
Yet another accomplishment Manny wouldn’t have. Yet another opponent Manny didn’t fight.Comment

Look, you are saying Spence is no5 pfp? A loss to Bud shouldnt change that. Spence should be able to knock out pfp no5 type performances now then, if he really was a pfp no5. But we know Spence was never no5 pfp.
Thurman had all the advantages over Pac, Thurman hasnt lose since fighting Pac.Last edited by hugh grant; 05-02-2025, 11:37 AM.Comment

He was when Bud beat him is what I posted. Yes a loss does impact that. Same as Manny dropped p4p after losing to Floyd.

Of course he was a top p4p boxer. He just lost to a higher ranked one, again like Manny did to Floyd.
What top 5 p4p opponent did Manny ko at ww?
Which is why Manny ducked him imo to fight Thurman.
Thurman fought Mario Barrios and Brock Jarvis since he lost to Manny. He shouldn’t lose to either of these bums.
I forgot Thurman beat Barrios. No wonder Manny wants to fight him.
lol
