    Crawford had the skill level that Manny just doesn’t.

    I would expect the same kind of 10-2 win Floyd had against Manny.

    Manny is an ATG but he is below Floyd, Roy and Crawford and possibly Usyk.
    Lol

    On any given night Manny could beat Floyd Crawford Pernell etc

    Floyd and Crawford proved they could beat any fighter as long as they were far more handicapped

      Crawford isn’t prime himself. However, one couldn’t tell by his performance on Saturday night.

      He looked tremendously fast and overall superb. For my money, It was the best he’s ever looked.

      His speed was just astounding.

        Manny Pacquiao isn’t overrated but I agree that his winning titles in eight different weight divisions are bullshit!

        Bud is probably still a little sore about Pac ducking him when they both fought at TopRank.

        He never got his big break or opportunity to fight him.

          Pacs resume is overall better than buds. Once bud fights benavides then maybe bud can talk.

            It's always unfortunate that the accomplishments of great fighters gets deminished by fighters that follow. It does spurn on good conversation. Crawford is the it guy right now. In 5 years I bet the next it guy at the lower weights will be talking about Crawford's resume, fighting what looked to be a vulnerable Spence who went on to not fight for a few years after, beating a faded Canelo, etc.

            As far as I am concerned, these guys are fighting the fights. They win, they accomplish and you cannot actually take that away from them. I woke up this morning planning to exercise. Instead I took a dump and came on here to comment on the guys actually accomplishing something. lol. I suspect many who dimish these athletes accomplishments have similar average civlian stories to mine.

                  Prime pac and floyd would have beat Crawford

                  I'm not saying it would have been easy for them but those 2 fought in such a better era with better competition and at one point just sliced through all of them

                  I'm not hating on Bud but his 2 best wins were against a guy with brain damage and a shot nelo.

                  Now would Crawford have beaten Errol and Nelo prime for prime? Yea i think he would have because their style is perfect for him its just he was even more dominant against those versions I mentioned before because they were damaged goods

                  I trust my eyes and what I saw from Pac and Floyd was a different level

                    Against a fighter who is what 60+ fights in?
