      Crawford admits Pacquiao is a legend, but credits much of his success to his avoidance of random blood testing. Says he’s not on his list of greatest boxers.

      Yet, Crawford praises RJJ as his favorite despite the fact that RJJ actually popped dirty.

      Does Crawford have something in particular against Pacman? Seems everytime Pacquiao’s name is mentioned, Crawford’s demeanor changes.
      Speaking of blood testing, a 38 year old just went from being the smaller man at 154 to being the same size as his opponent at 168 without losing speed or stamina.

          The discussion is not about who has the better jab, defense, or power and so forth. You stated that no actual boxers think that Manny is the best. I proved you wrong and now you are making up a list as to why you feel he's not the best. Like I said if Manny doesn't have any of that then does Floyd just have a weak resume or just a low standard for him to name Manny as the best he's faced?

          manny is a fans fighter in the truest sense of the term

          the civilian’s boxer

          the price manny paid he won’t ever be a boxer’s boxer

          his name isn’t ever mentioned for best at anything when fighters are playing the create your perfect boxer game in interviews

                Pacman is a household name. The most well liked and respected boxer of our generation.

                It’s ridiculous to think he needed to prove himself vs Crawford. At the end of the day, who cares if Crawford didnt like Pacquiao. There’s so much of that in boxing.

                      Because like most Americans he's salty that an outsider got so much attention.
