    That southpaw stance won't work against Pacquiao, Pacquiao's right hook is damn good against southpaws.

      I really like Crawford but I think Pac will be too much for him.

        I'd pick Manny, but it's not a sure thing...my one concern is if Crawford is able to use his reach to control the distance.

        But not surprised at all that so many people think Manny is done now because he lost to the best fighter in the world lol. Boxing fans are so dumb and fickle, it's unreal. If Manny is "done" then how did he just light up Algieri, dropping him six times? Yeah, Algieri isn't a world-beater, but he was champion and likely above the level of Crawford's last 2 or 3 opponents.

          Feed Crawford to Imam.

          If he wants to leave that chin up, best believe Imam will end his night real quick.

            Crawford has yet to face a high volume puncher like Pacquiao yet. If he can effectively utilize his reach, make Pacquiao reset, and make him pay for throwing that lazy right jab he can be a live dog.

              I'd pick Manny.

              Really would like to see Crawford against Postol.

                Probably Crawford, he has something to prove and Manny is on the way out. Those are pretty strong forces in boxing.

                Plus Manny is much more a of boxer that sits around on the outside than the aggressive guy he used to be. That aggressive version would have been real problems for Crawford but as Manny fights now I think that also plays into Crawford's hands.

                  The way that Crawford likes to leave his jaw hanging out like its all good,I see Pacquiao smacking him with a few left hands,and putting his on his ass a couple times,algieri style. The hype train is getting a bit too hot,and Pacquiao would derail it quick.

                    What exactly suggests Crawford lacks toughness?

                      Imam's chin sucks too.
