    Styles make fights and Manny's style was explosion and quick hands, these go with age, these are facts. Manny could land a bunch of kd punches but not one of them had the power to ko algieri. Manny couldnt ko rios but Bradley could? so by your justifications and reasoning, Bradley is more powerful than Manny: Styles Make Fights

      Style makes fight, thats why Crawford have little chance of beating Manny as compare to Khan. Crawford has never been with anyone close to Manny. So in your own words, style makes fight. No idea where your pulling the "my" justifications and reasoning from, but carry on with that.

        I am hoping Crawford gets the shot. I think it's high risk but finally Bob will want him to take a fight he probably shouldn't. The Top Rank passing of the torch......

        Crawford turns southpaw and Pac will have a hard time finding a target with his left hand. Could be quite easy for Crawford especially if Manny fights the way he did the last time out. A Crawford KO will send him to permanent retirement......

        Then with he and Floyd both gone, the entire boxing world can move on, save for the Pac die-hards..... But without the Pac they'll eventually go away anyway.

        Good riddance. Plenty of fighters to talk about..... They had their run. Much more interested in the WW contenders that have been waiting for either of them to go back to fighting to win against each other instead of fighting not to lose lower tiered fighters..... Not to mention just about every other weight class loaded with talent...... Wlad can exit now too!! Let's see AJ v Wilder, winner gets Fury......

          Crawford is the real deal.

          I hope Manny is motivated and prepared.

          Personally I just don't believe Manny's heart is in boxing these days.

            Manny's style is based off of quick hands and explosive movements, he has neither left in his tank.

              On paper, this is a mismatch. Crawford is too small and too inexperienced at this level to beat an ATG, even an aged one, in Pacquiao. But there is something to be said regarding the hunger of a fighter who hasn't tasted the fame and fortune Pacquiao has enjoyed. And that kind of hunger can turn an old man into an ancient one in the ring quick. We'll see.

                Manny doesnt have quick hands anymore? Whatttt?? First u said, Manny is old and washed up. I brought up the fight against Algieri that if Manny is old and washed up how was he able to pitch a shut out against Algieri when Khan struggle. U came back and said style makes fight. So if Manny is old how was he able to shut Chris out? Manny can still do all that, just not for all 3 minutes, but he doesnt have too against Crawford

                  Hunger can only get u so far. If the other man is a step above u, u can be hungry as a mofo and it still wouldnt help u.

                    If I look through your post history am I going to see you laughing at Pac-fans who said he was far from his best on May 2nd? I mean, here you are saying that Pac had been going downhill for years prior to the big fight.

                    Anyway Pac/Crawford is a good fight on paper that will ultimately result in Pac abusing the kid for 12 rounds. Believe that.

                      Yeah I agree but that means that other man would have to be still motivated. Don't get me wrong, I like Pacquiao in the bout. But I'm a bit intrigued even though I don't think Crawford deserves the shot and I'm unimpressed by his resume.
