Trainer and former fighter Jeff Mayweather, who is the uncle of retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr., is very confident that WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19KOs) would defeat superstar Manny Pacquiao.

Crawford is a frontrunner to face Pacquiao on April 9th. The upcoming fight is being billed as the final bout of Pacquiao's pro career.

I hope PAC fight Crawford. A great fight! Let the best fighter win!

We have all seen how Crawford reacts when he gets touched. Wild, right into Mannys hands.


Let him pick a firefight with Pac.



Going to end bad for Bud.

If PAC doesn't get injured again he will destroy Crawford in battle for the fastest fighter.

[Beercules]

Let Pacquiao hit Crawford a few times and he will lose it.

He will play into Pacs hands.

[ThePunchingBag]

Good fight, make it ASAP.

Floyd Mayweather Jr did not win over Pac, Manny was robbed by NSAC.

Unlike Floyd, who fought Judah, Ortiz, and Guererro, Manny has not fought many southpaws, and none at the 144-147 range. I think either Manny gets a KO, or he loses by UD. I doubt Manny takes the risk! It'll be Bradley, but beware:

Frank Lotierzo:

If you break the styles down, Roach is going to advise Manny to be aggressive and to let his hands go, and that's great because he knows Bradley and Atlas don't want to get into a firefight. The problem is Manny is no longer the supernova he once was and needs to be set with basically a stationary opponent in front of him in order to get off good. He was never great at cutting off the ring and he’ll surely need to do that against Bradley. Atlas knows this and will convey to Bradley that as long as he keeps jabbing and turning, Pacquiao will forever be playing catch up. And you better believe Timothy will follow Atlas's instructions to the letter because he'll entrust his faith in whatever Atlas tells him and that will make him a better fighter and in his mind lead him to being victorious.

In the last three or four years, it's no secret that the current version of Pacquiao is stymied by foot speed and lateral movement. Bradley has quick hands and feet and when he cuts loose he is effective, as long as he doesn't foolishly attempt to stand there and trade with Pacquiao. If Bradley fights his fight and follows the fight plan that Atlas constructs, he'll give Pacquiao a very rough night and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he won by decision.

Actually, as of this writing I would bet on Bradley if I got 2-1 odds. I've been saying for years Manny is vulnerable to movement and speed, something Mayweather showed the world. No, Bradley isn't Mayweather but I have my doubts as to whether Pacquiao will be even as good against Bradley as he was against Mayweather 11 months earlier.

I normally agree with Jeff on a lot of things but in this case he's definitley seeing something that I don't see, I'd have Pacquiao as a clear favorite to beat Crawford in an exciting competitive fight.

However I wouldn't put my money on that because there's no doubt in my mind that no matter how the actual fight plays out, if it goes the distance Arum will make sure Crawford gets the decision to pass that torch to his new superstar, and I also have no doubt that there will be a rematch.

I've never seen him react like that. Don't know who u were watchin. I've always seen him stay composed and stick to his boxing. Then gradually up the aggression picking his opponent apart
