    How would Crawford have fared against Pacquiao tonight?

    This was the fight people really wanted on that side of the fence.

    I think he would have stopped him inside 7 rounds. Crawford is not as durable as Bradley and they probably would have fought at 144lbs.

    Bob was smart to protect his investment (as usual).

    What say you?

    It would have been a boring UD for Pac. No KD's.

      He would have demanded more money

        Never thought Crawford could beat any version of Manny that was above 60%, Manny looked to me that he wasn't taking training very seriously and if would've asked me before the fight, I would've told you Crawford might win if they fought, but after seeing how Pacquiao looked tonight I'm back to thinking that Crawford has no business being in there with Pacquiao and that fight would be career suicide for him at the moment.

          He'd have dropped him at very least, Crawford doesn't have the chin of Bradley and has shown to be very vulnerable to speed.

          He also starts too slow which would be terrible against Pacquiao. I think he stops him mid rounds.

            Yeah okay. Pac would have killed Crawford. Last night's Bradley beats Crawford.

              Well apparently it was Team Pacquiao who turned down the fight with Crawford. I'm not exactly sure what the official reason was but there was something that turned them off to that fight.

                I dont think we have seen enough of Crawford to make that estimate , he hasnt really proved himself yet , with his power he could go boom and its goodnight or Manny gives him a boxing lesson , early days on Crawford just yet .

                  Crawford best win is a undersized and after more than ayear lay off Gamboa AND Gamboa was outboxing him. I like Crawford but MAnny is proven and Crawford is not. I understand the hype around Crawford. He is good but to say he would KO or beat Manny is wayyyy to early.

                  Hes a great prospect still....

                    Crawford leaves himself too wide open and would give plenty of opportunities for pac for knockdowns and he doesn't have bradley's iron chin. pac still got that weird punching angles.
