    There doesn't seem to be many fighters around who can touch Manny or Floyd to be honest. Even at their advanced age. Tim Bradley is an excellent fighter with balls of steel and Manny had taken his heart away by the late rounds last night.

      Pac would win based on experience. Just listen to Bradley, he credits how PAC used his experience to beat him.

      Crawford has the tools but the lack of experience will be the reason why he'd lose to PAC. And the fact, he has no experience at 147.

        Crawford would get knocked out within the first five rounds after getting KD three or four times. However, if he were to survive that, then he mostly likely starts dropping Manny as well and possibly knocks Manny out.

        I give Manny the advantage in the early rounds and Crawford as the fight goes on, of course, if Crawford makes it that far.

        I don't think Crawford can handle a straight left like the one Floyd took in the fourth round. I'm still amazed he didn't even get KD by that counter. 99 percent of welterweights would have been either KD or KO with that punch, Manny has insane punching power, that, and his speed and agility is also why I think he should fight Canelo.

        I don't see Canelo landing often enough on a fast and agile guy like Manny and that insane punching power is enough to back Canelo up. If Floyd could back him up, then Manny destroys him or at the very least keeps him honest, far more than Cotto could.

        He's small yes, but that is only a disadvantage if you let it be, because I feel like both Manny and Floyd have used their small size to their advantage against bigger opponents.

        Anyway yeah, Crawford would lose man.

          Crawford seems like he's going to be great and I like him a lot, but he hasn't fought anyone that near the level of Tim Bradley, let alone Manny Pacquiao. I don't understand how there are people (and quite a few people, at that) that favor Terence Crawford

            It would be a fire fight with Pac coming out on top.

              I honestly don't know how much of a fire fight it would be. Crawford would have to time Pac first and not many people are able to do that

                  Chaves fight was a robbery... Won the Marquez fight.... Won the Vargas fight.... Ruslan oh well, made mistakes and paid for it.... still won.

                  Check his resume and u will see whats so good abt him...

                  So tell me, what makes TC so great? Whats his best win?

                  Im not saying Bradley is a ATG, but hes a very good fighter. TC is just unproven

                    Now let's talk TCs resume. You can't win. Don't even try it.

                      I haven't seen much of Crawford but from accounts of other boxers in sparring, he's the real deal.

                      However Pac is proven.
