Comments Thread For: Marquez: Crawford's Style is Very Difficult For Manny Pacquiao

[Snoop Frog]

Considering Pacquiao's loyalty to Arum, I could see this fight happening more than any others. Once Crawford fight's an elite junior welter and beats him, I'd have more confidence in him giving Manny trouble.

Even this version of Manny is a HUGE step up in class for Crawford, who in my opinion is less defensively responsible than Bradley and probably doesn't take as good a punch either.

I need to see Crawford perform against Postol before I decide whether or not he would have any shot with Pacquaio.

Crawford should of been in that ring this past saturday.What better way than to leave the game on top having fought (and maybe beat) a young fresh undefeated fighter? I was kinda pissed when mayweather and pacquiao announced their last opponents.

If Manny wants one last mega-fight, he should fight Terence Crawford for the Jr. WW title! I think it would be an excellent fight, very easy to make happen, and it should've happened on Saturday, April 9, 2016! No one was fooled by Bradley beating a fat, out-of-shape, Brandon Rios. We saw the beat down by Provodnikov, and we saw him rocked by Vargas, and no one believes Bradley won the first fight. If Manny wants another big payday, he should consider fighting Terence Crawford @ 140!

I don't think the Crawford fight is a Mega fight. No one really knows of him outside true boxing fans. Id love to see the fight, but there are bigger money fights out there.

Manny by KO.

If this fight happens, Manny by KO. In case you didn't know, Manny picked Crawford over Bradley. It was Arum who realized that Crawford wasn't ready yet. He's a smart man. Manny would KO Crawford at 147lbs or 140lbs. Especially at 140lbs where he has one punch KO power. Roidquez is just hating. If Manny didn't have a problem countering Floyd, out smarting Floyd numerous times in their fight, how would he struggle with Crawford? Manny eats taller, bigger, and lengthier fighters ALIVE! Size and reach never really bothered him. I think it's because of his foot speed.

I don't think it's a given that Crawford will beat Postol. Postol has more than a chance in that fight. Don't jump the gun just yet.

I've said 5/6 times pac gets beat...he avoids TC like death...he'll fight alvarez B4 TC...

bradley is more elusive than crawford.
crawford would trade punches more than bradley.
crawford isn't as good a counterpuncher as jmm or floyd.

these 3 above are KO waiting to happen to crawford.

And you will be wrong 5/6 times. Crawford is good and I am very high on him. But I saw him befuddled with the speed of Gamboa and was getting tagged at will. If Gamboa can do that, I hate to see what Manny would do to him. Though Credit to him for adjusting and eventually getting to Gamboa but had that been Manny on the other side that night, it might have been an early night or probably too far down the scorecards to catch up.

I have seen nothing to suggest Crawford can fight the way he does successfully against Manny Pacquiao.

Pacquiao is a tried and tested fighter who is elusive due to his movement and has tasted alot of punches from various fighters,thus he can take a punch.That cannot be said of Crawford.TC can assess himself by fighting Bradley before engaging Pacman...Pacquiao will KO Crawford in late rounds.
