    What makes everybody think that Crawford can beat Pacquiao

    Pacman is no Postol or Gamboa. Pacquiao is much stronger and more skilled than both little Gamboa was giving Crawford some trouble so imagine what even this Pacquiao will do. So what gives with all the, "Crawford destroys Pacquiao."

    Too well rounded and he figured everybody out. It would probably be line May-Pac 2. I don't really think too many could beat Crawford at 147 if he could make that weight comfortably.

      Still, Manny has experience and has beaten better fighters than Crawford.

        Crawford is younger and hungrier, faster, and sharper at this point in pacs career. No saying if PAC loses but he would be in for a hard fight.

          Pacquiao is no longer the murderous puncher he was before Floyd started asking for testing, and Pacquiao's style has always had clear problems with fighters who come into the fight ready to box. You add that Crawford brings the switch-hitting to the fight, and there'd simply be too many dimensions for an already diminished Manny Pacquiao to figure out.

            cant?, of course he can, a lot stranger things have happened in boxing.

            face it hes the most interesting match up and has the BEST chance of beating pac.

            but I guess facing some australian uber driver nobody has ever heard of is a better match up. I dont get why anyone would want pac to face a no hoper instead of someone who can challenge him

              He looked awful versus Vargas. He needs to call it a day.

                  Crawford is excellent and Pacman is no Pacman anymore. He looked like schit vs Vargas. Where was the fancy footwork and combos? He can still beat decent fighters but not P4P quality fighters like Crawford.

                    Pacquiao would rather fight Horn for less than $5 mil on regular cable than make $10 mil+ fighting Crawford on PPV. Why does Pacquiao fear Crawford?
