Crawford vs Floyd and Pac at 140

[ironmt]

Pacquiao is an amazing talent, but he is overrated... Pacquiao is extremely athletic but very limited, has a tendency to lunge in, and against decent sized welters or Jnr Welters he would find himself having trouble.
Floyd would outbox Crawford I'd expect but it'd be a good scrap.

Only one man was ever able to catch him lunging In and that was after 42 rounds. How Is Pacquiao limited? As far as decent sized fighters, Pacquiao has spent his entire career fighting much bigger guys. I am not knocking your opinion but Pacquiao Is certainly not limited and many fighters have stated how awkward he Is to fight.

I favor Pacman in a very good fight over Crawford. Crawford-Mayweather is a pick'em, lackluster fight.

1.) Pacquiao compared to Crawford has a limited Right hand, doesn't have a very educated right hand.
2.) Lunges A LOT. Extremely open to counters.
3.) Is a very short fighter with a not a lot of reach.
4.) Pacquiao couldn't even outbox Marquez in four fights...a very short guy who he had a speed advantage over. Crawford would wait for Pacquiao to lunge in, and counter him.

1. Jabbed diaz to death with right hand and right hooks. Knocked down Hatton, controlled Margarito, almost Koed Cotto with his right hook, only Floyd was able to nullify Pacquiaos right hand.
2. Lunges a lot? Or areyou mimicking sheeps? PAC gives the illusion of lunging but os actually pivoting to the right in order to make angles for an upper cut or a straight left.
3. Short fighter but demolished fighters that are longer than him and beat them at their own game besides Floyd and Marquez.
4. Are you expecting Pacquiao whose style is taylor made for Marquez to beat one if the greatest counterpunchers at his own game? Thats like daring Crawford to say that he sgould Brawl with Errol Spence.

I find it funny how clowns would claim "pacquiao lunges, gets countered easily" when it took 42 rounds for one of the greatest counterpunchers of all time to actually catch him. And infact Floyd disnt even catch Pacquiao lunging in also but instead was caught by Pacquiao telegraphing the jab with a big left hand that wobbled him.

Me calling a fighter limited doesn't mean they aren't good.
The 2000 Ravens were "limited" in a sense on offense, doesn't mean they aren't good.
I mean that he doesn't really have an educated right hand, when he's flustered with footwork and what not, he tends to lunge in.
Not to mention, Terence Crawford is a true welterweight [IMHO] just waiting to move to 147. By catch him coming in, I don't mean K.O him cold. I just mean catch him and make him wary of jumping in. Also he doesn't have a south paw advantage against Crawford.

Marquez only landed one counter punch vs Pacquiao now? Mr TORADOL didn't get outboxed 3 out of 4 fights?



Pact@rds. SMH.



METH is a helluva drug.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion but I respectfully disagree. One of Pacquiao's greatest attributes Is his footwork. He Is able to get In, throw his shots and get out before his opponent has a chance to react. So I am not exactly sure what you mean by " when he's flustered with footwork" Marquez Is a great counter puncher and spent 42 rounds In the ring with Pacquiao before he was actually able to time that perfectly placed counter shot. A prime Pacquiao was one of the fastest fighters of all time and I just don't see Crawford catching him.

Yeah, Pacquiao Isn't getting countered easily. Marquez certainly was able to do things In the ring with Manny that Floyd was unable to do.
