    Some people, not me.

    Floyd would be a cherry picker for picking on a smaller, younger fighter. Yet Manny gets a pass.
    Manny is a naturally little guy and Crawford is a beast. He's not some little can. Horn beat Manny, what do you think Crawford will do to him?

    Manny is the most overrated fighter of the past 10 years without question. 1st ballot Hall of Famer for sure and probably a Top 100 ATG. However, he is also the most likely to have used PED's in his career and he has no more than a handful of wins over prime opponents...David Diaz, Bradley, split with a prime-ish Morales, Jorge Solis, and given a gift decision over Marquez 3 times (the draw was acceptable in the 2nd fight, 1st and 3rd fights were actual robberies and not "close fights" like many posters here misuse the phrase)

    Pacquiao will be forgotten in 3-5 years. The only memory of him will be KTFO6, taking Margarito's eye, and losing to Floyd in what turned out to be a dud of a "superfight". Oh and drug testing. The fact that drug testing was the hold up for...5 years?

    Nothing else will be remembered of the cheating immigrant

        Pacquiao is totally shot. Crawford would pick him apart and knock him out.

          I'm not a part of the y'all crew. CRAWFORD cleaned out a division and has out grown it and is now respectfully moving up. Are u afraid for PAC?

              Pac at this point is still too much for crawford. Floyd find it the hard way when he thinks that pac is already shot but pac is the one countering and wobbled floyd.

                If pac can beat floyd with just one healthy arm then even at this point pac will beat crawford. Unless crawford is much better than floyd in everthing.

                    I'm a huge Pacquiao fan but he's been washed up since Bradley 1,away with aggressiveness and volume punching, when he was younger he would have whitewashed jessie vargas and horn in 3 rounds, now he almost went life and death, we have to face it, he's done,Crawford will knock him out, don't think he has any chance to come close to winning that fight, he should just retire before he gets brain damage, he has been thru enough wars
