    Crawford walks around at around 170. While Manny barely ever fights on fight night above 150.

      Are you really comparing 1 fighters walk around weight with anothers fight weight?

      Walk around weight means nothing. What they weigh at the weigh-ins and on fight night is all that matters. You know........ the weight they actually fight at.

        Your correct. If both can make 147 on the scales then theyre WW's. Im just saying Crawford is MUCH bigger than Pac. And if you cant see that with your own eyes get new glasses.

          People aren't great at judging weight with eyes which is why we use scales. Crawford in ring is no bigger than the average WW. Just a lame excuse. I'd put money on Jeffrey Horn being bigger. It's not the size it's the skill that's the problem.

              Not the size that scares Pacquiao, it's the skill. Pacquiao has fought bigger fighters than Crawford.

                    CRAWFO3D just cleaned out 135 and 140 and is now moving up to PAC weight of 147. Already they cry he's too big even b4 having his 1st fight at 147. Gtfoh!!

                      Well said Curt!!!
                      I really feel for Manny. He could have made way more money with that kind of talent and likability. Also, if he was an American he would be more hip to political correctness and would not have made the comment about gay people. He would have been able to put a better perspective on the tenets of Christianity. That's why I never truly held it against him. He is just a product of 3rd world upbringings: faithful and obedient and be thankful for small mercies.
