If Grandpa Pacquiao Defeats Bud Crawford. Is He the GOAT?

[Illmatic94]

I smell this matchup coming up..

If Bud beats Horn and Pac beats Matthysse. They're gonna clash.

I got a feeling Pac gave Roach the boot because Roach openly said he didn't want Manny facing Bud.

At age 39 Manny is a fossil in boxing years.

If this clash takes place and Manny wins. Is he the undisputed GOAT?

Would be a spectacular win and arguably his best, but 1 win likely wouldn't cement him as the greatest. Also depends on Crawford if he comes back to dominate. Similar to a Duran-Leonard situation.

Small odds of that happening anyway.

I believe even at this stage of pacs career he will still beat crawford.

I pray that this fight will happen before oac retires.

Pacquiao is not fighting Crawford, he's fighting Lomachenko next. But I'll bite, if Pacquiao lands a hail mary left hand that catches Crawford coming in and KO's crawford (Marquez style) or catches Crawford with a looping left hook (Hatton style) he still isn't the goat.

His Barrara win in 2003 is his best win bar none. No win in the last 20 years of all active fighters would trump that Barrera win.

I agree. Pac is 4-1 underdog in that fight and barrera is a recognize lb4lb boxer.

Sure, why not?

[BoxingIsGreat]

This fight will never happen. Too dangerous at this stage of Pac's career. Pac's health comes first.

We need to see how bud comes up in weight against Jeff.
I think Jeff is the perfect fight for buds first fight at welter considering Jeff is more of a fighter than a boxer.
I think Jeff will cause problems for Bud.
I see Bud winning a ud in a 12 rnd hard fought match.
