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

[Combat Talk Radio]

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?

Nope. Triangle theory doesn't wash, according to NSB. Doesn't matter if Crawford gets past Horn, doesn't matter if Manny gets past Lucas.

Manny LOST!...to Jeff "The Hornet" Horn, then ducked the rematch when called out.

That means, in order to regain honor, just as with Bradley, Manny now has to face and decisively beat The Hornet, then do it again in a rubber match.

If he does that - clearly beats the #1 Welterweight in the World twice and avenge that embarrassing loss - then Manny will regain his T(2nd)BE status.

Manny won't go anywhere near it. He's trying to fight the smaller Loma instead.

Who is a much much better fighter than Crawford, Lomachenko earns less money than a fight with Crawford probably.

[-Antonio-]

Yes. Put him past JCC and Duran at the very least.

[CHOWWOKKA]

It would elevate him quite a bit but Floyd will always be his daddy

[Eddy Current]

IMO Crawford would actually be the aggressor in this fight. Like he would just be there to shatter Pacquaio, and Pac would play counter puncher.

I guess I could see that happening a few rounds into the fight.

He would have had a better chance when he fought Bradley for the unnecessary third time but Pac at this point can't make adjustments to beat a fighter of Crawford's calibre.
