Prime pacquiao vs Crawford

[BoxingIsGreat]

Pac without a doubt .
Crawford's had fights against way lesser caliber opponents where he looks beatable .
Plus . Who's Crawford fought ???

The Pacman was KOed a couple of times by people "way lesser caliber" than Crawford.

Crawford would kill this version of Pac, and I'd pick him to beat Pac in his prime, too, in a tougher fight.

Manny’s prime is long gone. Bud’s is not here yet. Hard to judge, but I give Manny the nod, he’s simply fought a lot better guys than Crawford has.

I think if Crawford as a potential All time great who has the physical skills of Zab Juda and the boxing skills of Juan Manual Marquez. He’s got a frightening skill set. But Manny has proven more against other great boxers.

to soon to say. lets see how Crawford's career progresses fighting guys his own size.

Agree Crawford's best opponent was victor postol

Prime Pacquaio based on the Yuri fight.

That said...i don't feel Crawford is yet in his prime so maybe I'll change my opinion depending on how Crawford performs these next few years.

I'd hate to see current Pacman vs Crawford.... It would be ugly.

At his prime, I don't think Crawford could beat Pacquiao. Prime vs prime.

Bud. Pac has no defense and would get countered and jabbed up by Bud. The tentativeness you saw against Mayweather offensively would be the same against Bud.

Prime Pac wasn't tentative at all, he was a whirling dynamo that threw punches from all angles and fought fearless. That is who Bud would be facing, not the version of Pac who faced Mayweather. Peace.

Floyd wasn't prime against Maidana

[bojangles1987]

You have to give an ATG like Pac the nod here just out of respect, but Crawford has the style and skills to beat even prime Pac. It would be one hell of a fight, either way.

In their prime who would win?

In my honest onpinion, Crawford is a harder opponent for pacquiao then mayweather. I think prime pacquaio would destroy Floyd. To busy and Floyd thinks defense first like he did with maidana and pacquaio would be all over him. But Crawford is different, Crawford is a better version of Marquez. With power and ability to counter moving back wards and versatility of switching stance, he will be very hard opponent for pacquaio. Like Marquez, Crawford , once he gets hit, he’s a killer.

Pacquiao that destroyed Cotto
Would smash Crawford into Lala land within 6 rounds.

Even now, a past prime shell of himself may UD Crawford.
