    It’s 60/40 in favor of Crawford, and that’s only because Manny is 42.
    Manny’s prime? He slaughters Crawford like cattle and then serves him up in pieces to his entourage.

      It's a bad style match up for Manny. Crawford is cagey with a great engine. Unlike Floyd, he won't coast to a decision win. He'll stop Manny or Roach will throw in the towel.

      I think Manny has a better chance of beating Spence.

        A part of me wants to say Crawford would be too much for Pacquiao at this point. Another part of me can’t ignore that TC has been fighting absolute crap after Victor Postol. I will not forget how ordinary TC has looked vs fighters with a pulse. The power he has shown has been against overmatched opponents. A past prime, smaller, older Gamboa visibly hurt Crawford. I will also not forget that TC looked very frustrated against Klimov and looked ordinary vs Prescott. Neither of these fighters are elite or all time greats. Pacquiao is. Even at his advanced age, Pacquiao can take down lesser fighters than him. And it is very possible that TC can be a lesser fighter.

        Yeah, TC looked great against Horn, and Pacquiao kinda struggled. But styles make fights and Horn wrestled his way to a close decision, while also getting his face dismantled in the process.

        I think Pacquiao can surprise everyone like he did vs Thurman and win.

          I’ve stated recently, that I think Pacquiao can beat GGG and possibly Crawford. It’s not that Pacquiao is some beast, I mean he is an ATG. It’s just that Pacquiao has so much experience at the top level and these guys that are hyped up today like TC and GGG, they just have not proved their hype vs the elite. Pacquiao has.

          I just don’t think much of TC and GGG.

          If you ask me who wins between Lomachenko and Pacquiao at 140, i’d find that fight a lot tougher to predict than the bigger TC and GGG. Lomachenko seems like the real deal. I just haven’t seen enough from GGG and Crawford at the elite level to know how they would do vs Pacquiao. Especially since Roach will likely drain GGG to 153-155lbs. I’ve seen enough of Lomachenko to see that he would be a tough matchup for anyone up to 140lbs.

            No. Not ever. At any age.

            Maybe Pac is trying to get Bud to agree to some gay clause.

              Sry but Horn was able to rob him. The sport would never sign off on GGG vs Pac without a major weight clause.

                Only if its at 140 or maybe a catch-weight at 143. Manny can't take Crawford at full on 147.

                  Yeah, Pac could never be Bud but if there is a Halloween costume of Bud, Pac could wear it and and least look like Bud but the height would be a dead giveaway.

                    Like what Manny you talking about, no CWS or coming of bad loses, can you point me to the Manny that does this to TC I can find him.

                      All these Floyd boys got a lot to say about Pac fighting all these young lions Floyd ducked. When it came to subject of Floyd v young lions they didn't have much to say. Cat got their tongue.
                      Why is there 2 threads with this title by same poster?
