    The consensus is that Crawford is the number 1 WW right now, and PAC is 42 years old and way way past his prime.

    Although, Crawford has no big brig lights experience as being in a ring or an event the magnitude of Pac, and he hasn’t fought a strong note worthy opponent so we really no clue just “how” good Crawford is until in the ring with real competition.

    As of now, Pac can still beat him.
    I’d say it’s a 60/40 split in favor of Crawford.

    In his prime PAC slaughters Crawford in 8 rounds. Crawford has no chance against a Tasmanian devil like pac in his prime. Floyd didn’t want that smoke eiither, fyi.

      Yes there are many on this forum who think he can beat Crawford but I think Crawford gives him a beating. If he was as young as Crawford I think it would be a close fight but he is 41 years old. I think Crawford is much better than the Thurman Pac beat.

        Yes pacquiao can win this fight. He dealt with Thurmans youth so he can deal with Duckford. Plus Thurman hits harder.🥊

          Yeah I think Pac absolutely can beat Crawford. Although Pac has lost a step and is on the decline he is still a formidable opponent with a LOT of experience. He is still pretty fast for his age and he gets around the ring well. At this point I would probably install Pac as an underdog in this fight, assuming that the weight stips are fair. The longer it takes to set up this fight the more I would consider Crawford the favorite

              Crawford has beaten nobody even half as good as old Pacquiao. His resume is b class or lower trinket holders, faded former champs, and bums. His welterweight resume is pure dog **** for a supposed top p4p fighter and welterweight. Horn, peg legged Jose Bumavidez, Amir Khan, and Eurobum Mean Machine. He was put on ***** street by inactive and blown up Gamboa with a massive size disadvantage. He lost rounds to peg leg. He had to lowblow washed up glass jaw Amir Khan to stop him. He was just dropped by a Eurobum last fight.

              Crawford has a glass chin and that's why his team carefully cherry picks for him. His re-signing with Top Rank and ESPN exclusivity to duck the top guys adds more validity to my claim. He is the biggest hype job cherry picker in boxing. At his age and supposed p4p status he should've fought a decent opponent already. The boxing media needs to call out the bum beating hype job cherry picker.

              Pacquiao has a very good chance of stopping hype job cherry picking Fraudford. He has a glass jaw, gets hit by slow bums, has trouble with speed, Pacquiao will certainly hit him, Pacquiao is fast still, Pacquiao is unorthodox and craftier than most think, and Pacquiao hits hard. I think Pacquiao would stop him within 10 rounds but Fraudford would duck this fight. I think Fraudford would rather fight Mike Alvarado than Pacquiao.

                A young and hungry southpaw will be a very bad mix for Pac unless a clause is enforced.

                  I truly believe that’s the edge he has over these days top WW’s. The top guys don’t fight each other, less alone often, so when it comes to those bright lights and having fought major multiple wars, they have very little experience. Pac has so much. I believe that’s how he dropped Thurman in the first and set the tone for that fight.
                  Because Thurman is a great boxer with a hard punch. I’d love to see Thurman, Crawford, Spence and even DSG mix it up with each other and see who comes out on top overall.

                      Bud doesn't fit the Pac opponent mold -
                      Injured, not 100 %, low ko %, claused, shot, punching bag.
