Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Long-Term Future Best Served By Avoiding Crawford

Blah blah blah line em up including Crawford they ain't going to beat Pac anytime soon

Pac gets KO'd within 9 rounds vs TC... Pac would realize very early on he's in with a different animal, best switch hitter on the planet... TC's too long, strong, mean, skilled & determined... he'd walk Pac down for some rounds administering a terrible end of career beating for Pac.... hospital visit needed for Pac afterwards...

Look at all these idiots thinking bud is going to beat Pac LMAO keep dreaming along with this dumb ass writer on buds nuts

I clearly remember how Crawford struggled with Gamboa's speed. He did finally catch up though... Now, Manny is obviously superior to Gamboa, and has better whiskers. And although it would be Crawford's best opponent yet, Bud is just so good at adjusting. Thus, one would have to favour Bud, because I don't think Pac can pull off a "Thurman show" against him.

It is a simple matter of Crawford still being in his prime while Manny is at minimum at least half a decade removed from his.

Crawford is too sharp for a Pacquiao who is on a fight by fight basis (because of age).

It would be disappointing for Manny to end his career is a possible one sided affair which is what I believe the article may be referring to.

I want to watch Crawford and Thurman first so i can make comparison. Nonetheless, no matter how old Manny is compared to Crawford, id still lean with Manny knowing even quarter of his wins isn't even the whole of Crawford's legacy

First off, even at 42 or whatever nobody is whooping Manny's ass. Haven't people learned this by now? The most one sided fight y'all have seen him in was the Mayweather fight and Floyd landed a career low and didn't hurt Manny once. The JMM KO? Manny was about two inches away from a stoppage himself before he got KO'd. Other than that, since he made his presence known to the boxing world, when has he gotten whooped? A lot of people thought Keith was gonna walk through him and beat his ass too. What happened? After predictably people who thought that immediately started damage control by discrediting the win by saying Keith was past it. It's amazing the lengths people go to attack Manny's name.

Could Crawford beat him? Sure he could. He's obviously an elite killer and at the peak of his powers. Manny is FORTY-TWO years old

But he's not walking through Manny. That's laughable. The guy (Crawford) looked shaky as f***k against Kavaliauskas for f***k's sake. He got freaking dropped by the guy. You don't think Pacquiao can't catch Crawford? Come on now, I know some of y'all hate Manny and his fans with all your heart, but you gotta use some objectivity.

And let's be real Terrence's resume is still pretty weak for a guy with his stature. Her still doesn't have an A level scalp on his 36 fight resume. Hell Thurman has a TWO superior scalps on his resume that are easily better than any single win that Crawford has.

This has been the case for yrs now. Pac is only still fighting today, because he hasn't faced Crawford over the past 5 yrs. Had he, his career would've been done by now.

im laughing so hard right now. past 5 years? maybe your bud is already retired today if that fight happens back then. too slow for manny.

yeah, I'm sure the pac that went life and death with Jeff Horn ends Crawfords career. You pac fans are too much.

That little old man barking up the wrong tree even considering that fight.
