Can Manny's offensive leaps be enough to stop Crawford's Dog-Return-firepower?

[Rockybigblower]

I agree man

What a sheep.

[Mister Wolf]

Manny is gong to get picked apart by a southpaw jab and timed with a check right hook for charging in.

How are you guys seeing the clash of style?

We all know Manny aint afraid of nobody. Its just his nature and confidence to leap with his 1-2, if landing anywhere.

Manny doesnt have to worry about dehydration. He is a perfect and small Welterweight.

Because Manny has short arms and lands near range to clip you, such range usually gives him the opporunity to check his opponents chins and stun them, or at least they respect his power onward. If Manny can hurt Crawford as such several times, it could go 12... Defensively, Pac can go 12, the speed and angles to offset Crawford's attacks. Pac has the best Ring IQ of all the Welterweights. I would bet he can dance to Crawford's rhythm.

Pac needs to go 12 rounds without getting countered. Crawford's fall back plan is to simple counter and fight safe the way Spence did with Mikey. Make no mistake, Crawford can stop Pac too. Their defense gotta be on point

Pac beats most welterweights but at age 41 he can't beat Spence or Crawford in my opinion. I thought Pac beat Horn by a large amount and got robbed. Crawford beat Horn not long afterwards and did much better than Pac did by winning every round so easily and winning by KO. Crawford has matured into a full welterweight while Pac is really more of a big lightweight who fights at 147. Crawford has never been down and has KOed every welterweight he has fought. At this time he is too good and hits too hard for the much older Pac in my opinion. Pac is still fast but Crawford is fast and accurate with his punches and his timing and reactions are very sharp.

Pac is old and this could be Crawford's advantage

Crawford was dropped by Mean Machine but it wasn't called. He was also put on ***** street by inactive and blown up Gamboa. He has a weak chin imo but hasn't fought quality opposition that can fully expose it. Pacquiao has a very good chance of being the one to expose it.

Horn was BEAT TF UP and basically KO’d against PAC in round 9 but his team wanted to continue it, because of course they knew the fix was in, just hang on! PAC was just gassed after that, especially with the head buts from Horn causing bleeding thru the whole fight.

Crawford did “finish” Horn but it wasn’t nesrly how PAC had him. After PAC fight Horn’s face was brutalized.

Crawford fought Horn in US soil so we follow the rules here
(Most of the time)

manny gets hurt at this point in a passing of the torch fight

manny will be a ring rusted 43 year old by the time he fights again

Current manny be fading in the 2nd half of fights

While manny win over Thurman was good it was also a very competitive 8-4 fight

Crawford has the qualities to borrow Floyd’s gameplan for manny.

It won’t be as clean cuz T is slow starting and hittable, but he’ll hurt this weaker version of manny

[aboutfkntime]

What a sheep.

go on then.... write me a story saying how Pac will beat Crawford

[RHETOЯIC]

Pacquiao's fighting style almost reminds me of karate.

He always adjusts his trunks after a moment of action.

A good thread that has relatively! See you can do it!

It would be great to find out. I think Thurman is a better puncher than Crawford but not as good of a boxer and he came very close to beating Pac.

If Crawford can take Mannys power, I give him a slight edge.
