I think Spence would sort of play into his hands and he would be too quick and hit too often but Crawford’s style is all wrong. Pacquaio openly admitted that he found counterpunching opponents difficult.

Would be interesting. Pacquiao from 2008-2011 was such a savage. But we saw once he faced JMM, he was exposed to the same flaws he always had. So Crawford with his counter punching style would be extremely difficult.
Pacquaio would be able to touch Spence up, but he's more technical than a Margarito and more athletic than him. So I would favor Pacman for now, but man I could definitely see Spence's body work slowing down and eventually stopping him. Remember, Margarito landed one clean shot all fight which was a body shot and it had Pacman reeling. Spence is a better and more committed body puncher than Margarito.
Pacquiao via decision vs both, but very tough calls.

Even though Pac is an ATG, he's kinda little. I'm not betting against either Crawford or Spence until I see them lose first, b/c they might be ATG too.

I think a prime Pacquiao would KO Crawford and get KOed by Spence. I think Spence hits much harder than Crawford, takes a punch better than Crawford and throws many more punches every round than Crawford. Spence is also a better body puncher than Crawford and probably the best body puncher in boxing. All this makes Spence a far more dangerous opponent than Crawford in my opinion.

Prime Pac should be favored against both fighters. He is one of the 20-30 greatest fighters ever and neither Spence or Crawford has shown they can beat such a truly elite fighter yet.
Both would definitely give him trouble though, based on size for Spence and style for Crawford.
