Can Crawford Beat Pacquiao By Walking Him Down And Trading Like He Did EK???

Crawford beats Pacquiao and Pac knows this that's why he will never get in the ring with Crawford.

 

Manny has been KO'd only when drained into emaciation as a kid and when he walked into a lucky shot by JMM.
A prime Manny easily beats Bud, but now....I see a UD for Pacman. No KO's.

 

That smile on pacquiao when he said “i dont know why arum did not give the crawford fight” but instead gave the horn fight tells alot.

Arum screw pacman in australia so if he does not renew with top rank, he can have horn vs crawford for the wbo belt. Boxing politics at its finest.

 

Crawford would box Pac and try to wear him down and go for a late stoppage. If he comes out brawling, he risk getting caught by Pac who still has power and fast combos.

 

Thurman is not on Crawford's level. Crawford beats Pacquiao like a baby.

 

And we have a winner on this thread, Crawford comes forward and whips Manny's azz. But it will never happen, so Manny fans can keep saying, oh yeah he'd have beat Crawford!

 

The announcers were blowing Crawford all night. He fought a dumb fight IMO. Made a lesser talent look better than he should have. Manny is levels higher than EK and has many more dimensions to his game. With EK, you pretty much know what he’s going to do because he’s very basic. Has decent fundamentals but is conventional. Manny can box, punch, move and has a good gastank for his age. I think it will be a good matchup if it happens. As close to a superfight At the weight as it gets until Spence returns. I hope he’s healthy because it would be a shame to lose a guy like Spence (as a top fighter) at his age. I think Porter would be a good opponent as well. Crawford probably wins that fight but not without earning it. Porter is a tough guy who looked good against Spence.

 

Now? Maybe. In Pac's prime? Crawford gets obliterated. He gets hit a lot. Tiny Gamboa hurt him and was clearly faster, just too small.

 

Thurman is more proven at 147 than Crawford although that doesn’t mean he’s necessarily better.

However there’s nothing wrong with having a tough fight against a fighter like Thurman unless I’m missing something?

 

Thurman has sen his best days. He amost got KO by Luis Collazo, and then Josesito Lopez. If you read the context of my response you would have seen that I consider Crawford to be vastly superior to this version of Thurman.

 

That’s debatable as Crawford has yet to face a guy like Porter or Garcia at 147 like Thurman did.

 

Because he could. He would NOT fight Pac like that and that is what makes Crawford special. He can fight multiple ways and both orthodox and left handed. This is NOT the Pac of old despite what he did to a Thurman who only fights every 18 months. He is over 40 and Crawford will force him to use his legs, they will wear out and Crawford will be able to potshot in later rounds. Crawford is one of the best finishers in boxing today

 

Based on eye test, Crawford is clearly fresher, more skilled, and durable.
