    I think I would.

    I just don't know if that's enough.

    If he destroys Ugas, he's no.1.

    Beating Thurman who already beat Porter and Garcia is better than any of Spence's wins.

    Destroying Ugas who is more or less Porter's level and we saw how Spence did with Porter would make a statement that these guys are not on his level.

    Crawford's resume is not even in the conversation, we're rating him just based off an eye test.

    He wouldn't be an underdog. Pac-Spence opened up as 3/1 with Pac an underdog. 11 days out and it was more 60/40, by fight night, Pac would have been the favourite.

    I wouldn't think so but I'm not as current as I used to be and I'm not sure if I am missing something. No vote.

    Yes, Pacquiao's last few fight in 147 is already way better than crawfords entire resume.

    People betting big on Pac doesn't change anything.

    You’re talking about odds. I’m talking about odds. People putting money where their mouth is.

    You can argue a case for him being number 1 since both Ugas and Thurman were rated higher than Danny and Porter combined.
    I'm still having problems ranking Crawford higher than either Pac or Spence since the former beat Thurman and the latter beat Porter.
    Bud is something special on the level of Mayweather perhaps, but he's so unproven and he ducked the biggest challenges of his career, namely Spence and Pac.
    I have no problems ranking him in the top 3 of P4P lists since those are completely hypothetical and subjective anyway.
    But when it comes to the WW division, it's just dumb to rank him higher than Pac "because he looks so skilled while beating B class fighters, while avoiding the big challenges".
    On the other hand Spence and Pac have been unifying belts, so yeah.
    And let us not even begin to talk about how big Pac's balls are for signing up against Spence, Crawford and Thurman, AND not having any problems fighting a high risk low reward opponent in Ugas just because "you win belts by fighting in the ring".

    And yeah, F*CK Spence and his team. I would've been unable to sleep now because of excitement but F*CK them and their lousy excuses.

    I’m pretty much at that point already. His competition has been so poor recently, he’s out of the conversation for me until he proves otherwise.

    He already did that when he beat Thurman.

    Pac would be an underdog vs Crawford.

    crawford only got that belt by beating a guy who won via robbery, he has done nothing significant at 147.
