    You're talking about the same Crawford that got hit consistently and even outboxed in spots by Yuriorkis Gamboa of all fighters. I think Pac at his best would have been able to beat him to the punch.

    Far lesser fighters have lit Crawford up like EK who dropped him. Tiny little Gamboa outboxed him and hit him w/ a left hand and had him badly hurt and doing the stanky leg. One-legged Benavidez was nailing him flush to the head and the body.

    Terry is a very talented fighter but his best wins are Porter, Postol and Gamboa all of whom he was significantly heavier than sans Porter. And the Gamboa fight was a grotesque size mismatch. Gamboa had only fought at 135 once before, a tough points win against Darleys Perez, the same Darleys Perez who was KO'd by featherfist Anthony Crolla a few years later. Gamboa is a natural 130 pounder who should be 7-6 (2 KOs) at 135, Terry was a gigantic 135 natural 137 pounder.

    At 135 or above Manny beat Mosley, Melon Head Miguel, Oscar, JMM. Margarito, Bradley, Hatton, Thurman, Lucas, Clottey, Diaz, Algieri, Rios, Vargas and even Bum Broner.

    I think your name is ironic.

    I think you are a bot.

    I think this a pointless thread that offers nothing new or different due to the severe nature of the mismatch. (Though it's better than the one you started about Mosley VS Forrest which had already happened twice as people had to explain to you)

    I think you should do a [PRIME] Mike Tyson VS [PRIME] Dustin Nichols next with poll.

    (I got The Worm in four)

    Prime Dusty vs prime Mike is an absolutely mouthwatering hypothetical match up.

    Tyson gasses out after three and then you will see the true might of the man, the myth, the absolute wrecking machine that is The Worm.

    Nichols, KO4.

    :lol: Yes, I think that's how it would play out. Slim chance Mike could catch Dusty with something big and hurt him but I can't think of a time when an in shape fully motivated Dusty was ever hurt

    Crawford's too slow. If Gamboa could lace him up at will then Pac would walk through him.

    ODLH was a zombie and hadn't fought at Welterweight in a decade, he was literally a walking corpse that night. No argument from me for the Margarito fight though, although Crawford is alot more skillful than Margarito. I think Crawford's style does bother Pacquiao, although with Crawford's lack of elite opposition it's hard to gauge how he'd do vs Pacquiao.

    People thought Margarito was too large for Manny. And we saw what happened there. Manny in his prime "had it". Ferocious puncher with incredible movement and speed. I feel he would have been much too much for Bud.
