    Who do you got in a showdown between Crawford and Pacquiao?

    Does anyone think that Crawford exposes Pac's defensive flaws and gives him a clinical beatdown the same way he put on Spence?

    I think Crawford would win. He has more of what Marquez had than Marquez himself.

    I’m not prepared to say. Crawford is awesome but PAC was a beast in his prime

    Bud is an expert counter puncher and as JMM and Floyd have shown, Manny is vulnerable to Counter Punchers.

    Bud has not defeated an ATG caliber in his entire boxing career. He just defeated a drained Spence that has been inactive for almost two years and all of a sudden you concluded that he can beat a prime PAC who had defeated numerous ATGs. That is an insane logic.

    PAC over whelms Crawford with speed & power.pacquaio fought & destroyed better boxers than cràwford .PAC is a p4p great & destroyed other great boxers.the only boxer that was on an even playing field against a prime Pacquiao was Marquez who I rank only behind Chavez & Sanchez for greatest Mexican boxers of all time.crawford has not come close to fighting the opponents that Pacquiao fought.

    I agree PAC in his prime made other p4p greats he fought look bad.the only one he had problems with was Marquez who to me is one of the greatest Mexican boxers of all time only behind Chavez & sanchez.he is the only boxer to have won belts in 7 & 8 different weight divisions.there is a reason why Floyd Floyd made every excuse in the book for 7 years until he was 36 & lost a couple of steps.

    Bud's best win so far is Spence. His win against Spence however does not warrant a win against a prime Pac if they fought considering that Spence is neither an ATG caliber himself nor with an elite opposition in his entire boxing career (except Mickey but elite at 135).

    Was Spence ranked top-10 P4P? He didn't deserve it. Not these days.

    Pacman on or off steroids?

    Bud wins regardless.

    What’s with Pac threads? I’ve never seen him win one, even one as obvious IMO as this.
