    They don't believe it. They are attention seeking trolls. That's like, 90% of internet posters these days.

    I would hope so. The idea that Crawford was going to time Prime Pacquiao at his Pacquaio-ist, when JMM - one of the greatest counterpunchers we've seen in the sport - needed FOUR FIGHTS TO TIME PACQUIAO, is one of the most insane takes we've seen in a while.

    It only took about 1,800 punches in four fights to land that one. Let’s pour some perspective on that ko first.

    It gets harder and harder to talk boxing with obviously younger fans these days.

    Pacquiao fought at 140 pounds and at 147 in that year.

    I'd pick Pacquiao at 140 pounds which is the one he fought Hatton at.

    I think Crawford would win at 147 pounds at a non catch-weight.

    JMM would not have needed 4 fights if there was fair judging.

    True but Crawford is much more athletic and twitchy than JMM ever was. He'll have windows JMM didn't. It's not a great comparison outside of the counter puncher archetype.

    Your right in that case Marquez shouldn't have even got his second & especially the third chance to begin with after he got whooped,

    Be more thankful that Pacquiao never ducked & granted his opponents numerous amounts of rematches unlike some who refused to give him even one, when in reality he got robbed of a win their first meeting & almost again in the second definitive rematch beating Marquez.
