Crawford (2023) vs Pacquiao (2009)

Crawford in a violent chess match.

 

Pac by decision. Just too fast.

 

Wasn't Pacquao at 140lbs for this bout meanwhile Fishy was 147lbs?

Either way i think that Crawfish is just too strong for Pacquiao to overcome

 

Crawford would adjust and time Pacquiao’s blitzes.

Pacquiao was better when guys would go to him, but he could deal with some boxers when he couldn’t sit back, but usually ones who didn’t have powerful counter punches or didn’t time opponents with big punches, like Bradley or Algieri.

Pacquiao couldn’t box Crawford, so he’d be forced to attempt blitzes, but Crawford would study Pacquaio and begin to time him and Paciquao would be put into a box where Crawford can outbox him from rage.

Crawford on points.

 

Pac

 

Unless it’s at 135, Crawford would win. There’s a reason why Pac struggled against Marquez.

 

Porter was winning every round against Crawford who wasn’t dealing with the pressure well. I know Pacquiao is a different sort of pressure to Porter but still I think this is a bad matchup for Crawford.

 

Manny fought Hatton at 140 and Cotto at 145. At 147 Crawford would KO Manny and I like Manny.

 

Going with Manny on this one. Crawford never faced anyone like Manny. His fastest opponent was a shot Khan who had already been brutally KO'd 3x.

 

This never happened.

 

Marquez was a right handed fighter with a big right hand

Crawford is a southpaw. Yes, he can switch hit. But he is primarily a southpaw. I doubt his orthodox right hand will be anywhere near as potent as Marquez.

 

Crawford is just far superior to Marquez in a h2h sense. He’s closer to Mayweather’s level. Manny didn’t fight a lot of southpaws.

 

I see a close fight on points.
