    Jeff horn was confused on which sport was going on. He thought it was MMA and pac still really beat him lol. Crawford most likely wins but crawford didnt handle "mean machines" punches all that well so a pacman KO is very plausible as well. Money on crawford but pac could def win. Whoever wins deserves their credit

    I think the better question is if Pac does win, and I really believe he can, Crawford's chin has always been suspect for me (Kava) and he does get hit quite frequently (Kava, Brook), and neither of his past two opponents are even close to Pac's counterpunching ability, speed AND power -- will you all losers give Pac his due or are you all gonna play the "Crawford was not really good" card?

    Sh%t. Pac beat an undefeated, well established (even better than Crawford when he fought Pac), prime, f*cking ripped and PED-ridden Thurman and none of you tards gave him his due.

    Anybody wanna bet that it will at least be a very competitive fight? Or you all still spineless cowards and lining up your excuses already should Pac make Crawford look average?

    And mark my words Pac will make Crawford look average. Thurman was a way more difficult matchup for Pac (way faster, way higher workrate, way more mobile, way rangier, better lead right) and look how that turned out? You're all banking on Crawford pulling a Marquez on Pac, but y'all forgot JMM took 42rds before he finally caught Pac. Not to mention his style (like Erik Morales') is more suited to neutralize Pac. Crawford will look even less spectacular in there than Bradley did against Pac. Pac feasts on fighters who can't fight off the back foot and just waits on openings. Crawford will taste a lot of leather in this fight and believe me he won't look as good as you all imagine him to be.

    If Pac wins then he'll overcome being a huge underdog after taking a fight he was expected to lose by almost everyone - something Floyd never did.
    Still believe Floyd will always be the greater talent but in terms of CV right now there's very little in it, a win over for Crawford and it's difficult to argue Pac shouldn't be rated higher.

    Pac has been rated higher for awhile now. Floyd skills r almost untouchable tho. Pac wins this hes a few miles ahead of may in terms of resume with age and weights being factors

    You're high and clearly don't have clue as to what you're seeing if you're saying Thurman is better and a harder match up for Pac than Crawford is. The same Thurman who came off a long lay off a 18 month layoff because of injury and in his first fight back looked like **** against Lopez. That Thurman??? The same Thurman when he stopped facing C level fighters stopped knocking guys out and didn't live up to his One Time nickname?? That Thurman?? Yes it was a good win for Pac but don't get it twisted, Crawford is a completely different animal. He's a long switch hitting maniac with speed power who can fight tall behind a jab and school dudes or get in the trenches and get his hands dirty and destroy them. He also can adjust much better than Thurman does because he has a higher ring IQ and more layers to his game. Crawford would have beaten the **** outta Thurman had they fought. You'll be in for a shocking surprise if you think Pac will have a easy time with Crawford, hell a prime Pac would have his hands full with Crawford. Pac can fight no more than 6 or 7 rounds at a high level anymore at best against a guy like Crawford who can fight a hard 12 with speed and intensity it's a recipe for disaster for Pac not to mention Crawford is not a nice guy he will come in there looking to end Pac's career, he will show him no mercy.

    IMO Pac should have taken on Mikey or a lesser fighter at his stage in his career, but he needs the money and this Crawford fight will put alot of money in his pocket.

    No he hasn't by who? The last rankings were done by ESPN and PBF was ranked higher historically. The Ring also ranked PBF higher than Pac as well. Where are these all time rankings you speak of? Are they yours or from Pacland?

    U arent hearing what im saying. Floyd is a once in a century talent hes the best overall of all time but in terms of weight classes and fighting bigger guys and aging and still fighting bigger stronger younger fighters who r supposed to beat him pacman is unparalleled

    Guy, please relax.

    Thurman looked like **** against Lopez?

    Thurman got caught — it's boxing and Lopez has good power — but he otherwise schooled Lopez losing 1, maybe 2 rounds, and shook off the ring rust.

    FACT #1: Pacquiao fought the most active Thurman out of Porter and Danny (least time between fights)

    FACT #2: Collazo almost KO'd Thurman w/ a body shot... RIGHT BEFORE Thurman fought Porter.

    Then you throw in the fact that Pac was 42 and way smaller than Porter and Danny and there's no way that wasn't an incredible victory.

    :deal:

    Pacquiao snatching zeroes late in his career..

    Tim Bradley
    Chris Algieri
    Jeff Horn *
    Keith Thurman

    And he's gonna snatch Crawdord's, too.

    I already said it was a good win despite the circumstances he got his due. He's fighting Crawford because he needs the payday.

    Pac wants the money for his inevitable presidential run, of course. But he's also legacy-minded. Otherwise, he'd just fight the 2 Garcias and make more money combined than 1 fight against Crawford.

    Interesting. A prime pac takes it 8-4 or by stoppage (Cotto Pac). This one fights in spurts and gasses late.

    He better train like hell. If he’s fit for 12 rounds, it’ll be a close 12 rounds either way. Crawford hasn’t been with anyone even close to Pac in terms of skill, power and speed combined.

    Pac makes Crawford uncomfortable fighting off of the back foot and gets the decision. Maybe even a flash knockdown. Pac's chin will hold out for any of Crawford's counters.
