    Pacquiao with Ariza stops him
    Pac without wins a decision

    Crawford is getting KOed. He's not nearly as polished of a counter puncher to make Pac pay and he's got too much of the dog in him and would exchange too much to a fault.

    Pac weighed more than Delahoya fight night. And he was also a shell going in so there is that.

    As for this fight, would be interesting to see Manny fighting a fighter who can switch like TC. Good fight - I feel Pac wins a decision.

    Pac hit Marquez a million times. It wasn’t that he couldn’t cut off the ring, Marquez was just very successful at hitting him back. Also, Marquez a mover?

    Terrence undoubtedly has some skills and is amongst the very best of this time, but he would be up against one of the greatest of all time. Even though TC is a southpaw, I still see him having a hard time with Pac's deadly straight left and lightning-quick in & out movement when I picture them going at it :boxing1

    Pac late TKO.

    Incredible fight.

    While Pac will be favored here, I do think he would be extremely vulnerable to Crawfords sharp counters.

    Pac is favored here but Crawford winning wouldn't surprise me at all.

    Pac until Crawford takes on some worthy opponents that show that he's on that level. Times running out Bud!

    Pacquiao. Crawford doesn’t throw sharp straight punches often. He relies heavily on hook/uppercut counters. I feel like prime Pacquiao would’ve been too fast for him to handle. Don’t get me wrong, Crawford could possibly win by catching him with a sneaky counter hook, but Crawford simply isn’t as defensively polished enough to edge it out.

    Manny's resume is HOF worthy.
    Crawford's resume is LOL worthy.

    Manny by UD.

    JMM (3-4 times...4th fight JMM didnt really move), Floyd, Bradley in spots, and I'm sure there's more but Manny definitely didnt excel against movers.

    Manny rightfully the favorite but Crawford live imho
