    Pacman is an ATG who fought in a very strong era. Pacman will be remembered very fondly by boxing fans. The only big criticism is that he didn't fight Floyd between 2008 and 2010 (perhaps not his fault). No one cares that he didn't fight Crawford, they were from different eras.

    Crawford was a great fighter in his own right and was number 1 of his own era.

    Crawford really is a jerk to be honest. He was in Australia recently and I know some people who met him and they said he is extremely arrogant, very hostile and aggressive. These things probably helped him be a good fighter but as a person not very pleasant to be around.

    Funny how they call Pacquiao a juice head based solely on the fact he jumped up the weights like they did. He gets more abuse than the likes of Moseley who failed tests.

    This.

    Pac would set a high pace and eventually KO Crawford late in the fight, probably with a knockdown or two along the way.

    Pac is greater than Crawford. And by a considerable margin.

    I heard a guy say something similar years ago.

    I would like to point out that Freddie Roach admitted he was suspicious of what Ariza was giving Pacquiao and that they walked away from the first match over drug tests and that it was not only a mistake but their side's mistake. That's from Roach himself.

    He certainly had some sauce whenever he ate Filipino food. Toyomansi, Patis, Suka, Bagoong. I personally recommend Mang Tomas and Banana Ketchup.

    Not fighting between 2008 and 2010 because of a reluctance to take drug tests will fall squarely on Manny...to any fan in the know. Especially considering his domination during that era...in his 5th, 6th, and 7th weight divisions...extremely suspicious.

    This is totally untrue. Pac was willing to take drug tests, just as he DID BEFORE IN HIS OTHER FIGHTS. He was not going to let Floyd dictate terms while he was already accusing Pac of being on roids. Remember the lawsuit? The one PAC WON? :duh

    Took 4 fights and 8 years. What does he have to do with Crawford though?

    that’s actually surprising considering that he comes off as a genuine and humble guy based on the videos I’ve seen of him (except the time he disrespected pacman of course)
