Could Manny Pac last the distance in a bout vs Crawford?

Not at this stage, no. Unless Crawford plays it super safe. Pac would still bring power, speed, and angles of which he has never seen.

Pressing Pac is ALWAYS going to be an extremely dangerous affair.

 

PAC is too old and shot. 3-4 years ago he would've still had a chance at beating Crawford despite being past prime, since Crawford still likes pretending he's a good southpaw. Crawford should really stick to conventional, since he isn't a good enough southpaw to beat elite competition from that stance. If Crawford would've stuck to conventional stance he would've knocked Benavidez out in half the time.

That said PAC in his prime about 8-10 years ago I would heavily favor to stop Crawford.

 

Never underestimate the heart of a legend!

 

Yes

 

This was a great crossroads fight about three years back but its gone past that now and I think Crawford would steamroller Pacquiao now.

If Pacquiao did manage to pull it off though it might be the best win by a fighter in his forties of all time.

 

I'd back Crawford on points, but then never write Manny off as he still has that speed and power.

 

Yes, it matters if he wants to win. Sometimes your higher rated guys go for the win and leave themselves open more. A survivor will cover up.

 

probably but its an unfair matchup, why call it, manny is an old man now.

 

I disagree completely. Mosley in my opinion hits infinitely harder than Crawford. Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Marquez, De La Hoya all hit harder.

Manny would also be the hardest and fastest puncher Crawford has faced. I really rate Crawford, but not sure who he's knocked out to rate him so much as a puncher.

 

Could Crawford last 12 rounds against a Prime Pac ?

 

Of course he could. Pac >>> Benavidez (and Benavidez nearly did with just one leg)

 

Crawford is overrated, Pacquiao still lights him up which is why Bob never made the fight.

 

Would be a good fight, I would not pick a winner.
