    So do I. Which is why I wish Floyd had of fought Khan as well, he would have probably ended his career with a KO win, and he'd of finally shut the Brits up on here about Khan. Although they're so delusional....on second thought they'd still be hyping him.

    Pac would get schooled by Crawford. His fundamentals would be a problem for ANY version of Pacman.

    Pac by ko depending on what he has left, if hes slipped since the Joy fight then Pac UD.

    Crawford is a good fighter, very good techn ician but he is over hyped and i cant put my finger on it but there is something missing which will see him fall short at elite level imo.

    His resume for a 2 weight world chsampion is far from p4p calibre.

    Not all of us:good

    Im from Bolton, hes not very well liked in his home town to be honest.

    I cant wait till he steps up and gets KTFO again.

    Crawford knocks the midget out. Hope they make this happen.

    Pacquiao by close decision. He'll be staying active only for the last 30 seconds of each round, which would allow steal some of them.

    Pacquiao would be a problem for Crawford, Pacquiao's not Jean. Honestly I think it's a pick em.

    Crawford is a longer, slicker and more versatile version of Marquez. I don't give Pac much of a chance against him.

    Well based on Arum's recent interview, April will be Pacman's last fight so I don't think Crawford would have enough time to fight Postol beforehand.

    I do agree with you on Pacman either stopping him late or winning by a wide UD margin. The only style that really gave Pacman trouble was MAyweather's, and luckily for him Crawford fights nothing like FLoyd and is pretty much there to be hit whenever Pacman wants to.

    Pacman is too quick, too experienced and way too strong for someone like Terrance. i don't buy into the notion that he's somehow washed up after losing to Mayweather in a fight where neither guy really got hurt.

    You don't just come off an injury and instantly fight a P4P fighter. Pac should do a tune up first to see how things are working out for him. Then again he's Pac, the dude fights whoever is put in front of him, in which case I'd pick him to beat Crawford. But it's a fairly big risk.

    Diego Chaves for a solid tune up, Crawford in fall, and Thurman vs Brook winner early next year could be a great route to retire.

    I could see Crawford trying to impose his will, skill, speed etc. on Pac and Pac making him pay for it dearly. I don't like Pac but he's a beast when you're pressuring him which is what TC likes to do. And if he doesn't pressure Pac then it becomes my skill, speed, and timing against yours, in which case, I still like Pac's experience here.

    Khan is too inconsistent, getting KO'd by Danny Garcia and worked by Algieri did not help his case negotiating with Floyd

    I think Crawford has the skills to be competitive with Pac but he's prone to get hit with big shots. Jean landed some huge right hands REPEATEDLY, and against Pac he'll go down. Gamboa also tagged him real good.

    But if Crawford doesn't get too far behind early, which he will lose the early rounds, I think he'll be able to adjust and beat Pacquiao by split decision.

    It's a fight I'd love to see as a fan of both fighters.

    Pac in his prime would win I think, but today's pac isn't enough for a hungry, mean, powerful, fast and technically sound boxer like Crawford. I think Craword would also give today's floyd all sorts of problems.
