    Can you name the Bud fights when all of these bothered him?

    Do you guys remember that one move Pac did where he walks forward fast, while punching, crossing his feet, looking like he's swimming with no water. That's a big no, no yet he got away with it. He would lunge all the time too, that would get him annihilated against Crawford. His southpaw style doesn't really give him any advantages either.

    Most likely he walks into something big like he did with JMM.

    This thread about 2009 Pac. That version of Pac had an iron chin.

    They sure are living in the moment, plus when one guy is force claimed to be great even when unproven then i guess beating him equals to beating 2009 Pacquiao whoa.

    2009 Manny was lightening quick, Unmatched head movement, the best foot work for his time, had a solid chin, did things that fighter still cant do nor can replicate who also wasn't the part timer politician who barely strength conditioned & stayed in the gym,

    It would be a good fight no doubt full of action on the same level of Pac/Cotto in which he would leave Crawford befuddled & spinning,

    Crawford is quicker in comparison to Spence but next to Pacquiao he will look more heavy & not so quick witted especially by that 2009 Pac.

    Just saw a post asking floyd vs bud. They’re both better than Crawford but he beats them because of the size difference.

    Jesus ****ing Christ the state of this forum.

    Crawford beats a drained car crash victim who has frankly looked mediocre in his last few fights and peaked 3 years ago.

    That’s his best win…this guy has weight bullied for years at 135-40 heck he looks big at 147lbs. Yet drained Spence, getting rocked by Kavaliauskas , and being saved a decision by Porters dad are his key 147lbs highlights.

    **** me this forum gets dumber by the week

    I’d slightly favor Manny. He would not be walking straight in with no movement like Spence. He’s got faster feet, faster hands and would be a blur. Doesn’t mean he wipes him out, but he would catch him enough times to have Crawford tentative. Manny was used to fighting taller guys so that wouldn’t be much of an issue, Crawford’s ability to move though would be troubling. It’s a close fight either way.

    Spence is better than anyone Manny or Floyd has ever fought
