    What’s “dumb” is denying what you see clearly in front of you because you cling to nostalgic ideas that can be neither proven or disproven. Manny was great, but he was clearly beaten multiple times by dudes Bud beats damn near to death. I’m not discrediting Manny, Crawford is just as great but bigger/stronger/smarter.

    It will be tough fight for Manny. Will vote for him out of respect.

    Pacquiao in 2009 is still better than the version that got slept by a roided Marguez. We know he lost a few steps after Margarito.
    Its possible bud times him though. I also can see Pacs speed and angles bother him a lot and win a lot of rounds.

    No the question is how would they do against each other at their peak.

    I hate saying this but I think this is a bad matchup for even a prime Pac. Or is Pac a bad matchup for Crawford.

    God what a fight.

    What a fight. I can't call it.

    Actually I think I do lean towards Crawford. I think he would eventually find his target with his bombs and I think they would start taking fight altering effects at some point that would ensure Crawford gets the W.

    But it would be an amazing matchup. I don't count Pac out.

    Crawford is better, Manny was defeated several times, he is overrated and he lost to the old Mayweather...

    That's a tough question. That's why I ask the question how would Crawford do against Pac's opposition. Which I think, is a legit question when assisting a fight between TC and MP.

    How many HOF did Spence beat? He has not beaten any HOF in his entire boxing career. Floyd beat 4 HOF while Pac he beat a total of 14 HOF.

    In 2015, when he was also old.

    That's also Mayweather. You couldn't write that Pac off against anybody.

    Damn, prime Pac was a force of nature. Anything is possible but I ain’t betting against prime Pac. Good fight though, tough for both guys.

    It's crazy how one fight switched all these opinions & made millions of voices disappear instantly as i cant seem to find those flooded comments any wear no more,

    Ohh & Pacquaio after being off more than two years got switched onto Ugas & never looked that bad & made it very close but with Spence theirs now all sorts of reasons even from his trainer Derrick about how his timing was off & how the 12 plus months off was hindering but not for the guy who was out double that time nearing the age of 43 its laughable,

    This is the same trainer who made fun of Pacquaio losing to Ugas due to his own fighter pulling out at the last second instead of being graceful that Manny even gave you the opportunity at all, pathetic.

    Yeah their so called great took forever getting into the ring with him only to evade & pitty patt while getting caught juicing himself after years of false allegations, i remember at that time no one was putting their hands up to fight that Pacquiao,

    But yeah sure Crawford now just runs through Pacquiao..........right.

    Lets see.. in 2008 just a year earlier, Pac went life and death with a very good but small Juan Manuel Marquez who counter punched him to death. Then in 2011, two years after this '2009 Pac', he got knocked cold by him.

    Bud wins.
