Crawford wins high difficulty. He's a vicious counter puncher with good fundamentals, great at analyzing the habits of the opponent vs a a guy with leaky defense who is constantly bouncing and lunging in and out with no fear firing a high volume of shots. At some point, maybe even as early as the 3rd round, Crawford would time Pac with something big and make him hesitate. The more he forces Pac to think, the more one sided it becomes. Crawford eventually picks him apart and stops him within 9-10 rounds in a blistering matchup.
Pacquiao speed both on hands & feet & punching power would bust Crawford up.marquez Is one of the greatest mexican boxers of all time with a great chin to boot but still lost 2 of 4 of his fights to Pacquiao with the first being a draw.marquez won their 4th fight by ko but paƧquiao was 35 & had slowed down enough to be hit by a.clean shot he never even seen coming.we are talking both fighters in their prime & Pacquiao in his prime destroyed some great boxer way better opponents than Crawford has ever fought.
No way.amy good boxer can look great. Fighting half ass fighters.pacquiao fought & defeated great fighters his quick fist & feet is the reason for this.his 4 fights with Marquez are legendary fights Mayweather known to be a great counter puncher knew enough to avoid Pacquiao like the plague for 7 years until at 36 he saw that Pacquiao had slowed down enough to fight him.mo great boxer avoids another great boxer Floyd did.
Prime Pac I would say was around 2010 vs Bud Crawford current. Pac 1. In 2010 Pacman stepped into the ring at 148 lb against a 165 lb Margarito and destroyed him to say the least. What a difference a fight makes when there are no Loaded potatoes. 2. Pac had wins over Sugar Shane, JMM and a controversial loss on the cards with Desert Storm Bradley. Bud 1. Bud just beat Spence to become undisputed. Let me say that again, He beat Spence. Let that sink in for a moment. Spence has more car accidents in the last 3 years then fights. The exact ratio is 3 to 1. 2. Refer back to number 1. Manny would destroy Crawford TKO 9
Crawford W via MD. H2H & stylistically Crawford is very problematic for Pacquiao at any stage of his career. He's very versatile & can adapt to any style on the fly. He'd eventually figure Pacquiao out after a couple of rounds then outbox him. However, he definitely doesn't destroy him like some are saying. It'll still be a tough fight.
The steroid stigma, hangs over all of these mythical fights of the last 30 years or so. Add to the above any featuring Holyfield, Fury, Mayweather, Jones, Tyson, Alvarez, the list is endless!
No problem with the Pac pick, but Spence had 2 x fights in the 3 years preceding the Crawford contest.
Well if it wasent for you Greg the phrase " Buzz kill" wouldent exist. Ugas actually scored the first unofficial knockdown against Spence when the ropes kept him up.
Spence was not a half assed fighter, he was a prime undefeated unified champion and Crawford picked him apart and made it look easy. Pac would be easy work.
