Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao vs. Terence Allan Crawford

Crawford wide decision

 

Crawford was there to be hit against that Lithuanian ... I mean...he got tuned up good in some of those rounds. Legit knocked down for the first time in his career despite that ref doing everything to whitewash the impossible that was happening.

I can't forget that.

Pac is far, far , far deadlier than the Lithuanian offensively. He's going to get hit multiple of those left hand rockets that Pac's opponents never see coming and then he's hitting the canvas. Once Crawford hits the canvas he fights like a mad dog....and that's how he could become road kill.

I think Crawford is the best fighter in the division. He beats Spence fairly easily. Handles Garcia and Porter without trouble. Pac is the curveball for him. Even old Pac....

 

Props to Pacquiao for facing the top guys into his 40s.

 

Pacs offensive vs Crawford's counterpunching ........ Damn tough one

 

Counterpunching is not Pac's bread and butter, BUT he's an excellent counterpuncher as well. This fact gets severely overlooked.

Look at all the dudes who pressure him—they get hurt or dropped.

 

Nobody beats Pacquiao easily. I have never seen anyone doing that to him before. Have you ever seen anyone beating him easily?

 

After being hurt in his last fight (Crawford) I believe Pac-Man can do the same but finish Crawford. Manny is awkward and can make things uncomfortable for Crawford with hand and leg speed. To me it’s an interesting fight.

 

I'll be rooting for Pacquiao if it happens, but you cant ubderestimate Bud's youth and ability to adjust. I really hope the fight happens.

 

I agree. He did it to himself however via lackluster performances against decent yet unremarkable competition.

 

Pac by utter destruction

 

This is an interesting match-up fight.

 

Im the biggest Pac fan going but even I can see that this is a passing of the torch fight. He has no chance. Bud by decision. Too big, too long, not ashamed to run away to a points decision either. Judges will rob Pac too if Arum wants- like Bradley, Horn.

 

Pacquiao will batter the charisma-less Crawford.. Pacquiao is on another level than these overrated belt holders

 

Current crop of welterweights are pushing 30 and ain't fighting each other to see who's the best. Give us one more good year Pac and retire as the unified champ without passing on the torch.

They can then fight for the vacant belts afterwards as you ride off into the sunset.
