I'm sorry, crawford will mop the floor with pac!..pac needs to stay clear

Idk, I might actually favor Pacquiao at this point. But I like Crawford's chances.

 

I think Pacquiao can win if he's motivated.

But that's a big "if".

I don't question much about his ability and enduring talent, but without hunger or drive Crawford is risky territory.

 

If you think Jean is a more difficult opponent for Crawford than Pac then I completely understand why you have such a interesting perspective about a potential fight between TC and PAC.

Manny has a very underrated defensive game....just take his stats of punches landed on him against guys like Floyd and JMM...Floyd landed at an all time low against Pac, under 33%....Floyd typically lands at a much higher connect percentage. Crawford is a very good counter puncher but against guys who are much slower and are far less active.

The problem in facing a very unorthodox style in what Pac brings to the ring is that typical counter punching doesn't work as well, coupled with speed, explosiveness and superior power leads me to believe Crawford is not in a position to really pose the kind of threat that would see him beating Manny....even at this stage of Manny's career.

I like Terrance a lot but am not disillusioned about his capabilities against guys like Manny or Floyd who are operating with superior talents and skill sets very few have in the sweet science.

 

After Pac beats Craw Flow Moose will say Craw is $h|t LOL

 

Tim never was in either of those fights with Pac. He was given a gift in the 1st fight and was completely controlled and dominated in the rematch. I'm still in a state of confusion from the few who claim Tim actually deserved the "win" over Pac in their initial meeting but it comes with the territory being at the level Manny is at.

Pac definitely Is not as fast or explosive as he was in his prime but he had moments where he flashed his speed and explosiveness of old....it's just no longer as consistent. And his performances over the last few years prove that much.

Cotto wasn't weight drained at 145 knowing his history. He came in at 146 for his fight months earlier with Josh, but it was an easy excuse to latch on to for fans of Cotto and haters of Manny to discredit the win. The sheer domination over Cotto was a lot to accept but it was a magnificent performance that Manny gets a ton of credit for in retrospect.

JMM and Pac always had extremely close fights aside from the 4th fight which Pac was pretty much dominating outside of the KD and highlight reel knockout that shocked the world. I mean.......even though JMM got the win in dramatic fashion it was Juan who was busted up, battered and broken before landing that perfect counter punch at the end of the 6th.

Pac could have been on PEDs....however it was never proven nor was there any smoking gun linking Floyd’s accusations to the "truth"....if you really give Floyd’s rumors any credence about Manny being dirty?

Floyd’s recent heat with the positive urine samples and retrospective IV administration of fluids is a lot more damning than Floyd’s opinion about Pac he never could prove after all these years.

Crawford is a young lion......and styles do make fights. Only this fight isn't in the jungle where a lion is King. .....it would be a fight in the ocean where Pac is a Great White and Terrance, although a young lion is in the kingdom of a old but still capable shark.

 

What would Provo, Matthysse,Postol, or Amir iaam do to Jean or Dolorme at 140?

 

Everyone SAYS these kind of things about that guy, this guy, &!them. Never fail. Yet.....Pacman a **"proven commodity"!
Crawford is good. Wound not mind it seeing him try and come thru Tim Bradley.

 

Dang! I wish I could talk like that!
