    Manny beats all of them but I think I'd like to see him against Garcia.

    It's a nightmare styles match up for Pacquiao. Crawford holds many physical advantages over him. As far as the Gamboa fight, Crawford dove face first into his punch and recovered in a matter of seconds. Stop the nonsense!

    Garcia, he will absolutely batter him, he'll knock Khan out in 6, too soon for Crawford.

    Those are some good opponents. I think Crawford gives him the most trouble and could possibly beat him depending on how much Manny's declined.

    I think another year of seasoning (hoping Crawford fights Lucas) and I think Crawford beats Pacquiao, possibly now depending on what pacquiao we see its not a smart comeback fight for Manny Crawford timing is going to be the key

    I also think Khan is a bad matchup for Pacquiao as well so Crawford & Khan, Garcia he should beat

    I'd love to see a fight with Khan. Highly doubt it will happen though.

    Khan hopefully, because 100% certain will be Khan and his Bambi on ice routine before getting KTFO.

    Here's my personal break down...

    Khan - Khan, size-wise, is a threat to Pacquiao; but that's where it ends. His hand speed will be nearly matched by Pac's, I think I'd favor Khan to be slightly faster. Pacquiao can close distance well and he will find Khan's chin. I think Khan ultimately looks good in spots, boxing from the outside and moving, but I doubt he sustains long enough to pick up a decision. Khan's defensive awareness is poor, a little better with Virgil but not enough to call him reformed. I think Pacquiao either wins by KO or a wide decision due to multiple knockdowns. This is Pac-Algieri all over again.

    Garcia - By far the easiest and yet, almost most dangerous. Garcia will be easy for Pacquiao to outbox. His in and out movement, jab, experience, and power will Garcia confused. Pacquiao isn't as slick as Herrera or Peterson, but he's much better. Garcia needs a flat footed opponent to flourish, his poor timing will be the death of him in this fight. I think Garcia is the most dangerous because he's the biggest puncher of the 3 options. If he can catch Pac, and that's a big IF, there's a possibility he could stun him long enough to capitolize on it. I still don't see that happening. Garcia is sturdy enough to make it 12 but too slow and unskilled to win a decision. Punchers chance but... Pacquiao by wide decision, almost like Pac-Rios.

    Crawford - This is my favorite match up because Crawford, IMO, is the most skilled of the 3 options. He's not as quick as Khan but he has superior timing. He's not a strong as Garcia but he's exceptionally defensive. Barring his chin getting cracked (which is suspect to me), I think he has the talents to box Pacquiao to a close decision. Now whether the fight is at 140 or 147 is key, I like Crawford's odds at 140, only because I don't know how he stacks up at 147. Gamboa was able to briefly hurt him so no doubt Pac will. I like Crawford and want to see him tested.
