    At this stage of Pac's career, Crawford wins by UD...

    I guess I'm the only one that thought the difference between the Pac that fought Bradley and the Pac that fought Vargas was night and day. Bradley is a much trickier fighter and Pac beat his A$$ pretty good. Vargas is a one trick (or punch) pony IMO and Pac should have embarrassed him. Instead it was a pretty boring fight in which Vargas didn't look to worse for the wear after. I think Pac could still be good if he would concentrate on boxing. I still favor Pac in this fight but it's purely because I'm a fan. Logically, I would pick Crawford.

    If you are an ATG like Pac, you can be competitive or even beat guys while being shot. Still, if Pac beats Crawford, I don't think he'd be shot, I don't think Crawford would lose to a shot Pacquiao. Pac has looked kind of shot though, he is not that exciting anymore. He comes forward and all but it's just not the same hungry fighter.

    He's not beating Crawford today, but he'd make it very interesting.

    i would say its all up to pac, how the fight goes. his speed, reflexes and stamina still appear to be good enough to keep pace with crawford, he has the edge in power, experience and competition. all thats missing is the focus and intensity that he used to fight with... and i think thats mostly mental.

    At 135 lbs. Dejan Zlaticanin destroys Pac in less than 3 rounds.

    Crawford stops a 2017 Pac.

    Fairly unanimous view that Crawford wins this. Pac would lose and lose big.
