Prime Manny Pacquiao could've destroyed Crawford

Pacquiao at his best beats him convincingly in my opinion.

Crawford has not faced anywhere near the calibre of fighter to show he can hang with a prime Manny.

 

Crawford is a horrible styles match up for pac at 147. A long strong switch hitting psychopath with power in both hands a great powerful jab quick feet great reflexes who can counter with a high ring iq who can make adjustments. He also has a good chin and stamina. You're high AF if you think pac destroys Crawford.

 

We would have to agree to disagree on those decisions either way & the first fight most if not all had it for Pacquiao wide including the whole HBO crew for what it's worth, the second fight was the one more mixed.

 

Pac struggled versus counter punchers his whole career. Morales, JMM, Floyd, and later on Ugas. Pac def couldve dominated Crawford but the fight likely wouldve been very competitive and I'm not sure who wins.

And it wasnt just me that felt that way...Roach opted NOT to take the fight following the Postol loss (Roach trained Viktor at that time).

 

Few knowledgeable boxing peeps had any of their fights wide.

Pacman edged it even though JMM won 7-9 rounds...but thatll happen because of 4 KDs!!

Pac was so overrated. Nothing more than a crude swarmer.

 

Could've.

 

I also think so. I think Pacquio is too aggressive and quick for him. Sure Manny would get countered but he would take some hits but land more on Crawford and bust him up. I’m not as impressed with Crawford as so many others seem to be. Mayweather would also outpoint Crawford.
