Terence Crawford vs Manny Pacquiao possible for June 5th

we shall see considering the age difference it’ll be pretty embarrassing on Crawford’s part taking an L but idk man this smell of him selling his 0 rather take that L for mega Pac-Man money then for Spence money

 

Not gonna happen. Pac does not want to go out on a loss.

 

Barely have time for this place anymore but if this fight comes off and somehow Manny wins it then putting forth the argument that it lifts Floyd‘s legacy literally comes off like swinging on PAC’s nuts. Styles make fights, resumes make fighters. And don’t call me no damn fan boy I’m neutral

 

Will fighting a non-entity Youtuber elevate PBF ,while Manny(as usual) takes on real challenges ...

 

It wasnt that he couldnt handle his physicality its that he was too nice fighting a guy who was just trying to rough him up and foul. Pac fouls right back instead of looking at the ref or doing nothing about it he forces the ref to do something.

 

A shot pbf schooled pac almost a half a decade ago his legacy gets greater the more pac wins. Pbf is fighting these exhibitions for easy money.

 

I don't dispute that your arguments are persuasive.

Nevertheless I believe the very best version of Mayweather, however one defines that highly subjective caveat, is better than the very best version of Pac.

No version of Pac knocks Mayweather out. Is it conceivable that the power punching Filipino earns a decision? I suppose.

But if Floyd adopted a "safety first" approach, particularly younger Floyd, his athleticism, legendary elusiveness/escapability, and sublime ring IQ ensure that he would finish just about any fight on his feet and in command of his faculties.

 

This is lose-lose for Crawford. If he loses, we can say I told you so, he wasn't much. If he wins against an old Pac, the story will be he beat an old man like Marciano beat Louis.

However the one thing that will be a winner will be Buds bank account.

 

Pac has 1 KO in the past 10 years, fighting high level opposition the KOs should decrease but still it's hard to imagine going from that to stopping Bud.

 

Rios, Algieri, Margarito, and Horn could all have been TKO victories and no one would have argued.

So 5 KOs in the last decade?

Seems like Pac has to legit sleep a guy to get a KO victory.

 

True.
But Pac also hurts pretty much everyone he fights.
During that dry spell, Pac has scored a ridiculous amount of knockdowns.

 

Had Thurman ever been down before?

 

Yes. But not in the last decade or so.
However, a lot of guys hurt him at one point or another. Lopez, Collazo, Diaz, Porter, Karass and a few more.

 

I thought Josecito did but apparently I was wrong, he was only down once in what sounds like an entertaining fight with a journeyman. KDs in every round before Thurman scored finished him in the third.

A googling says it was not a flash KD he was badly hurt.

 

Great fight im up for it. Been waiting years for this one. Im hoping it does happen
