Let's say Pac beats Algieri, and Crawford moves up to 140 to fight him. Who would win? Could Crawford beat a faded Pac with his switch-hitting and boxing ability?
Its a lose-lose fight for Pacquiao,,... Crawford knows how to use his advantages and you won't know how much is left on Pacquiao,,... He'll play pro basketball soon, and that's gonna take away so much from him,,... Not to mention he's a part time boxer right now,,... And when he wins, those haters of him will just accuse him of cherry picking,,... I mean, he fought 17 current and former world champs out of 18, how is that cherry picking???
Wait, Boxrec says Pacquiao's WBO WW title will be on the line. It doesn't say anything about Algieri's JWW title. So, even if Algieri loses, Crawford could move up to 140 and fight him.
True. If Crawford survives the early onslaught before making his adjustments, he'll win or lose a close split decision that'll be hotly debated.
Yeah I agree. But I doubt he's survive and Pac's no fraud like glass chin Gamboa. Crawford isn't just gonna KO Pacquiao like that.
Crawford has a nice skill set and a win over Gamboa at 135 is excellent for anyone, especially a young fighter who is still mastering his craft. However, he has yet to fight at 140 what more at 147? He has been fighting in a weight class were fighters have a smaller frame than him which would be negated once he goes up in weight. If Gamboa whom tends to slow down as the fight goes on and has had only 3 fights in the last 3 years had enough to tag TC and even hurt him at times, what more could a season veteran with power in both hands, speed and stamina unlike anything Terence has encountered possibly do to him? Pacquiao Vargas's the boy.
Yea he isn't KO'ing Pac. I'd favor Pac 115-113, with Pac winning the first 5 or 6 rounds. And if Pac scores a KD, it's pretty much sealed. Crawford ain't ready.
I forgot Gamboa tagged him at one point and wobbled him. Pac probably scores a knock down. The only way I think Crawford stands a chance is if he's a natural 147 pounder, which right now, he's not.
