Terrance BUD Crawford vs Manny PACMAN Pacquaio seems likely at 140

Pac dominates. I thought he looked very sharp against Floyd. Not since Judah has Floyd been countered like that and Pac did it with a much shorter reach. Lets not forget he just made Algeiri look like a baby and we know from Algeiri's fights with Khan and Prov that he's no slouch as people made out to be.

 

I disagree. Crawford is a lot more versatile than Bradley.

Superior boxer on the outside, can switch to southpaw to give Manny an unfamiliar look, a little quicker and more powerful than Bradley.

I do consider them roughly equal levels of fighter overall, though, mainly because of Bradley's intangibles.

Stylistically, however, there wouldn't be much resemblance between the match-ups.

 

The only really spectacular performances from Pac in the last 5 years have been Algieri, Rios & Bradley II.

The former two were cookie-cutter stylistic gimmes for Pac, and the latter is someone he already had 12 rounds of scouting on (and the judges gave him more than a couple of "make-up" rounds, IMO the rematch was closer than many want to admit) - plus, as said above, Crawford and Bradley aren't really that similar.

The performances against Mayweather, Bradley I, Marquez II & III, and Mosley are more telling here. That kind of performance won't cut it with Bud, who is more squarely in his prime than any of the above save Bradley...and up there in terms of speed with faded Mosley & Mayweather, and in ring IQ and timing with Mayweather & Marquez.

 

this fight could happen and it will be a good one. pac said he will fight until he can so all up and coming stars should already be challenging him for a good win and experience rather than waiting for him to get shot.

 

Very tough fight for manny. Theres been rumours about them getting it on but i just dont see it happening.

 

i dont see crawford being able to handle pacquiaos speed and power

 

Crawford will win by any means necessary.

 

First of all, this fight is never going to happen.

Secondly, unofficially, Pacquaio outlanded Mayweather, landed the harder punches, threw more punches, and hurt Mayweather.

To an unbiased observer, like Evander Holyfield for instance, Pacquaio won that fight.

So if Pacquaio can unofficially beat Mayweather and get robbed, what makes you think he would lose to Crawford?

I mean, I understand that Pacquaio probably wouldn't get up for Crawford because honestly, who's Crawford?

Most people don't know and most people hardly care.

Crawford hasn't fought anyone, with the exception of Gamboa, who was coming off a long lay off.

Where is the demand for this fight? Who has Crawford beat to say he's ready?

There are levels to this game. Honestly, Crawford was going neck and neck with Dulourme before he knocked him out, which wasn't the first time Dulorme's been knocked out.

So, if people think Pacquaiou would lose to Crawford, and easily, they must not think much of Mayweather or they think Crawford carries enough clout to run around the ring, land less punches, flinch, and have his father call him a coward, yet still win the fight.

Remember, Crawford actually comes to fight. Crawford isn't going to get on his bike, run scared, and then yell, "Strap me up!," like he's hard afterwards.

Use logic.

 

If he had surgery it was to pretend something was wrong with him
Chances are it was a minor surgery for some **** he ****ed up years ago

I dislocated my shoulder 9 years ago. If I got beat up I would just have surgery to fix it and say it's the reason I lost the fight I dislocated it the day before


Nobody would believe me though

 

This ---> .

I meant going by Crawford's present form, and Pac's last month.

 

Based on?

 

No, there's no chance that's the case. Because, if it was, then USADA is lying and would lose its credibility. Pacquiao would be going through rehabilitation and be sidelined for something nonexistent, and a doctor would lose his license for lying to the public, health insurance company, hospital, and medical records.

So, no. No chance that is the case.

 

he was hurt against gamboa

pacquaio>>> gamboa

plus at 140 pacquiao will be fresher, faster and a harder hitter

 

Define "hurt". I don't remember Gamboa ever being on the verge of anything with Crawford.

I don't remember him being any more hurt than, say, Pacquiao was against Larios...

 

Dude, Crawford is no Bradley, or vice versa. Crawford is on another level and MEAN.
