    I think Crawford is better and more complete than Mosley and cotto but then again thats just my opinion. Mosley was not a thinking mans fighter and could be outboxed. Cotto wasn't that durable and always found a way to lose big fights.

    Crawford has the footwork and the ability to fight pac tall behind his jab and he's very athletic himself. He's also not featherfisted and pac wouldn't walk through his shots. He would give pac different looks by switching stances he has a good ring iq much better than a prime pac who was limited more one demisional and reckless. Later in his career had a much higher ring iq and became a thinking mans fighter.

    This is true, Pacquiao developed a lot of hard-won intuitive nous through years of experience, but my cut-off point wouldn't be as late as yours. It's tempting to think of KO6 as the dividing line between 'dumb' Pac and 'smart' Pac, but that could be tantamount to holding a brilliantly prepared, intimately acquainted, highly specialized and extraordinarily driven Marquez against him. The smart and the experienced still make mistakes - Pac just paid for his in the most fatal way.

    Cotto is no dummy in the ring, and Pacquiao outsmarted him in many ways, more than just outspeeding him. There was a lot of guile in that performance. Not to say that Crawford ends up being a sucker, but more that there would be something of an IQ stalemate wherein Pacquiao's seasoned industry and more dynamic talent level would make the difference in more rounds than not. In that case, I think the burden of finding answers would tilt toward Terence. I see him having similar problems to Bradley, but with a more focused version of Pacquiao in front of him. He could present some of the fundaments of outboxing Manny, but come up short in so far as mounting consistent, eye-catching offense.

    Exactly. The hype around this guy by certain pukes on here is laughable. Dude drains down from 180lbs too. Lol I’d like to know Crawford’s fight night weight while at 140.
