    I think you are remembering what Manny was instead of what he is. A 38 year old welterweight surrounded by young strong fast fighters. I don't believe he'll fight Crawford , Spence , Brook or any young top 4 or5 guy. Loma might be a possibility since he wouldn't be able to hurt Manny, as you said just embarrass him. Like he did to DeLahoya

    Manny wouldn't fight him if he beat his mother, him ,Thurman ,Porter , or any young top guys.

    Manny may not have the speed he once had, but he still has power which is the last thing to leave an aging fighter.

    Sure that does not carry through to welter but if he fought once again at 135 which is Crawford's ideal weight, he'd absolutely flatten Crawford and break his skull in process.

    Manny hasn't stopped anybody in over 6 years, 13 fights ago. So no.

    That's because he's been figting huge welterweights. Crawford isn't a welterweight, he is a skinny boy who at 135lbs has shown that he possesses a questionable chin.

    Gamboa, who is 7 inches tall, had Crawford almost out on his feet.

    It's within the realm of possibility that Manny stops Crawford.

    Gamboa didn't have him out on his feet! And 135 is not Crawford's ideal weight, and at 140-47 Pacquaio would have a better shot at a KO hitting him over the head with a "CRATE", rather then stopping him by punches!

    Crawford seems like the most likely choice both are top Rank fighters so the fight could be made easily.

    Stop with this myth it's nonsense. He didn't have him out on his feet. Was he buzzed yes but out on his feet he wasn't. Stop spreading this lie if you continue to do this it shows you have no credibility and can't be taken serious.

    Just like you said Kovalev would do to Ward right? What do you know about boxing? LMFAO!

    Buzzed is just a euphemism for out on his feet, his legs were completely gone.

    Yes I predicted Kovalev would knock Ward down and win, which he did.

    I agree, And I think Crawford needs the big push to his career that Pac would give. He's 1 fight away from holding all 4 major titles and, certainly here in UK, not a huge name.
    Unify 140, move up to WW and face Pac. Great way for him to raise his profile and go up P4P rankings.
