    Best go and get a second opinion.........

    You get booted for a while and normality returns to the forum.

    What do you do upon your return?.....create a thread in the wrong forum AGAIN and recommence pissing people off.

    It's not ****ing rocket science.

    He does it on purpose then plays the innocent. I've been onto his game a loooong time. I tried to help him at first but he just played me more than once. I'm done now. I'm telling you BC it's an act and he does it on purpose

    Crawford is slowly convincing me he is in an all-time great in the making with punishing style from close range to a far distance. He hits with accuracy, speed, and power. The versitaltiy of his punches and tactics is impressive, HOWEVER, he needs to fight better completion quickly.

    He's got the style to press and beat Manny or out box him from long range, I'll say that but I need to see bit more. I haven't seen Crawford hit hard yet. He could have a Roy Jones like chin, and if he moves up to say 154, could be had.

    At age 31, ( 32 in September 2019 ) his time is now.

    As for Manny, his KO's stopped at 147 pounds for the most part. What does he have 2 stoppages in 16 fights at welterweight? I think so. Might that change some picks here? Hardly a power hitter at 147. A power hitter in the lower weights only.

    Posters should. I think some of you posts are a bit out there, but as long as you keep it clean, that's fine by me.

    Crawford hasn't done anything in his career that suggest he could've beaten Pac in 2009. Plus he's a smallish welter and his physic suggest he probably should be fighting at Jr.welter/ lightweight . Until Crawford defeats some real world class opponents, I'm in Pac's corner in 2009.

    Crawford has a better KO ratio at welter than Manny had and he`s bigger and longer than Pac was also.

    Antman, you gotta have rocks in your head if you think that Crawfords 3 fights at welterweight compares to peak 09/10 welterweight Pacquiao. Crawford has beaten Benavidez, Horn and Khan at welterweight and that’s it and so you gotta be on crack to think that is better than peak welterweight Pacman thrashing with ease the likes of Cotto, Clottey, Margarito and Mosley.

    I was comparing their power at 147, nobody has lasted the distance v Bud at welter, Clottey, Mosley and Margarito all went the full 12 v Manny.

    Crawford has fought 3 fights at Welterweight, How many times does that have to repeated to you? Repeat after me, Benavidez, Horn and Khan and that’s it! You cannot compare beating them 3 against the fighters that peak welterweight Pacquiao fought. Not in ability or durability so it’s pointless to keep saying the stats says that beating Benavidez, Horn and Khan proves Crawford must hit harder and is better than Pacquiao was in 2009/10.

    If you can’t understand something as simple as that then you gotta be banned again.
