REED:mj:

 

bring on crawford vs pacquiao

 

He did in fact, it just had no effect

Damn Crawford is good. To me he is underrated since he isn't flashy but he has exceptional technical skill, granite chin, good punch and ring smarts. It is still early, but he is on his way of becoming a truly great fighter

 

crawfords chin aint granite. we will see how he fairs against 140 guys who can crack

 

Yes, at 143.33333333lb recurring, in 240 degree heat and 234 per cent humidity in down-town Manila during the Feast of the Virgin Most Holy Rosary Voodoo Doll, with no Olympic testing.

 

C'mon man.

 

I'd love to see Mikey Garcia and Crawford first though.

 

Modern guys can be good too. I am not saying he is the new Pernell or Duran, but he is much better than his reputation right now

 

He is pretty solid and had a great year.
