    Fair enough, didn't realise that. Sounds like Pac still isn't keen on that match-up after listening to the post fight interview.

    Pac is probably still too good and fast for Crawford

    Negative.

    Crawford would stop the current Pac.

    I don't think so. Garcia was able to find a home for his right hand at times. I'm sure Crawford can improve on that quite a bit. (among other things)

    Never in my life did I imagine I'd find a Hearn I disliked more than Barry Hearn. Absolutely detest that cunt. Yet here we are, with his wonderful cunt of a son...

    Barry Hearn was the pits! Even his son isn't as bad.

    Last night's version of Pacquiao gets lit up by TC, but I mean SERIOUS...

    Manny's reflexes and upper body movement appear to be almost gone. And his best asset, his hand speed, has slowed down too.

    I'd put money on Crawford either stopping him or giving him a serious beating for 12 rounds.

    lol. You are severly overrating Crawford. We're talking about a guy who fought like he was against a young mike Tyson when he faced Postol, Prescott and Beltran. Every time he fce someone who can punch a bit, he fight ultra defensively (except against midget Gamboa) At the very best, he would put hos track shoes on, and cautiously outpoint Pac, but even then, I don't think he's good enough to do it. Midget ass Gamboa was able to tag him at will before Crawford size wore him down. If Pac's landing as much, he'll ko him.

    Pac hasn't scored a KO in 7 years my friend. If absolute fucking BUMS like Algeri, Vargas, and Rios are going 12 with him, how in the world is he gonna stop an elite fighter like Crawford?

    09 Pac does a number on TC, I'll admit. The Pac of the Hatton fight stops Crawford.

    But the Pac of 2016 is literally a shell of his 09 self.

    Whether or not Crawford stops him in his debatable. But I think at the very least Crawford puts a good deal of hurt on him, and wins in clear fashion.

    yeah, you're right, Pac won't ko him. But he would probably put him in a shell and wins a clear decision. And Crawford stopping him is not really debatable. There is nothing in Crawford career that suggest he has the mindset and the power to ko even this diminished version of Pac.

    He wouldn't have to KO Pac in order to win. He'd outbox him. He'd definitely hurt him. Manny leaves himself wide open at times when he comes in, but guys like Vargas and Algeri are slow, and a guy like Bradley has no power.

    Crawford is both quick enough to catch him, and powerful enough to hurt him.

    If that fight ever happen, I'd bet you that he won't. Crawford is rapidly becoming the most overrated fighter in boxing. He's good, but I think he's a notch below the elite
