Manny Pacquiao v Terence Crawford

[powerpuncher]

If this does happen, I wonder if Pacquiao knows he is done. I thought that this fight should have happened years ago to pass the torch but never came off. I thought that Crawford would definitely beat him a few years back. I can’t imagine Pacquiao winning now. Pacquiao is getting old (although still a solid fighter) and would be fighting a very skilled fighter in his prime.

This may be controversial, but I don’t think that Bud is that far below the Mayweather that beat Pacquiao, and we see how that ended up.

Is it manny’s swan song? Big pay day from Bahrain? I can’t see Manny winning but I give him credit for taking it.

Manny has gotten older but I'm actually better with this now than a couple of years ago. Still have the feeling that it'll all catch up to Manny but honestly Crawford needs this 'mega event' and cred heavy scalp. Crawford was informed he was human last fight out getting hurt and dropped and fighting sloppy but he does a bad number on Manny me thinks and could see a great fighter finally fizzle for good.

Crawford.

Manny would be TC toughest foe at 147..I hope this fight happens.

Manny has 6 rounds in him and likes to fight..Manny could walk away forever but he likes to do this.

Sick of Crawford talking but zero action.

Interesting fight, but not my top pick for either guy. Agree that Bud should be favored but that Manny is a live underdog. Can see a case where inactivity and looking past Manny results in an upset- no matter what, Manny is still pretty damn fast, is awkward, and can still crack. I’m just ready to start watching fights again...
