Pac Vs Crawford - June 5th

[Spicoli]

Basically it's what we said when this was first talked up a while ago. Crawford needs Manny more. I'm def interested in it but at the same time it almost feels like a lower case of his showcases with Khan and Brook. It also gets Crawford a WbA trinket alongside same promotion Vergil Ortiz Jr..gives time for a fight or two for him..and assumed to be Errol Spence should Spence fights and beats Ugas for wba. The scalp, prestige name is an investment for Crawford but still feels like bit of a step sideways short term. And I'm not so sure it's a forgone conclusion for Crawford who has to absolutely shine who also in all honestly hasn't face a complete skillset remotely close to even an old geezer Manny.

Yes that is true, Pacquiao is a really high level talent and stage it at the right time and place and who knows what Pacquiaos preparation will be like :S
Pac man did well v Thurman but I just don't think Thurman is that good crawford is fair bit above Keith I think and I just can't look past Pacquiaos age I think it's just too much...
And if Pac man wins it enhances his legend and shows us we never really needed crawford v spence anyway.

Agree all around- especially the age- I fear he is destined for Kovalev-Hop Smith-Hop. Calzaghe-Jones type shit. In other words not just losing, but losing bad.
The only fighters to beat father time IMO did it by not just walking away- but staying away.
