I read about people saying Crawford and Spence are TOO BIG for Pacquiao? Do they mean the height or skill difference? Pac fought Mosley, Rios, Vargas, Horn, Bradley, Algieri, Dela Hoya, and Margarito. ALL of which are bigger/taller than Crawford or Spence. What TOO BIG are you talking about?! Too skilled (at this point) maybe the right term, but too big?
By the way, 2009 Pac destroys Crawford and Spence easy, 2018 Pac still got 40-50% chance imo.
It is sad as hell you havent posted since 2014 then run back on here now that Manny picked up a paper title tho...
By too big I think most mean that Spence and Crawford are naturally bigger heavier men. They are full sized welterweights who weigh almost 160 pounds on fight night. Pacquiao fights at welterweight but he has never been a full welterweight. He is a big lightweight or a a 140 pounder and never weighs more than 150 on fight night for his welterweight fights.
And these guys are not? Mosley, Rios, Vargas, Horn, Bradley, Algieri, Dela Hoya, and Margarito. ALL of which are bigger/taller than Crawford or Spence. Call it TOO SKILLED, TOO FAST, TOO YOUNG, TOO STRONG at this point for Manny then I can understand. But simply saying TOO BIG for Pac makes me crazy lol!
Khan is a lightweight fighting at welter, Crawford/Spence are light middle/middleweights draining themselves to compete at the same weight. Pacman in his very prime could beat much bigger/taller fighters but not at 40 lol. Pacquiao vs Khan is a good 50/50 fight now. Pacman is just a part time boxer and 40 years old, its absolutely insane that he can still compete at such a level.
All the talk of the big elite WWs he fought, they were under CWs which makes a huge difference Cotto Oscar CWs Mosley was shot and Margo was shot, as an extreme example GGG could beat Joshua at 200 lbs, that's effectively the same thing Manny did, As far as matching for weight Manny is the greatest in history for playing the weight card to his advantages, even bringing them up like JMM Algerie Rios etc was Mannys advantage, I take my hate of to Manny and his match maker they played it to the hilt.
Manny would be eaten by prime elite WWs with NO CW.

Crawford and Spence need to fight each other.
Dude, Crawford just came in from LIGHTWEIGHT. Spence spent his at Welterweight, but there's no TOO BIG in that as Pac also fought full welterweights/middleweights in Mosley, Dela Hoya, Margarito, etc.
It's just funny that few years ago the board was full of threads like 'Crawford is going to be the next big thing as long as he stays south of Welterweight (where Pac was)'. But now, it's reversed, Pac should now stay away from Crawford lol!
