?Manny is the only fighter in the Top Rank stable who can take me to the next level.??Terrence Crawford
Have you ever heard a song and knew in your heart that it was something special, and then it later caught on and became a big hit, After that, you kind of threw up your hands and said ?I knew it before anyone else? but that had the ring of ?yeah, sure you did? to it. Well that?s the way I am with Terence Crawford (28-0) because the first time I saw him fight against Breidis Prescott in 2013 I knew he was something special, and then against a talented Thomas Dulorme (22-1 coming in), he continued to be something very special. A purist?s dream, he blends extraordinary technical skills, versatility, great defense, a relaxed confidence, high Ring IQ, a controlled mean streak, and a documented appetite for combat.
If Manny Paquiao beats Timothy Bradley next month (and that?s no certainty), Pac Man will be pressured by the public to fight the sensation from Omaha. And if he does, he may well meet the same fate as he did against Juan Manuel Marquez in their last bout. Oh, it might be competitive for the first 4 rounds, but once Crawford analyzes Manny, he would step on the gas and end Pacquiao?s career once and for all. That?s the Midwesterner?s cerebral MO.
Manny?s elevator is going down. Crawford?s is going up. The intersect would not bode well for Manny.
