Crawford on Pacquiao: "Once He Gave Blood, the Knockouts Stopped"

Two-time undisputed world champion Terence Crawford has explained why he did not include Manny Pacquiao in his list of the top five greatest boxers of all time.

- Pacquiao isn’t in your top five?

- No. He’s a world champion in eight divisions.

- That’s huge. There’s a reason he’s not on my list. Manny is a talented fighter who achieved what no one else has. But I don’t believe he did it all on his own.

That’s just my opinion. Floyd (Mayweather) insisted Manny take a blood test — and Manny didn’t want to. But when he finally did, the knockouts stopped.

- Man, you’re breaking my heart. Maybe he just got older?

- Listen. There’s one thing that’s clear — when you age, you might lose speed, reflexes, stamina… but not power. Look at George Foreman.
