Manny Pacquiao’s true feelings regarding a fight with Terence Crawford have been revealed.
‘Bud’ recently reacted with anger when Oscar De La Hoya predicted the fantasy matchup.
“@OscarDeLaHoya said @MannyPacquiao would have beat me because he got stopped by him,”Crawford tweeted. “Look, I would have f—ed you, Pacquiao and whoever you thought would have beat me the f— up. Just because I’m responsible doesn’t mean s—.”
Manny Pacquiao kept it classy with his initial response, but now he’s made his feelings clear.

Manny Pacquiao responds to ‘lucky’ Terence Crawford
24 hours after Terence Crawford publicly claimed he would ‘f— up’ Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino boxing legend reacted by sending a wholesome message to the pound-for-pound number one.
“All love, champ. God bless you and your family always,”Pacquiao had tweeted this earlier in the month.
Crawford’s 46-year old was far less diplomatic about his comments this weekend.
“I think he’s lucky that he didn’t fight me,” Pacquiao said when ES News asked him about Crawford’s recent comments.
Both men are still active, so it’s technically a fight that we could see take place at some point in 2026.
Pacquiao, however, has stated his desire to remain at 147lb in order to win another world championship.
Crawford, meanwhile, beat Canelo at 168lbs, and won several world titles. This means that he will not be dropping back down weight classes any time soon.
