    not a great matchup but not terrible
    If its not happening its about money and more than likely Manny wanting too much .

      Yes, Packy would be nuts to fight Crawford unless he wants to retire with a lose so money will block any such fight. Packy has been pulling the money trick for a while now which is fine but it's a pity that he can't come out and say so. For the fans Packy.

        I rate Crawford very highly, easy win for Crawford at this stage of pacquiao's career. Crawford should fight Spence. Pac should fight Khan.

          Why exactly do you rate him highly when he hasn't been tested against anyone in their prime at 147?

              Why not Vergil Ortiz?

                We already confirmed it isn't Keef.

                Danny Swift is highly unlikely since as I reported, he's wanting to move up and Crawford isn't.

                Crawford openly ducked Vergil Ortiz Jr.

                That leaves Josesito or Jessie Vargas.

                Josesito is fresh off a knockout win in December while Jessie Vargas damn near beat Mikey Garcia. So both guys are fresh off wins, not losses. But neither guy is A-level.

                What say ye? Which of these guys gets the shot?

                I bet it's Jessie Vargas

                  I'm on team Ortiz all day , but he is too green IMHO to be in there with a guy of BUDs caliber .............My problem with BUD is not the talent/skills I believe his talent/skills are P4P , his resume is shameful. I want to see him in the ring with a top proven WW sadly Virgil is not there yet .

                    But the thing is, your assessment of his skill has been based on washed/injured/lesser opponents.

                    Anyone can look elite against the C-level. Look at Berlanga.

                    Crawford/Ortiz could be another Teofimo/Loma outcome. Shake things up a bit.

                      they are ducking Crawford. Simple as that
