Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: As Long As I'm In Boxing, I'm Willing To Fight Terence Crawford, Errol Spence, The Best

[MisanthropicNY]

Yes, we know Pac is the GOAT with a Lion's heart, and Floyd tarnished and destroyed boxing with his circus shows.

[Dobyzhee]

I have Pacquiao fighting Crawford instead of Spence after Ugas. Bud signs with PBC.

should be a good fight. Manny will have to train against lefties anyways

I was being sarcastic. From 2009 to 2017 Manny fought multiple guys that were coming off losses and multiple guys weakened by ridiculous catchweight demands. Those are facts.

Those are facts, it’s true, but when you’re fighting under Arum, what else is new? You saw what happened to Crawford, as long as he’s with Arum, he will be fighting B or C class opponents. And just because boxers lost their last fight doesn’t mean they couldn’t redeem themselves, Lennox Lewis, Ali, Frazier, Leonard, Duran, Hearns etc lost too but they came back and became best boxers in the world. As far as catch weight is concerned, if they mutually agreed to it, there’s nothing to complain about. Fighting guys like Rios, Algieri, Matthysse, etc. was good "money wise”, who would say no to more or less than $30 million total earnings each time you fight guys like that?

I didn’t say he lost because of weight. You sound extra sensitive. But denying that Oscar was weight drained when he clearly was either makes that person an idiot or a blinded by love groupie who can’t stand hearing the truth because they think it minimizes their idol. And for the record, you don’t know how the fight would’ve turned out had Oscar not been a zombie.

i called you out cuz you dont know what ur talking bout. i sound sensitive to you cuz your sensitive. (reread that again) I never denied oscar wasnt weight drained. He was but made no impact on the fight. Pacquiao dominated oscar because of his speed and FOOT movement. He wouldve been more durable and couldve pressed little more but because of pacs speed and power , oscar was gun shy. Weight had no outcome of this fight,which oscar made pacquaio move up from 135 to 147 (two weight classes) if pac wanted to fight him. Even mosely felt the speed and power and his footmovement was too much to even try to catch pacquaio and went on survival mode. Nothing to do with weight. The young hungry fighters will try til the end cuz they are naive and want to prolong the inevitable with the punchers chance. Vets like oscar and mosely knows when they are outclassed and has nothing to do with weight. Rest is history. Learn about boxing bro.

We can all acknowledge that pac is a warrior willing to take on tough challenges. At the same time, we can also acknowledge that he clearly has very little desire to face Crawford and Crawford is probably the last top welterweight he’d want to face. There’s video of Roach saying he doesn’t like that fight for pac and then pacs ridiculous 40 mil guarantee request is all the proof we need. Especially when his guarantee to face Spence was only going to be 5 mil.

Didn't he sign to fight bud, but the Qatari's couldn't come up with the money???

you’re the one who clearly doesn’t know shet about boxing. It’s definitely easier for a younger fighter to move up 10 pounds than it is for a 35 year old fighter to drop down to a weight he hasn’t made in 7 years. And to top it off, you said that “made no impact on the fight”?? Lmaooooo. Ok clown. You’ve clearly never boxed a second of your life. Stick to guzzling pacs nuts. Any boxing talk beyond you worshipping him just exposes you as a casual. And the term casual is being generous.

[Bronx2245]

They look ok, rising contenders, but they are still yet to be tested at elite level.

Because the Top guys don't want that smoke! They all want that Pacquiao money! I think the division will be better when he retires!

"definitely easier for a younger fighter to move up to 10 pounds than it is for a 35 year old fight to drop down to a weight he hasnt made in 7 years" yes everybody knows that. whats your argument other than stating the obvious and name calling? more weight wouldve done what? get faster? move his feet better? better defense? pacquaio would get slower with law of attraction? what wouldve changed? and why?

[Bronx2245]

He might be aligned with them at this point, but he aint singing like the rest of them!

The rest of them been fighting! Manny has been out the ring for 2 years, which is why he was stripped!

Let me make you understand that post. I’m going to be fair to Manny and will use facts and logic

These are the guys Manny fought from 2009-2017 and the context behind each fight:

1- Clottey had just lost to Cotto
2- Margarito had been KO’d by Mosley and weakened by catchweight
3- Mosley had lost to Floyd
4- Brandon Rios had lost to Alvarado
5- Broner was coming off two losses and a draw
6- Mathysse was rebuilding after getting beat by Danny Garcia and Postol
7- Vargas was irrelevant at 147
8- Cotto was a catchweight at 145 (where’s the challenge in that when you weaken a man?)
9- Oscar at 147, need I say more? Oscar was a 154 fighter for the previous 7 years.
10-Algieri was a virtual unknown kickboxer and a 144 Ibs catchweight.
11- Manny wanted to fight McGregor after criticizing Floyd for it.

We recognize Manny’s greatness but we can’t ignore some pathetic mismatches. How can you celebrate a resume like that? Littered with bums.

I don't understand posts like this. Pac s resume is probably 3 times stronger than nearest rivals.
Pac at 42 is fighting too 5 pfp fighter. Why isn't bud fighting top 5 pfp at 30 years of a ge? Why don't nel o fight beterbiev who isn't a top pfp fighter?
So in a 7 2 fight career Pac s fought 10 bums, that still makes 60ish great fighters Pac beat. How many bums has nel o beat in 55 fights? What about bud? What about floyd? Take all the bums off floyd s resume he's o nly fought about 20 worthwhile opponents
