    Why doesn’t Crawford like Pacquiao?

    I saw Pacquiao visit Crawford in the locker room once, and Crawford, while being polite, seemed to have a cold and distrustful disposition towards Pacquiao.

    Crawford admits Pacquiao is a legend, but credits much of his success to his avoidance of random blood testing. Says he’s not on his list of greatest boxers, says that Horn beat him and that Canelo is better than him.

    Yet, Crawford praises RJJ as his favorite despite the fact that RJJ actually popped dirty.

    Does Crawford have something in particular against Pacman? Seems everytime Pacquiao’s name is mentioned, Crawford’s demeanor changes.

    I’ve seldom heard any actual boxer think manny is the best

    manny is a fans fighter in the truest sense of the term

    the civilian’s boxer

    the price manny paid he won’t ever be a boxer’s boxer

    his name isn’t ever mentioned for best at anything when fighters are playing the create your perfect boxer game in interviews

      They both were are top rank for a long time but TBud wasn’t given the opportunity to fight manny

      that could be the real reason

        Fair criticism doesn’t equate to not liking someone.

        It seems you can’t refute Crawford’s criticism so you’re trying to make it rooted in some kind of personal bias.

        Very weak.

                Your reading comprehension seems to be even weaker. Not the sharpest tool in the box, are you.

                  Maybe because Shane Mosley said pac s toughest he faced. That would put pac miles ahead of nelo, which makes bud look below pac

                    I thought I read it correctly.

                    I don’t think he doesn’t like him just because he has this opinion.
