Is PAC vs Crawford/Garcia a good fight in 2015?

[Rostov Papa]

And it's clear Marquez wants no part of Pacquiao. LOL, he's taking that W of running with it! Despite Pac giving him three HUGE pay days, and rematches...

But it is what it is - Marquez wants to be 1-2-1 against Pac for life, and forever be the LOSER of the series, cool... I guess.. It's on him..


Floyd also clearly wants no part. How many roadblocks is the guy gonna throw up? He already said he won't work with Arum, who Pac is under contract with

Prov? That's not a big win. That's an expected win for either.

why not? Prov beat the **** outta Bradley and won the WBO lww title, losing in a close, entertaining fight to Algieri.

Outside of DG and Matt, I think Prov may be the best LWW out there, Herrera may have a say in that but who else is there?

Prov is a top 5 LWW at the very least, Crawford moving up from LW and beating a guy who hits that hard and is that dangerous would definitely be a big win, Mikey doing the same from an ever lower weight would be an even bigger win and that proves both guys can hang at 140, so why shouldn't Pac fight either one of them, considering it would only be his second fight in the division.

They are both good fighters but id like them to get a big win before thinking of a Pac fight. Pac doesnt have that much options so I dont know what will be for him in 2015. After he beats Algieri I hope he fights a big name.

I'd like to see Pac & Crawford at 140, but I never really get hyped for any Garcia fights, regardless of his match up, bar Matthysse, which he won and I gave props to. . . I think the only interest I'd see Garcia in is someone like Broner at 144 or something, just because the hype would be insane with all the trash talking.

Whoops I shoulda specified mikey garcia

[hhs661]

Horrible fights. with that, we'll probably get one if not both vs Manny very soon

Crap..........

Order for best PAC opponents:

1. Fraud jr
2. Marquez
3. Brook
4. Thurman


The first 3 don't wanna fight him. And Thurman's best win as of this point is chaves.

floyd and marquez won't fight pac, brook is going to be out for awhile because of that leg injury and most likely will need a tune up (to see if the leg is really alright), thurman isn't proven yet.

if terence beats beltran he will be the #1 at lightweight, ring champ, will retain his WBO belt, undefeated, young, prime, etc.

pac vs terence at 140 is a good fight. both guys have had successful fights at 140.

[LinealChampion]

The main fights for Pacquiao.

1. Floyd Jr
2. Kell Brook
3. Keith Thurman
4. Danny Garcia
5. Mikey Garcia
6. Terrence Crawford

Any of these are acceptable opponents.

[DoktorSleepless]

Not unless they beat Andre Berto first.

[Divine Hammer]

The main fights for Pacquiao.

1. Floyd Jr
2. Kell Brook
3. Keith Thurman
4. Danny Garcia
5. Mikey Garcia
6. Terrence Crawford

Any of these are acceptable opponents.

- floyd won't fight pac

- kell brook is still recovering from almost having his leg chopped off and is understandably going to need a tune up (plus brook vs khan is the fight that brook's people want to make).

- keith thurman isn't even proven, not a world champion. what's his best win? chaves? plus he's with haymon.

- danny sucks and he clearly lost to herrera and is coming off a poop win against no hoper #77 ranked lightweight with 3 losses not a world champion salka. plus he's with haymon.

- pac will get highly criticized for fighting mikey coming off a more than one year layoff and jumping up two weight classes.

- crawford is the best available opponent - without a doubt he is the #1 at lightweight (especially if he beats beltran who is ranked #2), WBO world champion, coming off of good wins, prime, undefeated a good smart slick high IQ boxer, already fought at 140 before and is big enough to make the jump again.

if terence beats beltran and pac fights him next at 140 it will be the 3rd undefeated (at least on paper) prime world champion pac has fought in a row.
