Comments Thread For: Crawford Tears Through Dierry Jean, Guns For Pacquiao

[aboutfkntime]

manny pacquiao is overrated he hasnt beat an ELITE fighter besides an Injured tim bradley. i see NOTHIN' absolutely NOTHIN' that pacquiao can do that bothers Bud.
i think pacquiao lost ALL 4 marquez fights, i think he beat tim bradley the first match BUT bradley was injured in both fights, he hasnt fought an ELITE fighter besides who? EVERY "elite" fighter he's fought has been at a catchweight so i dont see ANYTHANG that poses a threat to BUD i really dont

He is definitely elite, still.

Not sure about this fight the more I think about it.

You never know with Top Rank, but the timing doesn't seem quite right.

Ima go with my original hunch..... Pac's next fight will be announced as his possible retirement fight..... following that, Pac will fight twice more, the last being Crawford.

Whoever thinks TC would walk right thorough pacauixo are complete idiots and not worthy of being called a boxing purist. Pacauixo demolished cotto one of the best fighters to walk the planet . I know it's way back when but still it's everything I need to know about pacauixo. Mayweather was supposed to school him but in reality it was one of mayweeater worst outings. I mean pacauixo got hit a lot more in fights that he won. Nothing may weather did was impressive that night and I believe pacauixo was hurt but either way if u think Crawford is this pacauixo killer it's crazy talk

How many southpaw champions has Manny Pacquiao fought? Zero! Pacquiao vs. Crawford @ 144! Let's go!

and how many Crawford beat? U funny. Lets compare Mannys career to Crawford now lol

i like the fact that crawford seems to be hot blooded. when he gets hit he goes back at you. he is the best at 140 lbs, no doubts. the only thing that i don't like is when he switches to southpaw, but that's a matter of taste, i enjoy more the orthodox style.

Not gonna happen haters! Not in Bob Arums book. Crawford is the new cash cow. Bradley vs Rios winners will fight Manny next year...you heard it from me first!

Would love to see Crawford smash broner to pieces...top rank stable go to war on haymon's goons

I like crawford, kovalev, golovkin but lets b honest HBO throws those guys on us like theyre unstoppable. Neither 1 till this date has fought the best in theyre weight class. Not even chocolatito who i also like. The Rigo situation is really shameful because if anything he is number 1 p4p no doubt about it. Its not about the biggest following or most entertaining its whos the best.... Rigo has prob been the best the last 3 yrs. dont let HBO (who i honestly love) fool u but they r getn a little toooo bias with the little bit of fighters that they still have. Remember jean looked outclassed against lamaont peterson! This was expected atleast it was to me. At the same time cant blame hbo tryna compete with the pbc of course they have to try to look surperior to every1 else.

I dont think so to be fair. No knock on Crawford, I'm a big fan. good post.

At least he's willing to go out there and dare to be great. If you lose, you lose. He could be enjoying a very cushy existance down at lightweight. You know, claim he wants to "unify" against a bunch of bums. But f.uck it, he's willing to go up and fight the best welterweight in the world to prove his greatness. Kudos to the kid.

Crawford has talent but that was a boring fight for me - not competitive in the least. At one point late in a round the commentators pointed out Jean had thrown just one punch so far in the round. With so little return fire I'd like to have seen Crawford take a few more chances.
I'm warming up to a Postol Crawford clash - both are going to present issues to each other which will be interesting to see if they can solve. It won't happen due to Postol being high risk low reward.

Same here, boring fight. Crawford has talent but he didn't really show some balls just played it safe and jabbed&countered the smaller man. Can't blame him with a big money fight coming up with Postol or Manny. I'd rather see him fight postol and Manny fight Khan.
