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

TC should first fight Danny Garcia before Pacman.

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

pacquaio doesnt have the BOXING ability of a gamboa they have diff styles he doesnt have better footwork than gamboa maybe "faster" but not "better"
i dont have a skrong hatred for pacquaio but it is a mild annoyance with him bc of his biggest fights were catchweights and i will always hold that against him, just like i hold that cat mayweather responsible for the alvarez catchweight when he couldve beat him at 154 but he wanted an advantage even tho he won every single round

also remember pacquiao is NOT a true welter and hasnt fought a PUNCHER in a LOOONG while and the ones he did fight were either SLOW or CATCHWEIGHT.

I get you, but Pacquiao is a much smaller dude. And if you're the A-side you can dictate the terms of the fight. It's part of the business. And I think it's going to be the norm now in regards to CW. CW is what lets us see the best fighters fight the best as opposed to straight fighting directly in a division you've never fought in or have no experience. Canelo is doing it, and soon to be more guys.

Great performance, but I don't know if he should fight Pacquiao so soon, he'll be pulling a Broner jumping weight classes too fast. Good fighter, I see a lot of intriguing matchups for Bud.

It's either now or never. Pacquaio has already said he is seriously considering just one more fight, then retirement.

I would really like to see Crawford vs Broner, then Pacqauio next but politics will probably prevent that fight from happening.

I don't even think Pacquiao would consider him, because he's trying to be President for his country or something, he'll likely take on a mid-tier Andre Berto type fighter to ensure a last fight win.

Crawford has some bad habits in there. If Pac clocks Crawford with the kinda shot Jean landed on him in the eighth, Crawford *will* taste the canvas.

I see it as a 70/30 fight favoring the Pacman. Crawford is a quality fighter but he's no Mayweather.

[MDPopescu]

Crawford can't fight Danny or Broner -- they are both under that fighters' protection program we all know of.
Pacman looks old and slower, but riskier however.
Postol is big (taller, longer reach), but I would rather like this fight.

thats why i dont get mad at cotto bc he was caught up in the catchweight fiasco and EVERYONE praised pacquiao for the win even tho its a DRASTIC catchweight they dont even mention it was a drained fighter coming into the ring. so now when cotto does it he gets flack for it, i can never stop holding that against pacquiao
crawford is a BIG 140lber on fight night he will outweigh pacquiao even if the fight is at 147 or a cw i cant even determine who's hands are faster between crawford or pacquiao bc crawford VARIES his speed and his TIMING good lawd. he's taller longer reach has timing, can box or fight, dont really know bout his inside game BUT pacquiao has NEVER been an in-boxer so thats of no concern in that dept. he is AMBIDEXTROUS and goes to the body and top well and in a great fashion
crawford says his favorite fighter of all-time is Roy Jones but i look at him more of a fusion between a Thomas Hearns Pernell Whitaker & Aaron Pryor
i dont see barely any roy jones in him

[torosboxing75]

Crawford is very good but Pacquiao KO's him.

[PunchyPotorff]

Here come the fanboys... 'Crawford's the best ever' 'The best at 140 hands down' 'Greatest ever'.....

Geez, the guy is special, good power, great boxer, but like a few of the more astute fans have mentioned... the guy gets hit, squares up too much. Pint sized Gamboa dropped him because of that. I would imagine after Pac retires, Crawford and Roman Gonzalez with be the top 2... but right now his trainers have to fix that hole in his defense or he's history at some point.
