Comments Thread For: Pacquiao is Warned By Ex-Coach To Avoid Crawford

Noob...

Crawfords southpaw jab will light manny up like a christmas tree. Crawfords versatile style is all wrong for manny.

You sound real uneducated, man. Since when has any fighter's jab or versatile style, defeated Manny? Manny took away Floyd's jab and matched his unreal reflexes. What do you think Crawford is going to do to Manny that he hasn't seen before? He better hope that Manny is OLD or else he is getting his ass beat.

I think Pac's speed and angles will prove to be a problem for crawford .

His defense, ring IQ, and power as well. Crawford is being hyped to get his ass beat. He is not ready for the A Level. HBO pissed me off with their one-sided bogus commentating on May 2nd and last night they did it again. Crawford hit Jean with a KO blow to the back of the head, while he was on the canvas, and Max Kellerman blamed Jean. Smh.

Unless Bob has Manny totally wrapped around his finger, Manny fights Khan next. Easier fight and bigger in a way and makes him more money. Crawford vs Postol I see in the future for him.

Bob is making the in-house fight. He's always built his fighters with these torch passing fights. Why would he let Khan make a name off Manny and take that momentum back to PBC?

Manny was supposed to be fighting Mikey in his final fight but that went left so Crawford is just taking Mikeys spot.

Where was his awkward angles and quick feet in his last fight? Stick a fork in manny, he's done. Manny still hasnt seen a right hand he didnt eat, straight right hands will destroy manny, even in slo-mo Manny will fight Kahn and get ko'd and finished, then he will run for senate and wanna come back to fight again as a senator and get finished by Crawford... and then....come back to face jmm when he's about 42 to steal more money from the pac-roids. Manny is not an ELITE fighter anymore because of drug testing...

I think he'd be better off against the winner of Bradley and Rios. Still a star building fight and an easier one IMO..

That might be better for Manny's chances of winning, but neither fight is sellable on PPV. Ultimately this is all about making money. Nobody wants to pay for a Rios rematch or another Bradley fight. Been there, done that.

A lot of different thoughts on this. Why would Manny take this fight ? What's the upside unless Bob is gonna give him $30 or $40 million for it. Crawford won't push this over a million. And its a tough style matchup.

If it is up to Manny and his team he's not taking this fight there's no real benefit to doing so. He could just take on a more known name and a guy more closer to his age.

Now with that said it would be awesome if he took the fight but I don't see it.

Pac would lose to crawford at this point. Pac's done. As a pac fan i rather him take a winnable fight and retire with a win.

ppl who actually OBSERVE BOXING and dont have the sentimental attachment to fighters SEE what is about to occur IF pacquiao has the HEART to face Crawford. Crawford will STOP pacquiao the STYLES MAKE FIGHTS is SO GLARING here it is a slap in the face to any fan of the sport that notices the inevitable. only fans of fighters who hold them to some type of mystique think pacquiao will beat crawford like its a foregone conclusion. manny pacquiao has NEVER faced a fighter like Crawford NEVER. he will get KO'D by Crawford IF he makes it to my prediction round and thats round 10 Crawford STOPS pacquiao within 10 ROUNDS

The Tim Bradley treatment? Bradley didn't deserve the first fight win agains Pac.

Beat pac convincingly, and the world will surely notice.

Beat Pac undeservingly the world too would notice. It's about proving it. Earn it the right way, the world sees and respects you. BRADLEY DIDN'T.

these fans should also understand that bradley is not a judge. their outrage should've been directed elsewhere, tim didn't deserve to receive death threats behind that decision which he said drove him to depression.
