Comments Thread For: Arum Says Khan, Crawford in Lead For Pacquiao Bout

[AddiX]

I rather he fight Kahn.

I'm a Crawford fan, but it seems rare these days you put a black fighter in a big fight and they do anything but run and jab.

I heard Bradley Rios winner is not in the mix right now because Arum is waiting to have the winner fight Canelo if he beats Cotto for the title, ARum hates Cottos guts and siad he will never do business with him again. So they are banking on Canelo to win or get a gift decision in Vegas. If Canelo loses, I could see the Bradley vs Rios winner possibliy next in line for Pac.

I doubt Amir Khan lol, Khan is being played a a fiddle, this dude makes me laugh he needs to go and fight Kell Brook

You think that they would really try to sell Pac-Rios 2 as Pac's last fight. I could see a trilogy playing out with Bradley but even if Rios stops Bradley, I can't imagine that they'd put that fight back on.

Come to think of it, i wonder if Bob is using Khan as an angle in his bogus lawsuit against Haymon? Khan doesnt get Pac and Arum tries to sue? Arums pathetic @$$ suing somebody else for tacrics he created lol Haymon should just counter sue Arum for non competitive practices, hed havr a better case against Arum than Arum has against Haymon...Ironic isnt it lol

Pac at 147 or catchweight, I don't think it would be fair to starve Manny down to 140. I don't know how good Craw is, he works at his pace so far, never saw him pressed hard. That other guy, Khan needs to go home and clean up his own house, he's losing fans and believers.

crawford is heavier than pac.

any weight 140-147 is fine.

crawford was 156 lbs fight night in his 140 fight with jean.

I really hope it's Crawford.

According to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford and top welterweight contender Amir Khan are the leading candidates to face Manny Pacquiao in his final career bout on April 9th.

Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) was in action two weeks ago, when he knocked out Pacquiao's former sparring partner Dierry Jean.

What was that Bob ?

Crawford and Khan.......... right.

[Box-Office]

I hope WBC orders Khan-Garcia cuz Floyd is now Champion Emeritus and Amir goes for it. People can see through that Crawford gets it with the hopes of Terence beating Pacquiao to build their next star. It does seem Mayweather will come back for the 50th fight and Khan can win his old belt in the mean time. Even if not in my personal opinion beating DSG for the WBC belt does more for Amir than say he beats Pacquiao.

Other than being in the same camp and supposedly (according to Khan ) friends! apart from last week when Khan said how unhappy he was with Manny and his team and pulled out of negotiations because they obviously told him who was running the show ! Khan has done nothing to be in a position for a big fight like this unless you foolishly count his one outing in a year against Chris Algieri where he looked lucky to get a win !
The only way that ******ly Khan fans are angling to try and sell this mismatch is how well they say Khan did against Manny in his sparring tales and we all know about his sparring tales with Andre Ward .....THEY NEVER SPARRED AS KHAN HAD TOLD ALL HIS FANS THEY HAD!!
Ridiculous really when Crawford is there and ready to fight in what would be a pick em fight at this stage of Manny's career and Crawfords obvious massive talent ,where has the only consolation in a Khan fight would be to see Khan knocked out yet again !!!!!
