Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Have No Preference on My Next Opponent

[thack]

mayweather gets booed as well so did ali for a lot of his career didnt make them any less of superstars not that im comparing them with khan in anyway just an example of being hated not meaning ur not a star

The difference here is even if you're not a Mayweather fan you would have to at least have a begrudging respect for him.....The way that Khan has hung around avoiding people but still comes out with the nonsense that he will fight anyone and is really avoiding everyone does him no favours, doesn't make for a super star.
You see Mayweather can control the pace of negotiations with who he wants Khan can't but doesn't get it, Mayweather is a superstar, Khan is not.

Idk that Manny gives a f#ck about fighting whoever for $15M after fighting the best in the world for $150M or w/e he got. Manny should just hang them up. A retirement fight is some silly **** anyway. Floyd shoulda just retired too instead of fighting Berto. If your heart isn't in it might as well just walk sooner.

Good post !

Manny the warrior...

Once again Manny nonchalantly says he doesn't care who is across the ring from him. This is how you're supposed to approach the fight game. This is part of the reason he is a national hero and legend. He doesn't care about Khan's blazing handspeed or Crawford's boxing ability. You know why? Because he can box as well, he has fast hands still as well. He'll go out of the country for a big fight. He'll fight at a neutral venue. He doesn't care what gloves you wear in the ring. He doesn't care about what color boxers you have on. He won't retire to duck a rematch, in fear of losing. This is how fighters used to do it until Floyd came along. Smh. Hats off to the fighter of the decade, HOF'mer, and Legend for taking us back once again.

Well said . Pac would fight anybody. The problem is he listens too much to Arum who should have never re-upped with and Koncz (who he should fire). Pac would fight anyone even GGG at a Catchweight. I still think Pac has a great fight left in him. I would love to see him in With Maywaether again , just to answer all the questions about both that arose. I am not downing Floyd either he could do the same with the IV question if they fought again. I would love to see him against Canelo, Floyd 2, Marquez 5, or even GGG. He is not afraid to lose. It's his handlers who are milking him.

Pacquiao the great one has spoken.

Stop ducking Khan like everyone else.

You are a tw*at - Khan's been irrelevant for the past 2 years.

Agreed...

Agreed. He should've just went INDIE instead of resigning with Arum this last time. The rematch with Floyd should happen, based on the controversy of the first fight. Manny tore his rotator's cuff and was sabotaged by Mayweather's power in the sport. Maybe a rematch isn't necessary. Floyd is so insecure that he will ruin negotiations on purpose because he cannot bully Manny. Smh. I hate Floyd. Anyway, Crawford is a bigger win for his legacy than Khan. I think Khan is a better fighter at this point than Crawford though. Crawford is being over-hyped and Manny, if he's healed, is going to beat his ass. Crawford isn't special. He's no Meldrick Taylor, Terry Norris, or Michael Nunn. Manny can hurt him.

I am not sure he is overhyped but he is young and shows alot of promise. I watched his fight against Gamboa whom he was much bigger than. He was getting hit with alot of shots. Gamboa has great handspeed and Pac is faster than Crawford as well. Crawford reminds me of a young Holyfield. He puts punches together well in combination ,but i don't see the blazing handspeed everyone thinks he has. I think if he gets hit by Pac like he did Gamboa he could be in trouble or become Gun shy. I think Pac will take some punches , plus remember Pac looks good against Come forward fighters. I think everyone is critique him on the Floyd fight but Floyd is just a difficult style for anyone. Crawford is way more offensive. When you get offensive with Manny he will hit you alot.

Back to Khan, He needs to shut up and earn that fight. Why not fight Brook for huge money in Wembley or rematch Garcia who has trouble with boxers. Even Peterson , whom i thought Khan beat, Rematch him. Khan has done nothing recently to earn that fight. Porter- Thurmon, Khan- Garcia, Brook- Chaves, and Bradley- Rios . Let those guys fight it out to see who best 147 lber is. Let the old men fight each other or Catchweight a Canelo or GGG and Cash out for big money. Plus settle score of Marquez if he would fight. That's what i would do if i was Pac.
