Comments Thread For: Crawford's Coach: Terence Don't Need Pacquiao To Build Legacy!

It is probably bad for your career to beat Pacquiao unless you are an already established star with his own large following. The obsessive and devout nature of your typical pacquiao fan makes you draw nothing but hatred upon defeating him. See also: Tim Bradley.

That would make sense if Bradley had actually beat Pac. Recipients of massive, high profile robberies usually get some flack even if its not their fault

Only now that the Crawford/Paquiao fight is for sure not gonna' happen do the Pac fanboys come out of the woodwork to make their bold predictions.

Most of the legit guys were calling it a good fight and it seems like some even voiced concern.

Regardless of how you may have personally scored the fight, surely you of all people understand the singular and devout nature of the Pacquiao fan...or should I say Golovkin fan?

Agreed, he doesn't...but it wouldn't hurt him none either. Hell it'd make it easier. Just look at how people boast about Garcia beating a Morales who had nothing left in the tank, like not even the motivation to train.

Find the people who actually "boast" about that. Nice fairy tale.

Bob fuc ked up. Doesn't crawford draw in millions of views? Im sure some casuals have heard of him. It would of been easier than trying to sell a replay to everybody

Once Crawford beats a really good fighter decisively then His career should take off quickly. Until that happens Crawford will still be an unknown and unrecognized nothing. Heck beat up Algieri or Vic Ortiz or Broner.

Why is that only with fighters like Crawford? Ggg has fought no one of note but is still praised. He doesn't even have a Gamboa on his resume! Ggg hardley speaks English, so why is he so much more marketable than Crawford who is also demolishing his comp?

All good. Pacquiao would have pasted his ass anyways. Even at second fiddle boy, he's still well above Crawford-Raquel type of opponents.

What makes you think Pac would beat him? That's a 50 -50 fight! I actually think Crawford could too Pac, but I could also see Pac hurting him and winning a split, but to say he would paste him his reaching

[LoadedWraps]

He's right, Pac is too far over the hill to do anything to anyone's legacy, like how the DLH is meaningless on Pac's resume, he didn't fight the monster version, it doesn't count other than being another W on the list.

But if Crawford moves up and ends up ducking the second coming of Achilles in Verdejo, that will damage his legacy.

Bob said he wouldn't promote this as Manny's last fight, which suggests he will fight again. If that is the case, losing to Crawford would of course undermine the profitability of a subsequent fight.

Crawford wouldn't be totally wrong to take not getting a Manny fight as a positive. we all assume he would lose to Manny. we've seen Manny/Tim for 24 rounds and its very unlikely Tim will win.

Hopefully, Crawford faces Postol in his next fight.

I don't assume he would lose! Maybe dumb a$s casual fans, but not the majority! It's 50-50. Pac actually has problems with fighters like Crawford. He's athletic and a counter puncher, which Pac had never done well with counter punchers! So what are you talking about?

You can see it now! Look at the biased post basically saying he wouldn't have a chance against Pac, when there's nothing not to like about the guy. He's talented and comes forward. Has a high ring IQ and the skill set to match. All you need to be is a threat to Pac our GGG to be hated or brushed to the side
