Comments Thread For: Roach: Crawford Can’t Beat Pacquiao; Wanted That Fight For 4/9

[Patsfan bri]

Disagree , I think pay is done and Crawford would have won. In a bout 2 yrs from now Crawford vs Spence will be the biggest fight to make

[SeekDaGreat]

you the one that made the comparison to Mayweather in the first place lol

Touche......

honestly i dont think crawford can beat pac either. the only way i see crawford winning is if manny ages ridiculously over night. i just cant see a fight playing out where crawford wins.

Granted i might be underestimating crawford but honestly i dont think i am i think people are underestimating manny after the floyd fight to be honest

Just my opinion but I see Pac-Crawford as at least 50/50.

Crawford is hungry and on the rise; Pac in defnite decline, and not just physically but his mental focus on boxing too.

I would have felt the same way I did just like when Gamboa had no business going up and taking on Crawford he has no business going up and taking on Pac. That would have been a bad decision.

Shame Pac didnt have enough confidence in himself to get away from Arum

[Outwest Exp 355]

I like the kid Crawford but I don't think he can beat Manny. He's not polished enough just yet. I think Bradley is the toughest guy in Arums stable for Manny at 147.

If Roach is telling the truth about this and not lying like he did about rigo and ortiz wanting to switch over to him then Arum is a dumbass. Thats a good excuse to lose. If Crawford were to lose to pacquiao then he can just say "i lost to a better fighter, and pacquiao is an ATG, one of the best of this era." Literally the same as Canelo losing to froid.

haha c'mon man thats just dumb. How would Pac even do that? He didn't/doesn't have the business experience, speak english (at the time yet even now its still kinda broken english) and even know how to get away from arum like DLH or haymon did for froid. He was getting ripped off from his promoter before arum so i guess it seems natural he would be loyal since he is getting paid good

I agree hes a tool and not very bright but the Pac brand is built and has been. He didnt need to speak english just needed confidence in himself and he lacked it but oh well.

This was the fight to make, not Bradley trilogy which I predict will bomb on PPV
