Comments Thread For: Forget retirement, Pacquiao-Crawford is a fight that needs making

[Zaroku]

Yeap. I think the old legends shouldn't retire until a new star beat them. This is the way a new star can born. This is how Oscar gave the fame to Floyd and Pac. And now this is Manny's turn.

We can see how illegitimate the next generation can be without this. Lennox Lewis's retirement before the lose to the Klitschkos hurt the whole heavyweight badly.

Boxing really needs this Pacquiao-Crawford fight.

Zarragosa vs Morales is the proper way to pass the torch...

there's a reason why pacquiao picked a useless third fight with bradley.

he knows he would get beat by crawford.

but if floyd comes back and takes on danny garcia, the equivalent action manny has to take is to fight crawford for the rematch vs floyd to regain credibility in a lot of people's eyes.

Probably because he was offered more money for Bradley.

For an elite fighter

Being honest and straight to the point, I like Bud, kids got allot ahead of him, good action fights.

Keep him away from Pacquiao.

In all of his last fights kids shown allot of skill and heart, but, for an elite fighter, at this moment, he get's hit clean too much. Manny might not be near his prime, but he can land a shot or two, with commitment, and if he get's into a fire fight, Bud's been clipped and wobbled by Gamboa, Clipped clean by an average fighter in Lundy, Pac's game is to tight compared to those two. I thought it would be a good fight, an easy win, but, I'm not convinced Manny has fallen off that much. Flush touch to the body or to the head, Bud's first loss. A motivated Pac especially when he knows he can hit the target, and Bud starts trading, it will be exciting... while it lasts.
