Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Canelo Needs Weight Cap, I Prefer Crawford Next

[WesternChamp]

I do not see why everrybody is saying that Canelo is too big for Pacquiao. If we talk about weight it is true but is not in class, speed and power.

Canelo fought Miguel Cotto and was not able to reach him and in the occasional times he hit Cotto with power was not able to damage Cotto. Cotto was never hurt in that fight. Nonetheless, Pacquiao hurt Cotto twice and had the referee to stop the fight. Canele is an over priced fighter.

In my opinion he did not win against Cotto. Cotto took him to boxing school.

styles makes fight my friend.. pac will take a good beating from canelo, win or lose, that's just manny's style, he has to fight u in order to create openings. and i cant see manny fighting a perfect fight against canelo without getting touch up. manny can box and move but the difference between floyd and manny. floyd doesnt give a crap what they fans is saying. manny on the other hand, as soon as he starts hearing boos, he rushes in to create action.

I don't want the Canelo-Pacquiao fight at all. If Pac does decide to continue fighting, Crawford is the only guy I want to see him fight

Crawford probably ain't happening as he thinks he's worth a LOT more $$$$ then HBO or TR is willing to pay. Heck he's turning down CAREER money to fight Postol.

I feel like Arum & Roach are just going to continue talking like Manny isn't going to retire if he gets elected to a senator position in hopes Manny is dumb enough that he'll forget he's still running for the office or something.

Cmon Bob & Freddie lets be more respectful of Manny's current path & try to be less concerned about riding the Manny train til the wheels fall off. If he loses the senate race give him a call & see whats up. Til then assume a more optimistic position on the bigger future outside of boxing Manny is chasing.

Last I heard, Crawford said the ball is in Postol's court. Whatever that means. It still seems like people are optimistic that the fight gets made for June or July though

fight is never gonna happen if they're talking about a weight cap.

canelo is not at a stage where he's willing to go down in weight not unless something big happens like khan beating him or something. he's at a point now where he feels he's the a-side.

weight cap, otherwise known as a regular day for the king of catch weight.

[Shadoww702]

manny look good in last fight. I'd confidently pick him to beat the current welters except for Brook and Thurman.

He shoudl be fairly safe given top rank's extremely limited welterweight roster

Even against Broom or Thurman I might bet Pac. If ODDS are right.. Thurman I'm not sold really on anymore. Guerrero who looked like he was Two weight classes below him kept walking forward. The big man the entire fight was backing up to a much smaller man. Pac is WAY better then Guerrero. And a lot of those punches wouldn't of hit Pac. On top of Pac crazy punching angles would give him fits.

He would outweigh Pac by a LOT though.

Let the man retire and enjoy the rest of his life damn

And I heard him and Arum are off by SEVERAL thousands of dollars! How is that in Postol court??? He doesn't pay Crawford? TR does and they need more money from HBO who won't give anymore. So Crawford has to come down in his asking price.

[Shadoww702]

Sht I guess your right??? Top Rank says it's almost a go but still have a few details to workout with Crawford. Looks like he agreed to come down in price??? Wonder what the few details are??

Thus gonna be an AWEOMSE fight. But I got TC winning and probably pretty easy. Postol is a HUGE hugger though. And he gonna try and clinch with the shorter TC and try rest ALL his weight on him most of the fight.

Roach of all people should be ****ing encouraging Pac to retire. The man must be butthurt that his gravy train has come to an end....but not as much as that scumbag leech Arum.
