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

[GrandpaBernard]

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.

exactly Thurman makes the fight harder for himself due to his preference for brawling.

Guerrero was catching him with counters.

Still an interesting fight due to manny's new boxing style. Keith like to pressure southpaws and is a natural bodypuncher

Good to see Arum and Roach being so supportive of Manny's retirement decision.

Atleast Freddi isn't trying to get Manny in the ring with a Light Heavyweight like Canelo tho. That's crazy for him to even think about. A fight with Crawford wouldnt be as big of a money fight as Canelo but it's the fight that should be made.

If Manny is going to retire, wth would he still have arum promoting him? Hasn't he taken enough of his money? Geez, I mean go to someone who isn't gonna take 30% of your fight purse everytime.

If they cap Canelo at 160-165 lbs, Alvarez will be very drained and likely lose by stoppage. I'll actually say Crawford gets stopped as well. Gamboa had him hurt and he has zero defense.

As of this past Saturday night, eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38KOs) is a retired fighter. In their third and likely final meeting, Pacquiao won a twelve round unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

That's the fight that should have happened like a year ago if you ask me. A great fight.

But if Pac just retires that's even better, better to go out on top than on a loss.

If this fight does happen however, I have Crawford by KO.

If Margarito was able to hurt Manny to the body, I don't like the idea of Manny going in with Canelo.

Yeah, but the rest of the time cheato was getting his ass handed to him. Alvarez would not have stood up to that imo. Canhellno is a pretty stationary target and it would really only be a matter of if Manny was able to hurt him.

Cannot see that, Crawford just gets hit to much, and doesn't have an iron chin by any means.

Also, his other opponents get confused with Crawford switching stances, but if he does that, he'll get clipped by that right hook...if he stands orthodox, the straight left finds its target.

On a side note, I like Crawford, but he's hyped by hbo just a little to much fromantic what I have seen. Crawford vs. Bradley?
