Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: Manny Pacquiao Must Fight Me at 140!

[Brz_Pugilist]

Everyone's on the crawford bandwagon now lol. Who's postol? Crawford has leaky defense and i wonder what would happened if he got caught with one of manny's power shots.

[Mr. Philadel]

Pac is gonna fight Vargas...Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and CJ Ross can see that fight happening next

[Baltimore]

Man it would be a great fight.

I think 140 is where Pac would prefer it anyway.

I think we will see this fight eventually but probably not next.

I'm fine with Crawford hanging at 140 for a little bit but I don't think Manny should go back down there to fight him. Really does nothing for a retired legend to compromise himself while taking on the hungriest young lion. Disaster in the making.

THIS!!! My only problem is NO ONE left at 140??? He needs to move up. He WEIGHED 158 fight night... 18 lbs more than 140.

No! He fought a boxer with an RTARD game plan! The TALL, long arm boxer with 12 KO's CHASED the better, stronger boxer around ALL NIGHT!

To be fair a lot of people were picking Postol to win on this site and say it was a 50/50 fight when clearly it wasnt. The books had Crawford a 7/1 favorite and I think the books know's better then most "experts" on here.

Pac would not have to drain himself mutch to get to 140. Im sure he makes that weight easier than Crawford. The reason why Manny moved to 147 has been legacy and big fights/names but he has never been a real welterweight. But his prime is over and he would lose to Crawford now anyway.

I don't think he would lose to Crawford especially after his last fight where he pretty much schooled Bradley just as easily as their other 2 fights. We never really got a chance to see what Manny could do at 140 although he did knock out Ricky Hatton. I think it would be a close fight but Crawford is no Mayweather although I do think Crawford is one of the best in the sport. This is the fight Pacquiao needs to make, it would easily be another 20 million payday and a win over Crawford would definitely add to his legacy.

I'm finally convinced Crawford is an elite level talent but no way does he beat Manny, even the faded version.

That switch hitting stuff won't work, hell if Crawford even dares to switch to southpaw he's getting lit up.

Pac would make the fight at whatever weight he wants- which is whatever weight they deem Crawford to not be comfortable with. For JMM 3 it was 147. For Cotto it was 145. Rios 147. Bradley 147. He has a history of making jww fight at 147 and larger fighters to a lower cw.
The only way this fight ever takes place is when Arum is at least 90-95% Crawford will win. Arum saw a 40 lw beat Manny in most peoples eyes and then signed undefeated Bradley and matched him up with Pac. Tim was supposed to win in a passing the torch fight. The refs knew this and saw that it happened. Now no one cares about Bradley and he isn't a ppv fighter. Crawford is the only hope for top stank to stay relevant. As soon as his lawsuit against Haymon got thrown out Arum starts talking to Haymon again. This is because Arum has Crawford and no other real hope. Hearn has G, GB has Canelo, Haymon the advisor has 200 fighters and Arum has Crawford. No way does Crawford lose in an inhouse tr fight. Look how long it took for Crawford to face his first real opponent. And no one knows how good Crawford is. Broner looked just as sharp til he fought Maidana and Porter. Postol is good, but Maidana at 147 and Porter at 144 are the much more difficult opponents. I'm not sure Crawford could beat Porter at any weight and a 2013 Maidana would probably win. Just because he beat an opponent who was good but not great, and one that he was supposed to beat somehow makes him a p4p fighter.
