Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Selects Jessie Vargas, Rules Out Crawford For 11/5

[The Big Dunn]

Look, I posted what a fighter said,. Crawford if the guy who was supposed to have made Manny duck him but he is the guy who has outright refused to fight him. I never heard Manny say it and Manny hasn't fought at light welter in almost a decade and only did so once.

So, you still haven't explained how it's a duck when the other guy is the one who doesn't want the fight.

I never posted or implied he ducked Crawford. Earlier today I said I understand picking Vargas-it gives him an easy win to keep the prospects of the Floyd rematch open same as floyd fighting Berto was set up to make sure he was undefeated for fight #50.

[The Big Dunn]

avoided is duck but just a different word being used. You have made so many posts and still not posted HOW Pacquiao supposedly avoided or ducked Crawford.

Are we lying when we say Crawford didn't want the fight? If so prove it. Till then, all I know is Crawford wouldn't move up to Pac's division. That's the end of that.

It's not like Pacquiao went on a 5 minute rant about how dangerous Crawford is and how he'll get hurt and how Crawford is probably on PEDs.

Come on dude, your grasping at straws now. There is a thread up about Arum going to Manilla to talk to Manny about Crawford. That sort of kills your point that Crawford was the one that turned the fight down.

****ing pathetic. I've told all the Manny diehards time and time again that him and his team are just as guilty as anyone else of cherry picking. They just don't want to believe it.

Lmao. And they considered Adrian Broner too! Even worse than Vargas. Come on team Pac, just admit it. You guys don't want to face Crawford because you know he'll school Pacquiao. Roach saw what he did to his boy Postal, lmao!

Roach doesn't have an answer for Crawford! Give it up!

This is the fight everyone knew was going to happen.

Any other names mentioned by Arum were just fillers. We knew this all along.

So I guess no point in getting upset.

Vargas lands huge overhand right and ends Pac's career.

An Abel Sanchez quote gets more replies than this thread stay retired manny

My favorite part of the interview with Koncz was asking him why they don't want @budcrawford402. "The style," he said.

What do you mean? I asked. Too fast, too defensive, too much like Mayweather, too good? "The style!" he barked.

That's what I'm saying. Pac for the cherry pick.

Vargas should win this by knockout, people keep hating on this guy but he keeps proving people wrong, he was overtrained in the Bradley fight and Dewey Cooper got him back on point and he actually destroyed a class boxer mover in Sadam Ali.

You can't be serious.

Jessie Vargas is the next level up from a bum.

Doesn't surprise me, now let's see what Max Kelerman is going to say about that.

Max Kellerman will say that Pacquiao is "the real TBE for fighting a WARRIOR like Jessie Vargas!!!".

That's what I'm saying. Pac for the cherry pick.

Those Lance quotes are quite apropos. Koncz basically admitting on record that he's advising Manny to duck Crawford yet people here are still in denial.

I mean seriously people.

You've got Manny's OWN TRAINER saying Mayweather clearly beat his fighter; has an excellent jab; is the best of his era.

You've got Manny's OWN ADVISOR telling him to duck a fighter who has a style that is similar to Mayweather.

You've got Manny's OWN PROMOTER basically refusing to book any big payday fight for Manny that isn't Floyd.

Yet you still refuse to acknowledge the truth of the matter: Manny Pacquiao is a puppet. Floyd specifically said this in 2009: Manny should drop his whole entourage and start over. He's getting done up with no Vaseline.

This is a duck of Terrence Crawford - whether it's Koncz doing it or otherwise. And it's a crying shame.

About time!! Not interested!

Shut up you dumb a**, You probably one of those Mayweather fans who thinks he knows boxing because he slap boxed on the corner. Give me a break. What did you say when Mayweather fought Berto. Vargas would KO bERTO AND YOU KNOW IT b****.

I said Floyd is completing and making good on his 6 fight contract with Showtime. After Canelo, Maidana, and Pacquiao, Floyd can fight who the hell he wants for that last match!
