    In other words they are only willing to get beat for Floyd level money

        Stop with the running bull**** once again if u want rockem sockem UFC is across the street. Roach said TC was a lot better than he thought and very dangerous after seeing him up close and would reject the fight between him and Pacman because of the speed power along with his style. So they blatantly ducking him but try to pin it on Crawford. This was the most Crawford moved in any fight he had... not cuz he was scared cuz he was dealin wit a good fighter who can only punch when he sets up. Don't knock TC for a great game plan. Doubt that he would move as much against Pacquiao.

          Exactly! Then they'll say Floyd only fights for the money and the fame, but Manny fights for the love of the sport and the fans, or some bull**** like that!

              August 3, 2016:

              ..Red Spikes, assistant trainer of undefeated unified jr. welterweight champion Terence Crawford, who shared the team's thoughts on a showdown with 8-division former world champion Manny Pacquiao. Check it out.

              PC: Freddie Roach just literally had an opportunity to see Terence up close and personal. You guys were just across the ring from him and he has since said that he would advise Pacquiao not to fight Terence right now. Do you feel that's a situation where Terence may have looked too good for his own good?

              RS: Well, hey, that's our thing now; we want to put out an A performance every time. Of course Terence did an excellent job in this last fight and we still got critics. We still got people saying he's boring and this and all he did was run. You can't please everybody. We starting to get that Mayweather treatment now. It's like we have been watching Mayweather this whole time coming up, watching his interviews, and it's like, okay, now we see what he's been talking about. We see what the media is like and certain people is like and it's funny to see everything come full circle.

              PC: One of the things that bothers me, and Tevin Farmer actually tweeted about this, a fighter gets defeated pretty decisively, he says, "I came to fight and he was running," yet there were knockdowns and that fighter was hurt a few times.

              RS: The art of boxing is to hit and not get hit, you know what I mean. When Terence retires, he wants to be able to play with his kids and play with his grandkids and understand and remember what he did as a fighter. He don't want to get in that golden age and not remember his accomplishments. Are the fans there to help pay for your bills when you're in your 60's? I mean, God willing we wouldn't need that, but I'm just saying a lot of these warriors that I see in Vegas or out of town at fights, you see them and they look like they never had a dime. Where are all of these fans that were hooraying them when they were in there taking punches. You gotta fight for yourself. And the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit. There will be critics anyway. If he would have went in there and knocked him out, they would have said that Postol was overrated. It don't even matter, they going to find a way to hate.

                Manny and his team are not selecting Crawford now for the same reasons they didn't fight Zahir Raheem and waited so long to fight Floyd.

                      I get it, Crawford would have Floyded Manny for 12 rounds.
