Who do you think Team Mayweather wouldve chosen as an opponent?..

Crawford. With the exception of Berto, he has fought opponents with a reasonable amount of momentum.

That said, if Pacquiao wants to fight Vargas, have at it. He's done enough and can do whatever the **** he wants.

You know Floyd wouldnt fight Crawford, what Black fighters has he fought in the last 10 years with any momentum. Guerrero beat Berto and that was enough momentum to get him Floyd, likewise with Maidana.
Vargas is coming off stopping an undefeated olympian in Ali, more than enough for Floyd

Vargas , He got the belt at 147 & no Vada testing 24/7 rules (The same reason Manny pick Vargas)

I don't care about Pacquiao choosing Vargas, he has nothing left to prove. My problem is Arum twice teasing Pacquiao/Crawford then going with a fight no one is interested in

It was a possibility man but bith fighters are in different directions. TC seems like he wants to make his own legacy not come up from Pacs. I think TC is the real deal, I hope TC gets the winner of Broner vs. Burns. If you think about it for Vargas and moreso for TC beating an old Pac is a losing situation except in the bank account.

So why do you think Pac is getting $h1t on for choosing Vargas?

[Boxfan83]

I don't get why people are complaining. I didn't want Manny to fight again period, you know I love Manny but what is worth it in the Crawford fight? Dangerous, pays the same so screw it; I'll fight Vargas



Pac is an ATG so I don't care who he fights just retire.

I agree with this because in all honesty Vargas or Crawford beating an old Pac is a losing situation really except in their bank accounts. Everyone will just say that beat an old faded version of Pac but forgetr he looked good against the #2 ww.

[Boxfan83]

Neither since they're top rank

It was a hypothetical question BUT its not like it couldnt be done. I hope TC gets the Broner vs. Burns winner.

Latin fighters don't seem to draw like they used to. The biggest Mexican draw right now is Canelo and Floyd schooled him a few years ago so no one wants to see that fight. Freddie said Canelo is too big and strong for Manny so Manny won't go near him.

There aren't many options for either Floyd or Manny right now. Floyd did the right thing by staying retired but Manny is clearly doing the wrong thing by continuing to fight.
Manny has no big names available for him to fight and he clearly needs money. So in steps Vargas, a decent fighter who is an easy style matchup for Manny.

money may. dollars makes sense. has nothing to do with ''avoiding'' or ''ducking''.

Dollars makes sense.

easy, that's a fight with pac

a minimum of 2 million ppv buys.

the big question why Floyd wont fight for the biggest purse which is still Pac?

Pussay?

Very good point. I have been thinking this a lot lately, it shouldnt be a huge surprise to realize Haymon is the most powerful guy in boxing right now and he does poorly in marketing the biggest fanbase. And in all reality the best Latino fighters are with Top Rank and Golden Boy so the guys that Haymon does have are subpar and look like doo doo when matched tough. Latino fighters have style that need activity, timing is key so when you sit a Latino out for long periods of time he loses his touch then after they lose Haymon uses them to build his black fighters. Or Haymon brings in taco vendors to build up black fighters, its honestly pathetic to see. Like I know it bothers black fight fans seeing GGG beat up subpar black opposition. Anyways I know the Latinos need to step up and win but the same opportunities should be afforded to all not just Leo Santa Cruz either.

Floyd would never fight Crawford, ! You can't be serious. Floyd only fought when he had an advantage during his Money stage. During the Pretty boy floyd Stage , he took chances.
