Other good options are Danny Garcia (but Garcia won't agree) or Adrien Broner at 140-147. Broner would be nice because it would bring Crawford more exposure. Then there is Troyanovsky, but he is largely unknown and have fought terrible opposition, so i dont think this will happen. Or Burns, but thats pointless given their previous result

      no,there is no torch,if past Prime part time boxer at this Times didnt give Floyd shot,he wouldnt be half a star he is.If Berto was given shot,why not Thurman or Danny.They didnt past a torch and we have no star in boxing now.Floyd fight would make Thurman name Rise More Then unifing WW and beating All top guys just like Oscar win for Floyd

        The thing we complain about the most is boxers seeming unwilling to take chances. The boxing world is waiting on someone to step up and take over. I wrote a thread last week comparing the current under 30 resumes to those of Floyd at the same age. If he retired at 28 his resume would still be twice as good as these current fighters 30 and under. These fighters have done nothing to even deserve the opportunity to get the torch passed. Look at what Floyd and Manny had done when Oscar gave them the opportunity and look at what these current fighters have done that you're campaigning for. It doesn't even compare. They haven't even earned the opportunity.

Crawford was hoping for it, yet Pac snubbed him. thats why he made that statement after beating Postol to unify belts

          Also Roach admitted 140 is Pacquiao best weight class, he said Manny needed tune up fights to see if he is ready for Crawford, who he described as a young Floyd.

          That's more an excuse for Pac fans to why he is ducking Crawford.

                Yea but that's relying on Floyd, Manny and Oscar to make you a superstar. These guys aren't even stars. Floyd and Manny were stars when they took on Oscar and became superstars when they beat him. None of them have separated themselves from the pack

                  But do you think Pacquiao is scared of Crawford?

                  Do you think Crawford would beat this Pacquiao, non prime and all? Tell me exactly why you think so. Who did Crawford fight that makes you think Crawford would beat Pac?

                  You should watch his fight with Dierry Jean and imagine Jean was Pacquiao in that fight. Just mentioning a nobody like Jean makes me squirm. Come on doe. Get real.

                      Not just one person but if he could beat Garcia and Spence and/or Bradley he could become a star.
