Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Crawford Could Play Out Like Mayweather Fight

[HURTFEELINGS]

Your brilliant analogy fails on one important point ,TC is not a younger floyd , he is a different fighter , you somehow made a leap from one of the greatest fighters to ever box a true ATG beating Pac to just another good fighter which happens to be younger doing the same..... please work on your logic skills because they are broken.
Pac UD TC in a good fight (it will be competitive because Pac is over the hill , but a prime pac embarrass TC).

Genius, I said "younger" i didnt say "TC is a younger Floyd" work on your reading skills, before criticizing logic skills...And Pac is old you pac-roids believe he can beat father time, you guys are gonna be the reason he ends up with CTE. A TC will ko his ass. Theres a reason he opted to fight Vargas instead of TC, Roach knows more about boxing than you and he knows TC would easily beat manny.

Roach considers TC a "young Mayweather." If Pac can't beat the old Mayweather, he doesn't stand a chance vs. the young one! Pac vs. Loma @ 140! Make it happen!

grow a pair of bollocks ffs. WOw, you might lose, who gives a ****. Not as if crawfords some violent puncher who might knock pacquiao out, worst thats going to happen is you get outboxed. Hardly going to hurt pacquiaos legacy much if he loses at 37 to crawford whos on most p4p lists, and pretty high

I woulda bet on Manny pre-Postol, but I was impressed with Crawford a lot in that W. Plus lets be real, while I still got questions about Crawford's chin what exactly is Manny who's not KO'd anyone in 7 years really going to do about that? I say not much.

And this all isn't to say that I'd happily throw a 10 grand on Crawford, but I'm much more split on this fight then I previously was & if push comes to shove on making a pick right now I'd go with Crawford.

aint gotta knock TC out to win. his speed and punches from weird angles will earn TC's respect just like all the other fighters that's been in there with pac. its the punches that you don't see or the one you don't think he'll be able to land them, and when he does, then you start thinking and be more hesitant. happens to all of them.

]Crawford isn't better than bradley IMO. [/B]Crawfords only advatange is for Manny to get burnt out from both senate and boxing duties. I have no idea how Manny did it lol most of us cant go to the gym after our 9-5.... dudes training at a world level. Anyways, I see Manny beating Crawford tbh. But Crawford is ****ing boring man, it's really not worth money tbh. Who knows that dude??? To take that risk??? Lol GGG is more known lol

IMO must mean 'in Mexico only'

Man Manny is old now. He's much slower than he used to be. I don't blame Roach for not wanting to see the old lion beaten by a guy he would have ruined in his prime (if weights were the same etc.) Let Manny have a crack at the Thurman vs Garcia winner. More winnable fight based on styles.

I don't know about all that.

July 26, 2016:

"It's a very tough match-up, Crawford showed that he can move for twelve rounds, he can run for twelve rounds. But y'know, in-between the running and so forth, when he does land punches he does land really powerful punches. He hurt my guy a lot. I know Postol's got a pretty good chin,"said the noted trainer on Monday morning from the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California.

"So Crawford's a pretty good puncher, he hits hard and he moves very well and emulates (Floyd) Mayweather quite a bit, I think. I think he's like a young Mayweather, right now."

And with that said, Roach may not want that Crawford fight for 'the Pac Man' just yet.

Roach knows what time it is! There's no sense putting Manny in with Crawford or Spence Jr.! They're young, hungry, and basically unknown to the general public! Brook is a good choice, but he's a lot bigger and stronger than Manny! Amir Khan and Loma are much better choices, if they can't get a rematch with 40yr. old Floyd Mayweather! If Garcia beats Thurman, Roach will be screaming for a unification bout with Garcia! He has been calling for that fight since Danny put his guy (Amir Khan) to sleep!

I do NOT want to see this fight. Pas is too old to chase around the ring after Crawford.

[Shadoww702]

Give me Pac/Thurman instead. That would be an AWESOME fight. Plus don't forget tiny @ss Guerrero was walking down Thurman. He got his @ss whopped but I think only very few times did he back up.

I never thought about that fight??? DAMN that would be good!!!! Tell Bob Arum here's my $$$$.
