Comments Thread For: Crawford's Trainer: We Won't Get Pacquiao If It's Up to Roach

That's why we will never see a passing of the torch match in this era. Just what Whitaker, and Chavez did when they fought Oscar and Trinidad.

When Oscar fought Mayweather and Pacquaio in 2007, and 2008.

Manny is going to retire facing these level of boxers. And Arum is still pitching for a rematch of a fight that is very one sided, and boring.

They never passed the torch, Dela Hoya took the torch from Whitaker and PBF and Manny took the torch from delahoya by beating him by UD or KO. They have to take the torch from them. There is no such thing as passing the torch because the fighters would fight back and the chances are they would win.

why is crawford getting a pass for fighting molina?..danny was getting torched for considering him..what that tells me is ppl acknowledge dannys superiority over crawford..bud shouldn't put his career on hold waiting on the old man manny..he should be getting ready for that inevitable mikey garcia showdown.

Mikey's at 135 and will probably stay there for a minute... Also, Danny is at 147 and hasn't fought anyone relevant at that weight. Molina and Crawford are at 140. I do think people were too critical of that fight considering that Molina beat Provodnikov, but Crawford made the fight with Molina on relatively short notice (the date and HBO money opened up because neither Canelo not GGG were fighting for the rest of the year)... It has nothing to do with superiority...

The problem with taking the tirch in this case is that Manny isn't allowing Crawford the opportunity to do that. May and Pac don't get the torch unless ODLH agrees to fight them...

Manny and PBF agreed to Dela Hoya's terms. Crawford dictated the weight and demanded it at 140 or it is a duck by Manny, and Manny fights Vargas. Crawford blew his oppurtunity to fight manny Pacquiao, it is his own fault.

I was thinking who's my favorite current fighters, I mean...Not the leaders of my p4p list and old guys like Kovalev/Ward who's on decline already...But potential stars who I'd love to sign if I was a promoter, so I've decided it's Lomachenko and Crawford (and maybe Usyk but to a way lesser extent), they're my favorite fighters now, you can't get more elite than that. Bob Arum got two amazing talents in the roster but he can sacrifice the president of the Phillipines to only one of them in order to make a bigger star, that's a hard dilemma

[hack__you]

Pacman has always said it's who his promoter wants him to fight (which I think is a copout). He may have fibal say so, but he doesn't use it (or own the fact that he uses it). Also, weight isn't an issue. If Pac can come to 140 to dight Loma, ehy can't he come to 140 for Crawford. Roach and Arum are on record saying that they don't want the Crawford fight for Manny. They prefer other fights. I'm not going to blame Crawford for that...

Dang....I would pay for Crawford to fight Loma
Crawford vs Mickey or Danny is also a good fight

[Larry the boss]

Another easy fight for Crawford. Its time to get him some tough fights! Crawford is awesome! Its time for him to go up in weight. He smokes Danny Garcia. I would love to see him fight Thurman if he wins

another easy fight???? he just fought Postol for crying out loud

Yet you criticize other fighters for fighting a nobody after fighting a top pound for pound fighter.

EXACTLY this is a waste of time fight with Molina

[RomanReigns]

If only fan favorite Provonikov beat Molina.
