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

[Fangedgrowl]

I think in all fairness to both sides. Crawford brings nothing as far as ppv buys outside of The Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa area. Pac is past his prime. Let him fight a Canelo, Mayweather 2, mARQUEZ 5, . Crawford is the future of Top Ranked. Let him fight Broner, Loma, Garcia (Mikey), Garcia ( Danny) , Thurmon, Spence etc.

Paq wants easy fights and easy cash to take back to slum island

Manny Paq wants easy fights for big pay without many risks. Crawford is a huge risk. Look fo slimyr Manny to fight a Paulie Mags type of pug next. What idiot buys a Manny Paq fight anyway? DUH? Ricky Burns is also a good Paq opponent.

I can see that fight happening. or maybe against a Sadam Ali.

Yea Sadam Ali is the type Manny likes an easy opponent and a sure win. even Victor Ortiz or John Molina.

Even this old version of pac kicks TC ass..he better just keep fluffing his record and stay away from pacnuts..not sure why people to include freddy, feel that TC has a chance to beat pacnuts..I say this they make tge fight so that pac can humble him a bit.

I don't agree that Crawford needs a Pacman or Mayweather to reach superstardom. He needs to stay active (3-4 fights a year) and clear out divisions (Broner and unifying 140 should be his priorities if Pac doesn't want it). After that, go to 147 and start handling business. Stop betting it all on a big name. Keep grinding and the fans will respond accordingly. People want Pacman and Mayweather paydays without Pacman and Mayweather resumes.

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.

Exactly plenty of good fighters at 147. You have Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Erroll Spence, and he can face Frankie Gomez next year at 140.

Roach doesn't get to say who Pacquiao fights. It is Pacquiao who gets the final say and you blew it like lottery money spent in a year. "140 or duck" who the heck says that kind of crap when a boxing star offers you a big fight at 147? And then cries "we didn't get the fight" because you demanded a weight Pacquiao doesn't want to fight. It's all of Crawford's fault why Vargas was chosen over him, and especially when Pacquiao already said that the Crawford fight isn't a problem at 147.

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...
