Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Crawford Possible, I like Pacquiao-Canelo Better

[Ake-Dawg]

All this Nelo talk and everyone is overlooking the Loma pass. Loma asked for 135 not 130 and where did this year from now crap come from? Manny is in full cash out mode.

He struggled with the one round he lost to margarito but did have to be careful you realize how little he is compared to canella fights at 175 fight night. Margarito was tall and much bigger too

Roach needa to stop selling pacnuts short, TC is not Mayweather, ol pacnuts will kick TC ass...The only person that can beat pac from 140-147 is 💰 and I am no fan of pacnuts...it's just the truth...outside id landing a bomb like Marquez did I just can't see anyone beat him..Roach just needs to push for this TC fight..

[carlos djackal]

i'm telling ya all....roach gonna get manny killed....

Why would he want the Canelo fight other than money? Years ago when Pacquiao was at the top they wanted nothing to do with Canelo, now he's past it Roach wants the fight. Doesn't make sense.

Canelo is definitely bigger than Margs. Margs was still at 147 for much of his prime. Canelo was immediately 154 after teenage years basically. Margs also was the same size as Cotto. Canelo was way bigger.

How hell was Cheato the same size as 5' 2" Cotto???

I give Pac a very GOOD chance of beating Crawford. BUT he needs the right ref. In the ring for that fight. He needs the type of ref. Like the one in the Ward vs. Kovalov fight. If he gets Floyd Bayless Jr. I won't even.buy the fight. Because I know he'll stop Pac everytime he even flinches towards TC.

Yeah but if they were ever to actually put this fight together...they'd have to do something along those lines. I get what you're saying but what's Manny supposed to do, Manny goes into fights in the mid 140's on fight night, meanwhile Canelo goes in the neighborhood of 180.

That would be a light heavyweight going in there against a welter, and a small welter at that

You are ******ed as hell, as of right now:
1 Canelo is a JMW
2 Pacquiao is a WW

It don't matter if you gain 100 pounds overnight, if you make the limit then you are a fighter of that weightclass. Tim Bradley has said himself that between fights he's been as high as mid 180's, so??? It don't matter Bradley is a WW, that's a fact.

If Canelo moves up for his next fight he'll be a MW, period, if he can make 154 again then he's a JMW.

but hey, Pacquiao is a small WW..............let's see if he can make 135 for Lomachenko or 140 for Crawford, I think he can make 140 but not less, it don't matter, Pacquiao has been fighting his last fights @WW hence he is a WW. PERIOD.

pac beats crawford, pac gets killed by canelo at this point. crawford will be bigger than pac on fight night which is gonna be an advantage, just imagine how much bigger canelo will be.

negative... roach been saying he wants pac and canelo since 2014.

"Well, you know, they're talking about Canelo Alvarez now. At the right weight, we'll fight him. Thing is, he's a much bigger guy than Manny usually. But if we can get a catchweight that'd be fair to both of them, I think it'd be a good fight. I'd love that fight".
